So, it is quite possible that in a few years many users will use GeForce 3D Vision compatible monitors without any stereoscopic glasses. It’s like with sound controllers that are currently integrated into every mainboard. You may not think about sound when purchasing a mainboard. But when you need to listen to music later on, you will only have to plug your speakers in. And the speaker set maker sells only speakers rather than some “hardware-based music playback system” that would make you upgrade/replace half of your computer.
And finally, the GeForce 3D Vision is compatible not only with monitors but also with TV-sets and even projectors. Although there are few such models available today, the manufacturers will be able to introduce stereo mode support quite easily. 120Hz LCD monitors have been produced for a long while already, and it only takes a small modernization of their electronics. Just imagine a true 3D picture on a 40- or 50-inch screen – what competing technology could match it?
Other aspects of stereoscopy
To be more objective and presentive I’d like to tell in few words about one of CMC departments – Graphics and Media Lab, which is dedicated to all things related to computer graphics, image processing and multimedia.
It has a lot of modern researches, and some of them are connected with stereoscopy.
The basement thing is creating depth mask from standard 2-dimensinal photo, or some photos, or video. It means that new images are generated and they show how far the object is: white object is quite near and black objects are far away. Using this method a lot of possibilities are opened: for example google street view could have 3d model buildings on their map with such a technology. May be in future there will 3D cameras that snapshot as they do it now but then process information and generate 3D models.
Conclusion
All around the world 3D-tecnologies are started to use and I think that development in this way is good idea but as usual the main thing is how all the inventions are used. I’m afraid of oversaturation our environment with a lot of useless information, but possibilities of it are really great. So, I hope that integration of 3D will be quite unpainful and stereoscopy would make our world more convenient and minimalistic.
