developers release apps.
3D Projection Overview
Martin Parry – Product Division Mgr
3D Background
3 Types of 3D:
– Anaglyph
– Polarised
– Stereoscopic
Anaglyph 3D
• Uses different colour filters to produce two images within one picture.
• Can be Red/Blue, Red/Green, or Red/Cyan• Pros: Cheap glasses, content is easy to create,
technology has been around for decades.• Cons: Quality is poor when compared to other
technologies
Polarised 3D (current technology)
• Image separation achieved by polarizing the light differently. Glasses filter the light so that each eye perceives the different image. Special screen must be used to preserve light polarization (aka “Silver Screen”).
• Pros: Passive glasses are relatively inexpensive• Cons: High set-up cost, projectors must be perfectly aligned with one another, special projection screen needed

Polarizers
Stereoscopic 3D using DLP technology
• Image is generated in a frame sequential format (alternating left & right frames)• Shutter glasses are synchronized with the image and turn on/off with each frame of data• Pros: Image quality is better, hardware cost is less than polarized option• Cons: Glasses cost is higher than passive, limited content at the moment
