The concept of 3D content It is a bit peculiar since, although at the time it enjoyed a tremendous boom in our day to day life, for example with the arrival of televisions, smartphones and even portable consoles, the truth is that today its use is very limited. The best way to enjoy this type of content is in a movie theater and, personally, I think it has a lot to do with the large investment in special cameras, screens and players that all kinds of companies had to do at the time that for the real success of this concept.
One of the main problems that 3D cinema has is the need to use special glasses to be able to enjoy it. One of the problems with these glasses, in addition to the fact that they are usually heavy and uncomfortable, we find in that they usually dull the image and in some people it even causes headaches or eye pain. To try to solve all these problems, and even get this kind of content to reach our homes again, in the MIT have been working on a project in which power has been sought view 3D content without wearing glasses Special.
MIT devises how to view 3D content without the need for special glasses.
This new project has been carried out specifically by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in collaboration with Israel Weiszmann Institute of Science. After a long time of development and research, it has been possible to develop a new 3D display technology adapted, in principle, to movie theater environments. This new technology would offer a type of visualization similar to that offered by the Nintendo 3DS although, instead of being adapted to individual use as in the case of the well-known console, it is intended for a much larger audience.
As explained from MIT, this technology is based on the use of lenses and mirrors capable of creating a specific number of parallelation barriers. This makes it possible to configure the direction towards each of the seats in a cinema and thus the viewer can enjoy the content without using those annoying glasses. A negative point of this technology is that a complex configuration will need to be developed since the image will have to be adjusted to each of the seats.
On the other hand, it is necessary to take into account something as simple as that this technology is designed only for movie theaters since it is known in advance where each of the spectators will sit and their margin of movement will be minimal, something that makes , for now, cannot be implemented in a home where the location of the screen and the distance between the seats, the viewing angle or the position of the spectators is unknown.
