PLEASE VIEW IN SLIDE SHOW MODE TO ACTIVATE AUDIO Some Aspects of 3D… in Depth! Single-Source Stereo and Microstereoscopic 3D Mark Schubin, SchubinCafe.com Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9
3D Challenges Pre-Viewer • 2X equipment & signals + • Additional personnel • convergence per pair • stereographer • Additional processing • correct, match, format • Graphics z-axis depth • Distribution resolution • Monitoring challenges Pace rig NEP SS-3D (6 of 16 seats) Sony brochures Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9
3D Viewer Challenges • Limited 3DTV penetration • need for separate coverage? • Glasses • cost, batteries, maintenance • Compatibility w/2D viewing • need for 2D glasses? • Perceptual conflicts • stereovisual-vestibular • distance-based Pace- Fujinon Shadow Sony 3DTV at CES 2009 3 “simulator sickness” Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9

Anaglyph Challenges • Inexpensive glasses • Any TV • Any color TV distribution • Full resolution But • Strong ghosting • Poor color rendition • Eye rivalry • Light loss • Display adjustment TrioScopics ColorCode 3-D Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9

The Elusive Grail Can there be a 3D system with • no ghosting • no V-A conflict or shrinking • 2D-viewer compatibility • no extra personnel • one lens & camera/position • one signal path/recording • full resolution • inexpensive glasses • for all TVs & distribution? Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9
Alternatives to Twin-Lens 3D • Less Than Fully Stereoscopic • e.g., choromostereoscopic, Pulfrich • 2D-to-3D Conversion • frame-by-frame, auto+assist, live • Virtual 3D Cameras • second VC per position • Single-Lens Stereoscopic • Sony TDG, ISee3D, etc. BBC R&D White Paper 180 ISee3D shuttering Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9
Chromostereopsis • Eye lens focuses one color • red seems in front of blue • Real-world often matches • front: people, animals back: green trees, blue skies • easy animation • ChromaDepth glasses • prism-based color shift portion of Apparatus to Talk to Aliens, Akiyoshi Kitaoka, Ritsumeikan U. Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9
Pulfrich Illusion • One eye darkened • dark eye sees what was • clear eye sees what is • Choreography crucial • carousel ideal • Rolling Stones Steel Wheels tour – good Super Bowl half-time – bad Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9
View Shifting • “Wiggle-Vision” • 3D for the one-eyed • Constant motion • if not subtle, annoying • if subtle, near invisible • V3 iris-shifting lens adaptor • widely used, very subtle • see for yourself: http://www.inv3.com/examples_section.html Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9

Microstereopsis • Term coined by Mel Siegel, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, and co-authors of papers “Kinder Gentler Stereo,” and “Just Enough Reality: Comfortable 3D Viewing via Microstereopsis” (Proc. SPIE, 1999) • Intended as a solution to “simulator sickness” • Concept much older (as will be seen) • Not likely to be confused with microstereoscopy, term used for 3D microscopy Mark Schubin, 3D Stereo MEDIA, Liege, 2010 December 9
