IEE brings glasses-free 3D to the battlefield

In a war zone, having the suitable data is as important because the right bomb sniffing laser. IEE has melded its 4.8-inch 800 x 400 military data display with 3Ms autostereoscopic film so soldiers can see mission-critical data in three dimensions. The Preliminary Advanced Information device is designed to turn accurate terrain maps, relay the image from a drone camera or raise the occasional blast of Monday Night Football .

New 3D Handheld Display from IEE Integrates 3M’s Autostereoscopic Technology

High-resolution display reduces off-axis image reversal, color distortions

AUSA Annual Meeting, Washington, DC – October 2011 – IEE, Inc., that specialize in the design, test support and fielding of human system interface (HSI) display technologies in a variety of military/aerospace, industrial and retail applications, has integrated 3M’s revolutionary 3D film, which requires no 3D glasses, into its field-proven, military-qualified handheld 4.8″ control display unit (CDU).

a detailed cooperation between IEE and 3M is facilitating the event of the 3D display for custom applications. Initially developed to be used in terrain mapping, remote robotics control and enhanced video feeds, the brand new 3D display is making its way in virtually all rugged, military display applications from remote observation to training environments.

Besides the 3D functionality, key design elements are the unit’s small size and LED backlight technology that gives a low power, portable device with an improved resolution than other displays using 3D technology. The brand new 4.8″ display decreases off-axis image reversals and color distortions, a typical concern inside the use of 3D technologies, and will easily be switched to 2D with imagery corresponding to modern-day smart phones.

The display includes a resolution of 800 x 480 x RGB with a normal brightness of 200 cd/m2in both 2D and 3D modes with an optimum viewing distance of 16″. External dimension are 3.45″ x 5.98″ x 1.22″.

A system integration development (SID) kit that enables developers to work with the 3D display technologies and related software can be available for presidency agencies and prime contractors in first quarter 2012. Technology demonstrations can be found now, with units scheduled to ship in second quarter 2012.
