3D images “floating in air”

Here’s how the technology works. Light from a light-emitting diode (LED) passes through a transparent plate embedded with tens of thousands of Fresnel lenses, which are special lenses that can alter the light beam angle. In this way, light is refracted to produce an image in the upper air above the plate. This results in the projection of 3D images. Using this technology can add extra information (benefits and convenience) to a variety of objects in the real world. Moreover, all you need for aerial imaging is one LED and one transparent plate. With these components, 3D images can be easily projected virtually anywhere. In fact, the possible applications of aerial imaging expand almost limitlessly.

Holo-Gauze.

Holo-Gauze create epic show DJ Eric Prydz benefited from some extraordinary signage that debuted at his EPIC 5.0, London Victoria Park gig in late May. The holographic 3D display was produced by Holo-Gauze, and aided Realtime Environmental Systems (RES) and creative director for the show, Liam Tomaszewski, in creating the large hologram.

The displays included a spaceman and a galaxy, which was projected in front of around 15,000 fans.  Four Panasonic RZ31K 30, 000 lumen laser projectors beamed the pictures onto a Holo-Gauze screen, which was in front of Eric Prydz, amazing his audience.

As well as the large holograms, there was a V-shaped 2304 x 576 pixel LED display was placed at the back of the stage, with another V-shaped screen forming a cube, playing animations around the DJ. The pixels on the front screen allowed the audience to see Prydz when he was lit up, despite the animations also showing in front of him.

Holo-Gauze is ideal for live events such as this, allowing live performers to be situated behind our near-visible gauze while visually stunning holographic effects appear to float in front of them. Holo-Gauze makes the seemingly impossible, possible”

Stuart Warren-Hill, Holo-Gauze inventor and Holotronica owner and chief executive, comments: “I was absolutely delighted when RES again asked us to help with Eric’s latest EPIC show.

“Holo-Gauze is ideal for live events such as this, allowing live performers to be situated behind our near-visible gauze while visually stunning holographic effects appear to float in front of them. Holo-Gauze makes the seemingly impossible, possible.”

Holo-Gauze were also part of Beyoncé’s Grammy Awards performance, as well as Prydz’s previous EPIC 3.0 show at Madison Square Garden

Here is a demo of Holo-Gauze in Las Vegas June 2016. The test shows the excellent invisibility and the wide viewing angle.

RED reveals - the holographic smartphone display.

source; www.engadget.com

When RED Camera first announced its crazy $1,200 Hydrogen smartphone with a "holographic display," a lot of folks wondered how that would actually work. Now, CEO Jim Jannard has revealed that RED is creating the screen in partnership with a company called Leia Inc. (yes, like that Leia). A spin-off from Hewlett-Packard labs, it calls itself "the leading provider of light field holographic display solutions for mobile," and the key words "light field" gives us a pretty good idea as to how it works

Light field displays use multiple layers of LCDs with a "directional backlight," letting you see two different views of the same object with each eye, producing a 3D effect. In practice, when you rotate a display, objects like buildings would appear to project from the screen, as shown in the video below. The effect shows a lot of promise for virtual and augmented reality headsets, but for external displays, viewing angles have been limited so far.

Leia says it "leverages recent breakthroughs in nano-photonic design and manufacturing to provide a complete lightfield 'holographic' display solution for mobile devices." It says the tech can create a holograph-like effect, "while preserving the normal operation of the display." In other words, if you turn off the 4D part, it'll work like a regular smartphone screen. RED hasn't showed the tech to many folks yet, but MKBHD's Marcus Brownlee did see it, and said he was "pretty impressed," adding that it wasn't perfect because of issues like light bleeding and stuttering for 4D gaming.

To produce content for the screen in the form of .h4v files, Jannard has told Redusers that "you can generate .h4v (holographic 4-View) by shooting 4 cameras (we are building solutions from consumer to professional), or by converting 3D to .h4v (very easy), or converting 2D to 3D (very hard) and then to .h4v."

RED has formed a "strategic partnership" with Leia and made an unnamed investment in the company, and Jannard will join its board of directors. It says the smartphone will arrive in the first half of 2018, and functional prototypes are supposed to be ready in the coming months.

Kagami / Real-Time Face Generator.

‘kagami’ means a mirror in Japanese. ‘kagami / Real-Time Face Generator’ is an installation, which features ‘3D mirror,’ capable of replicating a person’s face in three dimensions. The installation’s face scanner scans a participant’s face, and a computer converts the scan into 3D modeling data. On the basis of this data, around 5,000 rods are moved forward by a motor, creating a 3D face in real time. The face then becomes a canvass for the theme of ‘Kacho Fugetsu’, which means beauties of nature in Japanese, as electric makeup art featuring morning glory, bamboo, butterflies, kingfishers, ibis, sunsets, cherry blossoms, moon etc. is projected onto its surface. This work is the result of a collaboration between WOW and a project team from Kao Corporation, who drew their inspiration from the ‘OMOTE’ project. It took one year to produce, from planning through to completion. It has been established as an exhibit at Kao’s COCOLAB museum, founded in September this year. Nobumichi Asai (WOW) acted as creative and technical director for ‘kagami’ and ‘Kacho Fugetsu,’ overseeing the planning and development of the project. Noboru Tomizawa, who also collaborated on ‘Connected Colors’, oversaw the makeup art. Beautiful makeup art provides a base over which WOW’s CG animation is projected to evoke the vivacity and motion of nature. Music was provided by hatis noit, using a tonal palette exclusively composed of sounds from nature. Using sounds from her native Hokkaido, the sound of the wind over the plains, running water, bird song etc., hatis noit creates a sound-scape drawn from her own memories.

Digital fabrication has been predominant around the world as the popularity of 3D printers represents. This work can be included in the trend. The definitions of ‘thing’ and ‘information’ are basically opposite, but they are equivalent in our mind in the age of digital fabrication. In a way, we can say our ‘existence’ is composed of ‘collection of meaningful information (= code)’. In the human body, a spherule called a ribosome reads the sequence of DNA and transfers 20 different amino acids to produce protein. In the past, we thought that human lives were analogue and organic, which was different to the idea of digital computing. But human lives are supported by the idea like 3D printing in its essence. Cloning is done by copying DNA. And this idea expands to ethical issues with artificial cloning of organisms, which are still controversial. Experiencing this installation, you may be shocked. You should be one of a kind, but your ‘existence’ is reproduced with this. So, the title ‘kagami’ includes the meaning ‘you face your “existence”’.

Skymedia omarmt 3D-TV technologie van Dimenco.

Skymedia, een grote Koreaanse tv-producent, gaat toestellen produceren op basis van 3D-technologie van het Nederlandse Dimenco waarvoor geen speciale bril nodig is.
Dimenco maakte het tekenen van deze licentieovereenkomst bekend tijdens de CES (die van 6 t/m 9 januari in Las Vegas word gehouden).

Bron; www.sign.nl

Ervaring
“De enige manier waarop de consument 3D zou moeten ervaren is zonder de noodzaak van een speciale bril,” zegt Alex So, CEO van Skymedia. “Daarom ben ik zeer enthousiast om te werken met dit toonaangevende No-Glasses 3D-bedrijf in de wereld en zo de beste 3D televisie-ervaring voor onze klanten te bieden.”

Optische laag
Tot nu toe werd 3D auto-stereoscopische (No-Glasses) displays altijd aanzienlijk aangetast door de waargenomen resolutie, beperkte bewegingsvrijheid en de hoge kosten. De reden hiervoor is de optische laag die extra is gelamineerd op de bovenkant van de LCD. Deze optische laag wordt gebruikt om verschillende informatie naar elk oog te ‘zenden’, waardoor de 3D ervaring onstaat. Dit is vergelijkbaar met een lensvormige (lenticular) kaart. Naast deze optische laag is slimme beeldverwerking nodig om een optimaal 3D-beeld te genereren.

Optische structuur
Dimenco’s technologie heeft de beperkte bewegingsvrijheid en verlies van resolutie opgelost door het aanbrengen van een unieke optische structuur op de top van de 4K (UD) resolutie LCD-panelen. De combinatie van deze optische structuur (Dimenco Clear View) en de onderliggende hoge resolutie van het scherm scherm resulteert in een prachtige No-Glasses FHD 3D-ervaring.

Projected 3D images float in space with spheree.

Bron; www.inavateonthenet.net

Three-dimensional projection inside a sphere has been used to create the illusion of objects floating within a globe. The system, called Spheree, also supports interaction with the objects and allows viewers to view multiple angles from different points around the display. It was developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo, in Brazil, and University of British Columbia, in Canada.

Spheree uses calibrated pico-projectors to create a seamless rear-projected display within a spherical display surface. The system automatically calibrates and blends the projectors using a standard webcam.

Optical tracking supports head-coupled rendering to provide motion parallax-based 3D depth cues and Spheree supports direct interaction techniques. It can be used as a design tool with the ability to modify existing models via a 3D interaction interface on the sphere.

Final models can be exported or printed on a 3D printer. Spheree is scalable and can use larger projectors for a larger display. The research team has tested a 20-in diameter, eight pico-projector unit as well as a 7-in four pico-projector option.

AV TECH OPENS UP A WORLD OF MUSEUMS IN ROMANIA.

Bron; http://www.inavateonthenet.net

A museum in Romania is utilising 3D projection, 3D screens and a host of touchscreens to allow visitors to explore exhibitions and displays from numerous museums around the world. The Digital Museum was designed by architect Claudiu Ionsecu to deliver a great number of presentations within a very small space. It is situated near the Mures Floodplain Natural Park in Pecica, Romania.

Forty-five inch touchscreens and passive 3D technologies are packed into the 125m² space.

Content ranges from exhibits from museums around the world down to information on the local area. The museum also encourages visitors to explore the local area virtually using exercise bikes coupled with digital displays or physically using one of 60 mountain bikes.

Ionescu said: “Inspired by Constantin Brancusi’s ‘miracle’ sculpture, the building rises naturally from the ground through golden spirals (the fibonacci spirals) and crystallizes in a shape that, just like its muse, tries to set itself free from ‘the past burdens’, striving to rise high. Its shape offers the visitor a feeling of aspiration, an aspiration not only of the building, but of life itself.”

DualView: Displaying two images at the same time.

Welcome to the world of DualView, a technology that has now established itself on the dashboard of high-end Jaguars, Mercedes’, and Range Rovers. DualView uses 3D tech to display two 2D images simultaneously, in this case, allowing the passenger to watch TV, while the driver can continue plotting his route through the satellite navigation system.

The technology’s origins lay in 3D – specifically glasses-free 3D, most recently seen in Nintendo’s 3DS and 3DS XL handheld games console. Much like the 3DS, DualView combines a normal LCD with parallax barrier technology, displaying two pictures simultaneously by separating the direction of light from each pixel into two directions.

Engineering a hidden screen

Interestingly, Sharp Laboratories of Europe has become specialists in creating displays that change their appearance when viewed from different angles.  At the same time that DualView displays were unveiled, Sharp also announced an interesting new type of display for smartphones and tablet screens.  The idea behind it was to enable a privacy function for confidential or sensitive subject matter. Using it on public transport, since you can only see what is on the screen looking straight on, any fellow commuters on your left or right aren’t able to sneak a peak at what you’re reading.

“Sharp’s DualView displays use parallax barrier technology which is very similar to that used in Sharp’s 3D displays, however, instead of creating a left eye and right eye view, the parallax barrier is much closer to the display so that it creates a left person and right person view”.

3d-hologram van hart.

bron; www.nutech.nl

Artsen hebben in Israël een 3d-hologram van een hart bij een operatie gebruikt om beter inzicht real time te krijgen in het orgaan bij de patiënt.
Dat maken Philips en het Israëlische bedrijf Realview maandag bekend. De bedrijven leverden de technologie die het 3d-hologram mogelijk maken.
Tijdens een minimaal invasieve ingreep (een kleine operatie met katheter) werden live-beelden van het hart doorgestuurd naar apparatuur van Philips waardoor een 3d-hologram van het orgaan in de operatiekamer zweefde
Artsen kunnen het hologram met handbewegingen draaien en het effect van bepaalde ingrepen controleren. Ook is het mogelijk markeringspunten aan te brengen en het effect van instrumenten te zien.

Persbericht

Het hologram wordt opgebouwd uit 2d-röntgenbeelden en een echografie. Normaal kijken artsen naar 2d-beelden op een scherm. Door het hologram zouden organen beter zichtbaar zijn en krijgt de arts meer real time informatie over het effect van bepaalde handelingen.
Tijdens het pilotonderzoek werd het 3d-hologram gebruikt bij acht patiënten. Alle ingrepen vonden plaats in samenwerking met het Schneider Medisch Centrum voor Kinderen in Petach Tikva.
"Met de holografische projecties kon ik intuïtief de ruimtelijke 3d-anatomie van het hart van de patiënt begrijpen en onderzoeken", aldus dr. Einat Birk die meewerkte aan het onderzoek. "Maar het was tijdens de procedure ook mogelijk de interactie tussen mijn instrumenten en het weefsel in te schatten."


Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Yokneam, Israel - Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) and RealView Imaging Ltd. today announced that they have completed a clinical study that has demonstrated the feasibility of using an innovative live 3D holographic visualization and interaction technology to guide minimally-invasive structural heart disease procedures. In the pilot study that involved eight patients and was conducted in collaboration with the Schneider Children's Medical Center in Petach Tikva, Israel, RealView's innovative visualization technology was used to display interactive, real-time 3D holographic images acquired by Philips' interventional X-ray and cardiac ultrasound systems. In addition to viewing the patient's heart on a 2D screen, doctors in the interventional team were able to view detailed dynamic 3D holographic images of the heart 'floating in free space' during a minimally-invasive structural heart disease procedure, without using special eyewear. The doctors were also able to manipulate the projected 3D heart structures by literally touching the holographic volumes in front of them. The study demonstrated the potential of the technology to enhance the context and guidance of structural heart repairs.

 

Transparent 3D Display Technology.

Samsung lead the way in commercializing transparent LCD display products for a wide variety of retail display applications such as product showcases, commercial freezer doors and platform doors of subway stations.  More recently, HiSense International Co., Ltd (China) has taken the concept (one dimension) further by demonstrating a prototype glasses-based transparent 3D display.
The transparent, 1080p, 50-inch LCD makes it possible to have physical objects behind the display be completely visible while, simultaneously, having a picture or video floating in front of the display screen.

Bron; www.display-central.com


A video illustrating the transparent 3D display in operation can be found below.  The video illustrates the transparent 3D display configured for use by a real estate company.  In this application, a physical model of a town is placed behind the display screen, while the video on the display indicated properties for sale in the town.
A principle difference between the transparent 3D LCD TV and a conventional 3D LCD TV relates to the backlight.  In a conventional 3D LCD TV (and also in a normal 2D LCD TV) the backlight and LCD panel are fixed together.  In HiSense’s transparent 3D LCD, the backlight is distanced perhaps a foot from the LCD panel.  The physical objects are positioned between the display panel and the backlight.
A very significant point is that the new HiSense transparent 3D display requires that users put on passive polarized glasses to see the 3D image.  Clearly, this requirement puts constraints on possible applications for the display.
HiSense stated that the transparent 3D is not really intended for consumers.  Rather, the prototype is intended to test the interest level of corporate buyers for applications on office walls or as an advertising display.  Other potential applications include use in museums and other attractions where it could be used to create displays that combine real objects – such as artifacts – with 3D images.
Although called a prototype, the demonstration unit looks as if it could quickly be made into a product.  In fact, HiSense commented that the company is anticipating availability in 2013 for a price of about $3,000.
It is interesting to note that the HiSense prototype is not the first effort at development of a transparent 3D display.  A somewhat different approach was under development by researchers at the University of Bristol (Bristol, United Kingdom).  This project was called MUSTARD, a clever acronym for Multi User See Through Augmented Reality Display.
A copy of a recent article published by the Bristol group can be found here.  A video explaining the configuration and principles of operation of the MUSTARD display can be found below.
The researchers describe MUSTARD as a “dynamic random hole see-through display, capable of delivering viewer dependent information for objects behind a glass cabinet.”  The system consists of two liquid crystal display panels between which physical objects can be placed.  The rear LC panel serves as a dynamic mask while the front panel provides the data.  The system can include head tracking.
In as much as the MUSTARD approach is autostereoscopic, the main constraint of the HiSense approach is mitigated.  On the other hand, although MUSTARD is LCD based, it is a more complex and likely more expensive configuration.
The bottom line for transparent 3D displays is that both these candidate approaches have a drawback that would limit their potential for commercialization.  This is a category of 3D display technology whose time may not yet have arrived.

Award-Winning SeeFront 3D Hits the Casino Floors of Las Vegas.

3D Glasses-free Displays - Symbols from ancient Egypt jumping off the screen, a desert landscape stretching into infinity in glasses-free true 3D: Leading slot machine manufacturer GTECH chose SeeFront to supply the 3D display technology for their new True 3D™ product line. The first title of this line, Sphinx 3D™, will be launched at Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas from September 24-26, 2013.



The Egypt-themed game utilizes the unique benefits of the patented glasses-free SeeFront 3D™ technology: The display shows pyramids, hieroglyphs and scarabs in bright, brilliant colors and with accurate 3D depth representation. The integrated eye-tracking allows players to change the viewing angle and look around virtual objects by moving their head.
“We are looking forward to seeing SeeFront’s 3D technology hit the casino floors of Las Vegas. A slot machine is one of the numerous applications where 3D glasses would not be acceptable. However, SeeFront 3D displays do not only enhance the entertainment experience but also bring a valuable benefit to professional fields like medical technology and engineering”, said SeeFront’s Founder & CEO Christoph Grossmann.
For SeeFront 2013 marks the strategic leap from a technology provider and licensor role to becoming a 3D display manufacturer. In May, German Innovation Award 2013 winner SeeFront showcased its first display hardware product, a 23’’ OEM 3D display, and the prototype of an upcoming 13.3’’ 3D monitor at SID Display Week in Vancouver.

Is 3D TV Dying ??

3D TV is back in the news, but not in a good way. This morning, an ESPN PR spokesperson announced in a tweet that they were discontinuing 3D to focus on other things, like UHD. This move had been rumored for some time in the tech press, stemming from a 2011 decision by AT&T U-Verse to stop carrying 3D channels and a significant lack of 3D news coming from ESPN recently as it announced its fall college football coverage.

But really… is anyone surprised?

Over the last year, as demonstrated in DisplaySearch TV shipment data, 3D has shown no real growth in the North America market. Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, 3D has continued to grow, although that growth has recently tailed off a bit.



Figure 1 – 3D Share of TV Shipments (DisplaySearch)

The reason for the poor adoption in what many considered to be the best market for 3D? I believe there are a multiple reasons for the low interest:

3D, as a feature, one that is often offered with other features, still carries a hefty premium and U.S. consumers have been very unwilling in recent years to spend more for features when they can get a large size instead. The average 3D premium for a 55” TV in North America was more than 40 percent in Q1’13, almost exactly the same as it was in Q1’11. US consumers seem to be far more price sensitive than other regions.

Burden of 3D glasses. Consumers have cited the expense and inconvenience of having to use 3D glasses, of any type, in order to view 3D programs. Given a choice, most consumers would prefer glasses-free 3D TVs, but the technology is a long way from being consumer friendly.

Demonstrations at retail are often not functioning properly.

Consumers in the U.S. have been exposed to 3D at home many times in the past (anyone remember red/green anaglyphic glasses that used to come in cereal boxes?) and the experience has been poorly received. This time around, there is a fair bit of skepticism. In other parts of the world, 3D at home is a fairly new experience and the level of wonder and optimism for content is probably sustaining demand.

Finally, content has been very limited, even 3 years after the launch. Few live programs are available in 3D and most of what is available (exclusive of 3D Blu-Ray releases) is from a limited range of material that is re-run often.

It’s understandable that content creators are hesitant to continue investing in costly new technologies if the viewer base is not growing at an attractive rate. However, this move by ESPN might signal that the momentum has shifted away from 3D in the U.S. and TV manufacturers and retailers would be wise to take note.

3D displays on view at Amsterdam Central Station.

Last week Balfour – a London based 3D advertising company installed multiple Dimenco glasses-free 3D displays at Amsterdam Central Station (Metro lobby). Along with the displays in the recently opened cinema Pathe Amersfoort the 3D glasses-free displays are now truly making their debut at public places in the Netherlands. The advertisements range from Star Wars Lego to City Box to Durex placements and are all in 3D. The 3D effect can be seen from far, and in despite of everyone’s busy schedule, many by passers stop to take a look at one of the displays to see what’s going on. This is what we call “3D stopping power”.
If you’re in the neighborhood of Amsterdam Central Station, be sure to stop by and take a look at the next big step in glasses-free 3D display technology.
