(PhysOrg.com) — Critics of 3D viewing may call the technology a passing fad, but if engineers can overcome some of the challenges of today’s 3D systems, 3D TV could work its way into becoming a common household product. There are several different ways to create 3D images on a display, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In one of the latest approaches, researchers from Japan have developed an integral 3D TV system based on the 100-year-old technique of integral photography that uses large numbers of lenses and pixels to transform ordinary photographs into 3D video.

The engineers, from NHK (the Japan Broadcasting Corporation) in Tokyo and JVC Kenwood Holdings, Inc., in Kanagawa, have been developing and improving their integral 3D TV system for the last several years. Their most recent system will be published in an upcoming issue of The Journal of Display Technology.

“The greatest advantage of our system is its suitability for the broadcasting system, i.e., glasses-free display, full-parallax (viewers can enjoy 3D images from any posture) and real-time motion imaging,” Jun Arai of NHK told PhysOrg.com.

The experimental setup for (a) capturing video and (b) displaying video. Both steps involve a large array of convex lenses to generate a 3D effect. Image credit: Arai, et al. (c)2010 IEEE.To record images, a large array of many convex lenses is placed in front of a Super Hi-Vision camera, which records the direction and intensity of light as viewed from slightly different directions. To display the images to a viewer, a Super Hi-Vision projector projects the images onto a diffusion screen, in front of which is an identical convex lens array. This set-up can recreate the direction and intensity of the light that was originally recorded. Since each lens looks slightly different at different viewing angles, the images look slightly different from different directions, giving a 3D impression.In terms of the image characteristics, there is a trade-off in the system in which an increase in the viewing angle results in a decrease in the image resolution. To maximize both characteristics, the researchers explain that it is necessary to shorten the distance between the lens array and the display device, and also narrow the pitch of the lenses, which requires a large number of pixels. Overall, the system uses a total of 7,680 pixels in the horizontal direction and 4,320 pixels in the vertical direction. With these adjustments, the researchers could ensure a viewing angle of 24 degrees and a spatial frequency that is 2.4 times higher than that of their previous system. Arai added that it should be possible to further improve both the viewing angle and image resolution with future research.

3-D movies via Internet and satellite

August 26, 2010

With MVC, the two images needed for the 3-D effect are packed together to reduce the movie’s bit rate.

Multiview video coding (MVC) is the new standard for 3-D movie compression. While reducing the data significantly, MVC allows at the same time providing full high-resolution quality. At the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam from Sept. 10-14, 2010, researchers will showcase how 3-D movies can be transmitted via Internet and digital television channels such as via satellite.

Blockbusters like Avatar, UP or Toy Story 3 will bring the 3-D into home living rooms, televisions and computers. There are already displays available and the new Blu-Ray players can already play 3-dimensional movies based on MVC. The first soccer games were recorded stereoscopically at the Football World Championships in South Africa. What is missing is an efficient form of transmission.

The problem is the data rate required by the movies – in spite of fast Internet and sat-ellite links. 3-D movies have higher data rate requirements than 2-dimensional movies since at least two images are needed for the spatial representation. This means that a 3-D screen has to show two images – one for the left and one for the right eye.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institut, HHI in Berlin, Germany have already come up with a compression technique for movies in particularly HD quality that squeezes movies while maintaining the quality: the H.264/AVC video format. What H.264/AVC is for HD movies, Multiview Video Coding (MVC) is for 3-D movies. The benefit is reducing the data rate used on the transmission channel while maintaining the same high-definition quality.

Videos on the Internet have to load quickly so that the viewer can watch the movies without interruptions. Thomas Schierl is a scientist at the HHI in Berlin and he explains that “MVC packs the two images needed for the stereoscopic 3-D effect so that the bit rate of the movies is significantly reduced.” These 3-D movies are up to 40 percent smaller. Thomas Schierl and his colleagues are working to establish the MVC codec for television transmission over satellites or the Internet. “New TV sets will start off by only playing 3-D movies from the Blu-Ray disc that is now coming into the third dimension. The next step to bring 3-D into living rooms will be made possible via broadcast or IPTV channels running via DSL or cable.”

You will be able to experience 3-dimensional movies in your living room in future without any 3-D glasses because the MVC format has the technical features to code and compress several views. After all, everybody enjoying the movie with you on the sofa has a different viewing angle. That is why they need a separate view – their “own” 3-D movie – for his or her individual seat. MVC compresses all of these views into one compact file or stream and one receiver, one set-top box decodes this information and passes it on to the television.

It will also be possible to play the MVC-coded movies on older televisions and set-top boxes and Thomas Schierl tells us how: »The first view corresponds to the signal that the existing television can receive and we would hide the second view in the same stream so that only the new receivers can use it. They are invisible to older tele-visions.« That is especially interesting to movie lenders and television stations because they do not have to worry about compatibility. And even mobile radio and mobile phone manufacturers can join the trend towards 3-D with the MVC standard. In the meantime, there are even displays the size of a mobile phone that allow a good 3-D impression.

The experts from the HHI show how the MVC-Codec functions transmitting television via DVB-S2 satellite from September 10-14, 2010 at the IBC in Amsterdam.

ASUS G51J 3D – Core i7 1.6 GHz – 15.6″ – 4 GB Ram – 640 GB HDD

The ASUS G51J 3D features ASUS exclusive “Power4 Gear Hybrid” technology, which allows users to boost their system performance with an intuitive user interface for that extra grunt by simply selecting “Extreme Turbo” mode. It also provides other power profiles that empowers users with the ability to adjust their power usage to better suit their prevailing tasks. The ASUS G51J 3D is equipped with an illuminating chiclet keyboard, which intelligently detects its environment for dimmed lighting conditions, and enables gamers to control the brightness of the keyboard to cater to their needs. It provides gamers an added advantage over their opponent, and allows them to continue to dominate even in the dark, such as an all-nighter LAN party environment.

The technology:

• It is a standard laptops with 15.6-inch screens, 4 gigabytes of RAM and 320-GB hard drives — the 3D is what sets them apart.
• The 3D on the Asus is based on technology from Nvidia.  It is known as active battery-powered “shutter” glasses that communicate with a small infrared box that you connect to the computer through USB.
• Basically, 120 times a second, the laptop screen sequentially delivers a different “right” and “left” image. The box emits a signal to the glasses that alternately closes and opens the right and left lens.
• The brain is tricked into viewing 3D. You can wear the sunglass-style spectacles over your regular prescription eyewear. They recharge via USB.
• Nvidia says they’ll last for 40 hours on a single charge. The glasses automatically shut off after 10 minutes of inactivity or if you lose line of sight from the emitter, which I found at times disconcerting.
