DTI has completed a contract from Department of Energy that proved the feasibility of its new autostereoscopic 3D that is switchable between perfect 2D and autostereoscopic audience view 3D. The no-glasses 3D images possess two to three times the resolution that is available on existing autostereoscopic multiview displays. Today's autostereoscopic displays are "Wow, look it's 3D" devices that are used mainly for advertising and digital signage. These DTI enhancements to flat panel displays will go beyond the "wow factor" to become practical devices that will be immediately useful to vertical markets like non regulated medical. DTI's patented technology can be scaled to apply from cell phones and hand held devices to large flat panel displays. The Company intends to license this attractive superior 2D/3D technology.
Rochester, NY July 13, 2010 – Dimension Technologies Inc. has completed a contract with the Department of Energy proving the feasibility of a new autostereoscopic 3D technology for high resolution collaborative engineering displays. This new technology avoids much of the resolution loss associated with previous multiview autostereoscopic displays, and also allows switching between a conventional 2D mode for the display of conventional images and a 3D mode for compelling glasses free 3d content.
“The 3D technology developed under this program will be useful not only for engineering, but for a wide variety of applications from point of sale advertising to medicine and dentistry “states Arnold Lagergren, CEO of Dimension Technologies Inc. “Two of our major customers and partners in the casino and medical arenas already want displays based on the technology we demonstrated under this program. We plan to go into production with displays incorporating the basic features of the technology this year, and use the follow on SBIR Phase II grant for the implementation of the more advanced features that were also investigated. DTI owns major patents on this breakthrough technology and has applied for more.”
“This project represents a timely opportunity to upgrade the capabilities of our products” said Jesse Eichenlaub, CTO of Dimension technologies. “Previous autostereoscopic displays, the type commonly used for trade show and point of sale advertising, greatly reduce the resolution of the image in order to create the 3D effect. For example, common multiview displays reduce the resolution of the 3D image by a factor of five to nine in order to display the five to nine perspective views used to create the 3D images. Using DTI’s technology, this loss could theoretically be reduced by a factor of four or more using the fastest LCD displays. This would allow wide angle 3D displays with resolutions equal or almost equal to that of the native LCD used to create them. Our technology also eliminates the visual artifacts called Moiré lines or “image ripple” seen in other autostereoscopic displays.”
Arnold Lagergren states: “One of the barriers to adapting 3D displays to professional scientific visualization applications and eventually to home television has been the resolution loss associated with 3D displays. Most people today expect to see something close to full 1080p images when they look at their screen. I think this technology is a giant step in that direction.”
Founded in 1986, Dimension Technologies Inc. manufactures and licenses off the shelf and custom built autostereoscopic (3D without glasses) computer and video displays which are used in numerous government and commercial applications.
