The Elusive Grail Can there be a 3D system with • no ghosting • no V-A conflict or shrinking • adult-child compatibility • 2D-viewer compatibility • no extra personnel • one lens & camera/position • one signal path/recording • full spatial & temporal resolution • inexpensive glasses • for all TVs & distribution? Mark Schubin,HPA Tech Retreat, 2011 February 17
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. • SoliDDD, Wasol, Zepar BBC R&D White Paper 180 ISee3D shuttering Mark Schubin,HPA Tech Retreat, 2011 February 17
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,HPA Tech Retreat, 2011 February 17
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,HPA Tech Retreat, 2011 February 17
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,HPA Tech Retreat, 2011 February 17
