Alioscopy USA, a 3D visualization technology provider, demonstrated during NAB 2009 finished auto-stereoscopic 3D content
playing on its LCD display. The company also provided information on how artists
and technical directors (TDs) can use Autodesk 3ds Max software (with
planned future support for Autodesk Maya and Autodesk Softimage
software) and Autodesk Toxik software to help create and composite
auto-stereoscopic 3D animated content for playback on Alioscopy LCD
displays.
Alioscopy delivers "no-glasses" auto-stereoscopic 3D display
technology. The company is building a community of 3D artists to learn
and master the techniques of creating Alioscopy-ready templates and
content for playback on Alioscopy LCD displays fitted with a
proprietary lenticular lens.
Industries well suited to
Alioscopy digital signage display solutions include: retail,
hospitality, medical visualization, serious games and 3D games, casinos
and gaming, theater lobbies, trade shows and exhibitions, concerts, and
events.
At NAB, Alioscopy demonstrated how artists can create
scripts and expressions for their 3D content and perform the necessary
Red-Green-Blue (RGB) sub-pixel separation that corresponds to the
Alioscopy 8-view interleaving process--resulting in the Alioscopy
auto-stereoscopic 3D "no-glasses" effect. Using certain Autodesk 3D
software and Toxik, 3D artists can streamline workflow by not having to
go into-and-out of multiple applications to complete the 8-view mixing
process.
Alioscopy recently won the DailyDOOH “Best In Show
Award “ from Media Expo Europe, given to products and technologies that
represent the most innovative product, the most thought-provoking
solution, or something that caught the judges’ eyes and inspired or
excited them. Judged among five other auto-stereoscopic 3D solutions,
Alioscopy won for its headache-free display that gave the most crisp
and clear image.
