Projectors seem to be getting more and more advanced
Projectors seem to be getting more and more advanced as the days go by. With more advancements in overall resolution output and color contrast, we see many of the new products bleeding together. Not many of the new projectors offer anything different from each other, other than a brand name and subtle spec differences. 3D projectors offer the 3D experience that we’ve come to know and love. 2D allows for higher resolution rates and is the standard in the home theater system. What if there were a projector, or projectors, that could make 2D and 3D possible at the same time?
Researchers from the Kanagawa Institute of Technology in Japan have now made this possible.
Through using a pair of projectors working in tandem with one another, a “2x3D” image is displayed. This basically means that the image displayed can be viewed in both 2D and 3D simultaneously. There are specifications that will need to be met to view the 3D and 2D images on the same “screen though.
The projectors have the two separate images run through a specialized GPU in real-time. The GPU uses a series of advanced algorithms that allow both images to be displayed without having the “double” image that is accompanied with typical 3D imaging. This paired up with color mixing techniques also produced from the projectors’ GPU, the 3D image will appear “invisible” unless viewed through polarized lenses.
This type of “screen sharing” is actually reminiscent of a 3D TV monitor from Sony’s Playstation that allowed two players to play on the same full sized screen without seeing what the 2nd player would see. Through the TV’s “SimulView”, the monitor was able to perform the same basic principles as the Japanese projectors.
