glasses free 3D - multiview - omnisteroscopic

phellow phRIAMers -

I don't know how many others here are interested in 3D capture/distribution/display technology but here is a recent announcement/demo from HP on (yet another) step toward glasses-free multi-view 3D stereo.

http://h30507.www3.hp.com/t5/Innovation-HP-Labs/On-Our-Way-to-Glasses-Free-3D/ba-p/134391

They are doing spatial multiplexing of multiview images, channeled using nanolithographic gratings. Fred and I are doing similar work with holographic optical elements. There's is better, but then so is their budget.

For anyone else here interested in this technology, I've got my fingers in several related pots (omnistereoscopic capture, holographic optical element design/application, multiview/plenoptic/lightfield capture/display). Ping me offline ([hidden email]) if you have an interest/stake in this domain... it gets NDA pretty quickly.

I don't know if Tony Giancola is still on this list, but his early work trying to build a panoramic capture system (his Panamarama Hat) for balloon fiesta helped to send me down this path. Thanks Tony!

My adaptation termed the PizzaPanarama
(early GoPro gratuitously staged in center)

Our own (now off list?) Cyrus Amadi-Moghadim built the Arduino trigger for this rig.
Cyrus is now at NMTech studying engineering.

In case you were thinking that all I ever do is post nonsense to FRIAM.. oh wait... *this* is probably nonsense to 90%! And we are holding 2 Holography Workshops this Friday/Saturday and have one opening on Friday if anyone wants to "roll their own" at Fred's place. Let me know.

Thanks Steve!

Very interested in these sorts of things!

FRIAM should defintely have more of a demo vibe, we have such interesting people and projects out there!

and,

cheers!

Josh-

And this is only the tip of *my* iceberg and I know that *I'm* only the tip of the bigger FRIAM iceberg. For the cosmologists in the crowd, maybe we can coin a 21st century metaphor around dark matter instead?

Re: glasses free 3D - multiview - omnisteroscopic

Especially with the icebergs melting! *Zing*!
...Too soon?

In other news, I went to the holography workshop Steve mentioned and it was great to meet him, Fred & Rebecca, and many other interesting people I"R"L. And now I have a hologram of a skullpture and some knowledge of how it was made / how it works! Definitely a demonstration of how satisfying 'doing' rather than merely (although there was much enjoyable activity concerning this going on too) talking / thinking. So, agreed on the 'demo' aspect (not to be confused with the demoscene, as in pouet.net, though related) being encourageable (as possibly opposed to incorrigable).
