Symon Communications Launches a Different Approach to 3D
Plano, TX (PRWEB) February 23, 2010
Symon Communications, a global provider of visual communication and digital signage solutions, announced today that it will be showing its Symon LiveView display at the Digital Signage Expo tradeshow and conference in Las Vegas, NV on February 24th and 25th.
Symon LiveView, is a virtual 3D display that uses patented optical technology to present digital content in very eye-catching and life-like fashion without the need for 3D glasses or special production equipment. Because of its design, Symon LiveView’s content creation costs are much lower than traditional 3D technologies and in most cases are equal to the cost of 2D content production. Symon LiveView customers need only have Symon’s Design Studio software and industry-standard content creation tools to create a very compelling 3D experience out of 2D content.
Symon LiveView is targeted at any consumer-facing industry that wants to have their message stand out and be noticed. The hospitality, gaming and retail industries are prime candidates for Symon LiveView as each industry has special messages or products that, if noticed, can generate significant revenue. Steve Gurley, Symon’s Vice President of Marketing, put it this way: “Imagine a jewelry retailer who has an expensive diamond setting that they want noticed. With Symon LiveView, the setting would appear to almost jump out of the screen. I believe that the uniqueness of this experience alone would be enough to entice the retailer’s customer to request to see the real product.”
Symon LiveView works by presenting two-dimensional (2D) content on a high-brightness, high-definition LCD monitor. It then uses a special beam-splitting glass that is positioned in front of the monitor to reflect a décor-specific pattern that is installed in a customizable fixture that is situated above the viewer’s head. The reflection of the pattern on the beam-splitting glass creates the perception of depth and makes the 2D content look almost alive. By using this approach, Symon takes advantage of an optical illusion to create a virtual 3D experience out of ordinary 2D content.
Symon LiveView can be purchased with an optional touch screen display that can be attached to the front of the LiveView display. This screen, if installed, allows viewers to choose or interact with the content that is presented on the LiveView screen. The content for both screens and the interactive elements on the touch screen are all designed and controlled by Symon’s Enterprise Suite of software products.
Symon LiveView display can also be purchased with an optional stand. This stand can be built with finishes to accommodate and complement almost any décor.
According to Charles Ansley, Symon’s President and CEO, “Symon LiveView is one of those inventions that is so straight-forward in its design and so elegant in its implementation that once you see it you’ll likely say to yourself: “WOW! I want one of those! This is also one of those inventions that will allow our customers to deliver a very engaging experience without the inconvenience and high content creation costs normally associated with tradition 3D displays.” Mr. Ansley went on to say, “I am convinced that the ease of creating content will make the total cost of ownership of Symon LiveView far less with than that of other 3D technologies.”
Volume shipments of the Symon LiveView display and its optional stand will begin in April, 2010.

Neochroma Launches Surreal 3D Stereo Video Gallery Online
A normal desktop PC can act as a stereo camera into mathematical space and show a beautiful world that exists alongside our own. The objects that you can see there follow the geometry of nature, and the human brain recognizes some of the patterns it sees. At the same time, these objects – called fractal flames – are abstract and do not directly match anything we know from the material world.
Since the release of a free and Open Source software called Apophysis in a 3D-capable version, flames can be rendered as a stereoscopic video. The camera can be moved freely around and into the flame, which seems to become alive while some of its parameters are updated over time.
The Neochroma gallery was started by Patrick Amaru in 2009 and has now opened on the web – not just to share the clips, but to inspire those who want to create their own stereo flame videos.
On Neochroma.com plenty of references to tutorials, software, mathematical background and other galleries are listed. The linked resources introduce interested viewers to the art and science of creating and rendering flames.
Creating a fractal is an intuitive process that does not require a background in mathematics to get started. Instead, fast feedback motivates exploration and results in stunning images that evolve through further exploration and refinement. With practice comes a better understanding of the process and more artistic control.
The short clips seen in the Neochroma Gallery can be downloaded or streamed for free; large prints of the pictures are available for purchase. Pictures and clips can be embedded and shown on other websites for free, if a back link is provided to Neochroma.com. TV professionals can download short 2D, 1920x1080x24p clips for free if they get in touch via the contact page.

INOZON Launches the First Search Engine in 3D
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 24, 2005
Using advanced 3D technology, INOZON enables its users to search the Internet for products and information in a highly interactive and dynamic environment. The 3D platform, familiar to videogame players, is an innovative breakthrough in the search arena, giving INOZON a distinct advantage over its competitors.
3D technology enables INOZON to generate a block of results (usually 100 to 130 results) in a smaller file size than its competitorÂ?s 10 results per page. INOZON places search results inside the 3D world, whether continuing a search or starting a new search query. Searchers can freely navigate INOZON with its user-friendly interface. When viewing results, they can move in multiple directions and quickly retrieve information from multiple search arenas Â? shopping networks, paid listing networks, directories, the webÂ? all without exiting the environment.
Advertisers benefit from the 3D nature of INOZON by displaying 3D models of their products showing product details that can only be gauged by 3D examination. A multitude of advertisers can have unlimited voice advertisements played at selected locations in INOZON without interfering with each other.
Ashkan Bashy, founder of INOZON, saw an untapped need for a faster and more exciting search engine. Â?Searching for information has become a part of our daily life, and yet the full power of our computers and the Internet was not being harnessed by todayÂ?s search engines. With decreases in the cost of computing and increases in processing power and high-speed Internet access, INOZON is harnessing these new capabilities to revolutionize the search industry.Â?
He adds, Â?Study after study confirms that a high percentage of searchers do not look beyond the top five search results – not because the very first five results are the most relevant but because they become uninterested or they do not want to go through the inconvenience of loading up the next pagesÂ?.
To access the site, users are prompted upon their initial visit only to download a plug-in (BSContact VRML/X3D, 1 MB) that brings them to the gateway of a 3-dimensional world. Once inside, visitors may search directories, paid listing networks, shopping areas or the worldwide web.
About INOZON
INOZON Inc. is the first developer and provider of online services to consumers and businesses in a 3D environment. The company is dedicated to maximizing PC capabilities to provide solutions that connect merchants and consumers via highly interactive and cutting edge technology.

Piranha Advertising Inc Launches Its Newest 42 Inch Screen 3D Technology
Lauderhill, FL (PRWEB) January 6, 2005
Following the recent introductions of the Piranha 3DÂ? and the Piranha Depth 3DÂ?, Piranha Advertising Inc (PAI) continues to stretch the boundaries of 3D technology with today’s debut of its first widescreen, high-resolution, 42-inch true 3D flat panel Â?Piranha MAX 3DÂ?Â? (PM3DÂ?).
Piranha’s new Max 3D, with integrated NTSC tuner and stereo speakers, feature ultra slim cabinetry and a chic, frame-like design, making them picture-perfect for viewing in high traffic areas, such as stadiums, shopping centers and exhibition halls. The PM3DÂ? system, projects 3D images about 3 and a half to 4 feet away from the screen, giving the viewer a true 3D experience without the silly glasses.
“Piranha’s plasma 3D products represent the future of display technology for the broadcast and Advertising industry and are extremely effective for users seeking video and computer 3D animated display solutions in a light-weight, space-saving format,” said Steve McLean, COO for Piranha Advertising Inc. “Our products offer a virtually limitless number of opportunities for Advertisers seeking new and more effective marketing solutions.”
The new flat-panel PM3D utilizes a pixel-by-pixel conversion system, resulting in precise, detailed images regardless of the video source. This exclusive technology automatically identifies the characteristics (film, video, mpeg etc) and resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i) of the video content and instantly reproduces accurate, sharp 3D images. Proving that not all 3D screens are created equal, the new sets display crisp, stable picture images without video noise even when connected with non-HD video sources.
In addition, with Piranha’s 3D Conversion SystemÂ? technology, the sets deliver an outstanding 3D cinematic viewing experience by automatically detecting and minimizing motion artifacts caused when 24 frame-per-second films is transferred to 30 frame-per-second video.
“We are pleased to bring such an advanced, professional quality product to the consumer market,” said Gia Pino, vice president of marketing for Piranha Advertising Inc. “We were already planning on installing about 30 of the PM3DÂ?s in malls and shopping centers we have contracted across the United States by mid 2005Â? said Pino Â?but thanks to the extremely positive response we have received from advertisers, we expect to easily triple this number by the end of the yearÂ?.
Additional benefits of the PM3D� include built-in speakers with Bose� Acoustissmass® entertainment Speakers System, a 3D audio effect that deliver plenty of audio. (PAI) will start installing PM3D�s across the US beginning March 15th 2005.

Magnetic Launches No-Glasses 3D LCD Products for Europe at Screen Expo London
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 2, 2009
Magnetic Media Holdings, Inc., an end-to-end provider of 3D Digital Media products, 3D Displays and services announced today the official launch of its Enabl3D™ 3D LCD (no-glasses 3D) products in Europe at the Screen Expo London (April 7/8 at booth C21, Olympia Hall).
“Last week’s news that Philips’ 3D solutions would be winding down its 3D operation was certainly a blow to consumer introduction of 3DTV technology and we agree with Philips’ thinking when it comes to the at-home use of auto-stereo 3D,” says Magnetic’s Co-Founder and President, James Zahakos. “However, the use of auto-stereoscopic displays for digital signage, advertising, B2B, OEM and soon CAD applications presents an attractive opportunity that is catching like wildfire in the US and abroad. Magnetic’s 3D LCD business has never been better.”
Magnetic’s operation is seeing significant growth as more and more companies are reaping the benefits of deploying Enabl3D™ LCD technology for Digital Signage and Out-of-Home Media instead of standard 2D. Enabl3D™ Technology differs from Philips’ “WoWvx” in that it provides a True 3D experience with content that virtually “pops” off the screen–as opposed to Philips’ at-home standard of “2D Plus Depth.” Magnetic’s entire 3D solution has also been built strategically for commercial purposes providing the ability for digital signage networks to upgrade and incorporate 3D into its offering. Magnetic will continue to offer software allowing the conversion of 2D to 3D content.
Javier O. Ruiz, Magnetic’s Chief Marketing Officer stated that, “Early on we identified the consumer market as quite a big undertaking for any single company to usher in, especially coupled with the need for broadcasters to again adopt new formats. So we focused our efforts heavily on creating a solution that would address the needs of commercial and industrial LCD market. Now with our main competitors’ announcement, that has proved to be a wise and fruitful decision.” Ruiz continued, “The 3D market is expanding like never before. Thanks needs to be paid to entertainment moguls, such as DreamWorks’ chief Jeffery Katzenberg and ‘Titanic’ director James Cameron, for pushing 3D front and center. Now with the phenomenal success of ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’, we are going to see a whole new era of 3D emerging the global markets.”
Magnetic’s 3D LCD technology is backwards compatible in that it can play both standard and high definition 2D content with little to no loss of resolution of mesmerizing 3D content. All of which can be remotely managed using robust tools that deliver video over a network to a virtually limitless number of displays. Live 2D and 3D can even be incorporated on the fly and this turnkey software package can be integrated with nearly all windows-based digital signage management software platforms using Active X control.
“Magnetic’s technology has been aimed, and for several years to come, will be aimed at delivering complete solutions to the commercial signage market,” says Magnetic’s Co-Founder and CEO, Tom Zerega. “The consumer market is definitely not going anywhere although the runway for 3DTV in the home might be longer given the economic climate. The right timing and the right product are key to enter this space and when that time comes Magnetic will be poised to capture its share of the market. In the meantime,” Zerega continued, “Magnetic has a high regard for the capital and time invested by the Philips distributors and resellers and does not want to see their pioneering efforts lost. Therefore, Magnetic is offering free technical support and “welcome” discounts on its products to any Philips distributors and resellers that contact us to ensure that their Company and the 3D industry as whole continue to grow.”
ABOUT MAGNETIC MEDIA HOLDINGS: Headquartered in New York City, Magnetic is an end-to-end solution provider of 3D Digital Media products and services. The Company has developed a technology that modifies standard manufacturers LCD’s displays, enabling them to display 3D video content which can be viewed without the aid of any special eyewear.
