We do not recall seeing Stream TV’s Elocity 3T autostereoscopic 3D TV on shelves after our CES demo last year , but to be fair, we do not get out much. To not worry however, because the company could be back at CES 2012, this time touting Ultra-D “next generation 3D without glasses display technology” that it claims will surpass all 3D experiences to this point. Lofty claims, but additionally it is banking on its tech for realtime 2D-to-3D conversion of any video content, with plans for the emblem to achieve TVs, converter boxes, tablets, PCs and more. Investigate the clicking release after the break to drink in additional hype, we’ll be in line to peer what’s real at its press conference January 9th.
Proprietary Ultra-D technology surpasses all available 3D viewing experiences
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Stream TV Networks, Inc. announced today that it’ll unveil its new Ultra-D technology at CES 2012. Ultra-D is a next generation 3D without glasses display technology that surpasses all 3D viewing experiences offered up to now.
Developed by Stream TV Networks, Inc., the producer of the eLocity brand of mobile tablets launched first in 2010, the Ultra-D technology is exactly proprietary and leverages custom hardware, middleware techniques and software algorithms to create unprecedentedautostereoscopic 3D imagery. This technology will provide consumers with access tounlimited 3D content by enabling real-time conversion of:
2D content into 3D autostereoscopic (without glasses)
3D stereoscopic content (with glasses) to 3D autostereoscopic (without glasses)
The Ultra-D technology thus supports the immediate adoption of 3D consumer hardware despite limited availability of 3D content. Real-time conversion of 2D to 3D and 3D with glasses to 3D without glasses works seamlessly with various content formats including Blu-ray, DVD, PC gaming, Internet, cable and satellite content.
Another key differentiator of the Ultra-D technology enables customization of the 3D effect to deal with individual differences in spatial perception and the varying impact of 3D rendering on viewer comfort. The technology allows users to extend or decrease the important-time 3D rendering effect, adjusting for variance in content quality and source in addition to personal preference in order that consumers can use all Ultra-D products to realize the optimal 3D picture each time.
“We’re extremely happy with what we’ve got been capable of accomplish with our Ultra-D technology. It truly is able to making a significant shift within the way people view media, similar to the transition from black and white to paint TV,” said Mathu Rajan, CEO of Stream TV Networks, Inc. “Our ultimate goal was to create an answer that addresses existing concerns impeding the adoption of 3D-consumer aversion to expensive glasses, viewer discomfort, variance in individual vision and preference and the slow creation of 3D content. It seemed we were aiming for the impossible but we’ve made it possible and can be sharing these hard-won achievements with consumers in 2012. Ultra-D is a higher generation 3D technology designed to exchange 3D with glasses and win preference over 2D devices.”
