| 28th September - NTT DoCoMo, Inc. announced today that it
has co-developed a portable, seven-inch 3D display system with
Associate Professor Yasuhiro Takagi of Tokyo University of Agriculture
and Technology. Both still images and video can be viewed in
3D without special glasses, and unlike similar displays, the
images are visible off-center vertically, as well as horizontally.
The system, which enables 3D images to be viewed within a
60-degree horizontal angle and 30-degree vertical angle, generates
the images based on the viewer's position relative to the
screen. Using a camera embedded in the display's LCD screen,
the system determines where the viewer is and immediately
projects 3D images through a lenticular (single-convex) lens
attached to the front of the screen. This results in the viewer
seeing an object that appears to leap out from the screen.
DoCoMo, which hopes to put the system to practical use for
dynamic, highly realistic games and mobile Internet shopping,
will exhibit the system at its booth at CEATEC JAPAN 2006
from October 3 to 7.
Different 3D images are generated depending
on the viewer’s position relative to the screen. The system
enables the image to be viewed within a 60-degree horizontal
angle and 30-degree vertical angle.
