3-D Real-Time Video Display System

True 3-D Video Display System

True real-time 3-D simulations /images can now be seen with the naked eye. POC’s unique autostereoscopic video digital display, display system requires no goggles or special glasses to view 3-D images. Proprietary HDS™ Holographic Digital Display Screen combines 2-D projected images into 3-D viewing zones by combining left (L) and right(R) stereo images. POC’s 3-D systems will accept 3-D recorded images, video, games or graphics and will display them for 3-D viewing. The special POC software interface is compatible with standard 3-D graphic and design software, and enables the storage and retrieval of 3-D images.




POC 3-D Systems

POC’s unique 3-D systems consists of a special 3-D interfacing software, three CPU’s, two (2-D) LCD projectors – PL (left) and PR (right), turning mirrors, and special HDS™ Holographic Display Screen.




Software Interface

A three CPU “Chromium Cluster” computer network is used for image processing and fast response time. Each CPU contains a 1.6GHz Pentium 4 processor with 512 MB of DDR (double data rate) ram memory. A high performance (G-Force 4 titanium 4200) graphics processor is used, and each CPU is connected with a 100Mbps Ethernet link.

The special interfacing software processes 3-D recorded video, graphics and images, and directs them to the left (PL) and right (PR) LCD projectors.

POC’s software interface is compatible with Windows PC based 3-D software such as OGL (Open Graphic Language), Direct X, 3D Max, and MAYA.OBJ. The software will work with operating engines such as LINUX and Quake III.

On a custom OEM basis, the software interface can be adapted for additional software compatibility.

HDS™ Holography Digital Display System


View 3-D With The Naked Eye

The heart of POC’s 3-D display is the HDS™ Holographic Display Screen, which combines the images from two (2-D) LCD projectors (PL & PR) into a 3-D viewing zone. POC currently produces HDS™ screens up to 35” x 35”.




Viewing Zones

Using holographic techniques, one, two or more viewing zones can be recorded into the HDS™ Screen. The standard viewing zone is 24” vertical by 2-3” horizontal (same view by multiple viewers). A “look around” effect can be achieved with additional projectors.

The HDS™ Screen recording and play back techniques help reduce “eye fatigue” when directly viewed.




Applications:
