3D TV Development Process Started in the Nineties
In the world of science, researchers are always looking to the future. While consumers are still scratching their heads and trying to decide which high-definition television (HDTV) to buy for their home theatres, researchers in laboratories around the world are already working to develop technologies that would surpass HDTV.
What will be the next step in the evolution of television? While there are labs in Japan that are working on super high-definition displays, the next true milestone is expected to be much more significant than simply improving image sharpness and color. Researchers believe the next coup in the advancement of television will involve the addition of a third dimension. This monumental step can be likened to the addition of color to black-and-white television displays. In the future, stereoscopic or three-dimensional (3D-TV) displays will allow viewers to immerse themselves inside a world of objects that are separated in depth, far beyond the screen’s surface. Best of all, you won’t need those restrictive red and blue glasses that our parents or grandparents wore to enjoy 3D in the movie theatre.
Research into 3D-TV has been underway since the mid 90s. Initial research projects addressed the important issue of determining the perceptual benefits that 3D would bring. More recently, the focus has shifted to human visual characteristics that could be exploited for applications in video coding, transmission, storage and display of 3D program material.
