Glasses-free 3D on display at MIPTV

Tuesday 13 April 2010 - A star attraction of the MDA Singapore stand (07.19) is the glasses-free 3D demo, which uses content created by Singapore's Tiny Island Productions to display dazzling stereoscopic images. As Tiny Island's David Kwok explains, the system, developed by French firm Alioscopy, displays content shot on eight cameras to create images whose perspective changes when moving laterally in front od the screen. Called auto-stereoscopic 3D ('auto' for the glasses-free bit), the technology is still in its early stages; but Kwok promises more content by MIPCOM. If, of course, everyone can agree on a common standard first; and Kwok hopes, on a glasses-free format. So progress remains to be made, but one thing is certain: glasses are now no longer a prerequisite for 3D. Exciting times...
