Rochester, NY:  NASA has selected Dimension Technologies Inc. (DTI) for a phase I contract to investigate the adaptation of DTI’s new high resolution glasses free 3D technology to cockpit displays. Previous studies by the US Air Force and others indicate the use of 3D displays can increase situation awareness and improve hazard avoidance in aircraft, helicopters, and potentially spacecraft.  DTI’s new 3D display technology avoids the heavy resolution loss associated with other 3D displays, allowing the creation of 3D images with as much resolution as the LCD on which they are displayed.  Furthermore,  DTI’s displays can easily be made sunlight readable, since they do not use slit barriers or other light blocking elements.
