3D viewing is developed long, long time and have a pretty long history. Actually, the basic theory on the production are similar as before. But there is huge difference in nowadays applied media with the old day’s media, like only in printing and filming. Right now, it is implied to TV broadcasting, mobile devices, games, signage, kiosk, laptop computers, professional designs(still and motion)……..etc. So they need some new products to fit in these applications. And in a long run , we need an extra pair of 3D glass to help us to achieve the 3D effect. Nowadays, we having some no-glass 3D instrument to help us to enjoy this amazing effect. It is called the “Auto-stereoscopy“.
Auto-stereoscopy can be achieve in two ways. One is Parallel Barrier- it is limited by number of views it was produced on the view source. Quality is the good and major applied in the larger size monitor. Goof for TV broadcasting . And the Spatial View is one of the pioneer in this field. they have the products like the multi viewers display. Other is the Lenticular Overlay- pixels are magnified in different directions to get the effect.in order to to utilize eye tracking to improve the image quality and accuracy. They have no problem on the limitation of the number of view to produce in the media source . And the brightness is better, since they base on the light refraction to achieve the effect , so almost no light loss. But they have the limitation on the size of the lens which applied over the media. so usually they have the application on the smaller items, like the mobile device, iPhone, small laptop. Spatial View have the products like Mobile 3D.
Productions on the Auto-stereoscopic display are still similar, like shooting by arrange 2 camera side by side , Lorea 3D lenses on SLR camera, taking 2 pic separately with a similar angle, or the modern way, 3DeeCamera- a software which is developed by Spatial View and specially working on the iPhone. It make the production much easy, affordable, and it can be integrated to the daily used machine. It is an brill ant example on the application and marketing.
Besides on the display shooting production. Spatial View covered the post-production too. They have developed several plug in (SVI) for the professional designer in the post-production, like Flash, After Effect, 3Dmax, Maya and the Cinama4D. It is very helpful for these products to grow, encourage the designers and the animators produce more quality display source to reach a win-win situation. They even provide a free download on some of the plug-ins.
The 3D game business is another growing fast category, they have over 30 popular games support their products. Why it is so successful? They provide their own “Driver Shim” bridge video drive and the games. For the mobile games – they support by an view SDK. Since Spatial View is so clever to cover and support the most modern and updated media. Great success is sure!
Today’s Multimedia Pioneer lesson, we have our guest speaker, James Hurley who if form Spatial View. So I have chance to try the products on the iPhone and the laptop. It is amazing good and handy to achieve the 3D effect. But I don’t know whether I can longtime continuously watching. This is what I doubt. And for all the 3D guru or enthausiastors, you can get more information in productions and the tricks with the Spatial View porducts from this site, 3dbarn.com.
Technology doesn’t to be brand new, how to adapte the changes and how to smartly applied to the selective field to develop and support the productions are the keys to success in nowadays multimedia industry.
