NewSight 180-inch 3D Video Wall is first with LEDs


NewSight decided just removing the need for silly glasses wasn't good enough, showing off the first 3D LED-based display. Each LED is arranged at a pitch of 6mm, similar to current LCD 3D technology, so it can display the same content that's been popping up as of late. The 180-inch 3D LED Video Wall is capable of combining with three others to form a 360-inch screen, with a 20,000 hour warranty period on its LEDs and NewSight's digital signage background, we can imagine watching a game or being hounded by eerily-realistic Black Friday ads very soon.

3D HDTV without glasses


3DActually, I'll still have to wear glasses because my eyesight is so poor. I just won't have to wear 3D glasses. Newsight Corporation just demonstrated their real-time 3D HDTV images at the IFA show. No special glasses are required because of the method and technology used.

Utilizing software processing, HD video streams are passed through a converter chip that creates eight stereo views on-the-fly. A proprietary filter is applied so that each of the eight views is projected in eight slightly different directions on an LCD monitor. The human eye detects the different scenes and perceives a three-dimensional view.

According to Newsight, they intend to apply this technology to one of the 2006 World Cup events. I can just imagine people ducking from a soccer ball that will never hit them.
