Watching movies in 3D is very exciting. However, you will need to have some 3D glasses so that you can enjoy your movies in 3D. These glasses tend to be costly and not so many people can get a chance to experience them. However, here is good news for all movie lovers out there. You do not have to wear glasses to enjoy 3D movies anymore. MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Lab and Computer Science have come up with a movie screen tech that allows people to watch their movies in 3D without having to wear glasses.
This is a great technology milestone that will change your movie experience completely. You will now be looking forward to watching more episodes of your favorite movies thanks to the movie screen technology. The best part is that, the new technology is in a position to make the pictures crispy. The new technology has been dubbed Cinema 3D and it is able to make on-screen images more viewable no matter your location in a movie theater. You no longer have to worry about sitting far from the screen in theaters anymore. With the new technology, you will enjoy your movies regardless of your seat’s location in a theater.
According Wojciech Matusik, a professor at MIT there have been a number of 3D glass-free approaches before. The problem has been that the approaches have been using enormous resolution requirements that have proven to be completely impractical. According to him, the new technology is the first ever technical approach that has successfully allowed 3D glasses-free on large scale. Earlier technologies have not yielded tangible results and therefore, this is a great success.
According to MIT, the 3D glasses-free for Televisions make use of a technology known as parallax barrier. This technology uses a number of slits in an effort to force the eyes of an individual to view different pixels. However, parallax barrier has a challenge with its TV application. The viewer has to sit near the TV screen and has to maintain the distance distinct. This is major blow to the technology and it will not work properly in a movie theater. Due to this reason, CSAIL had to create screens that contained several parallax barriers. This is the only way that could ensure that viewers see similar images at different angles and distances.
The problem is that, users should not expect the 3D Cinema any time soon. However, the developers are working on something to launch in the near future. The working model in the mean time is approximately the size of a modern iPad. In addition, it needs a lot of lenses and mirrors to work effectively. According to Matusik, this approach is yet to prove whether it is financially feasible to make up for a fully blown theater. However, his team has a feeling that this is a crucial stepping stone and in the near future 3D glasses-free will be available for larger spaces such as auditoriums and movie theaters.
If you are one of those people who love watching movies, but don’t like the idea of using glasses for 3D movie experience, you will soon have just that. The up-coming technology will allow you to watch your films in 3D in your local theater without aid from an eyewear. The prototype makes use of several mirrors and lenses to ensure that people watch films in 3D no matter where they are seated in a movie theater. 3D glasses-free is already in existence, but is currently not available to the scale of movie theaters. One thing about Cinema 3D is the fact that, viewers in a movie theater only need to tilt their heads over a small angle range that is limited by their seat’s width. This makes it possible to display narrow angle ranges and replicate them to the entire seats in a movie theater.
Cinema 3D encodes a number of parallax barriers in a single display to allow each individual viewer in the theater to see a parallax barrier perfectly designed to their seating position. Using its special optics system, Cinema 3D replicates the range of views across the entire theater with the aid of lenses and mirrors.
The creators of Cinema 3D exploited the idea of theaters having unique set-ups whereby each viewer has to occupy a fixed position the entire time. Technology analysts have expressed the possibility of future technologies to offer 3D glasses-free versions in theaters. The paper will be presented probably this week at the computer graphics conference SIGGRAPH in Anaheim California.
Conclusion
Everybody loves 3D movies because of their ability to immerse viewers in to new worlds. This allows them to view things and places in better ways they could have otherwise not imagined. However, the goofy glasses associated with 3D experiences are a complete turn-off. Fortunately, this could be replaced by the 3D glasses-free technology, which looks very promising. A recent paper by a MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab and Computer Science team has demonstrated a breathtaking display that allows viewers watch films in 3D in movie theaters without eyewear.
