Computer Laboratory: Stereoscopic 3D Displays

University of Cambridge | Computer Laboratory
  Neil Dodgson, Christian Richardt, Melinos Averkiou:
"The current stereoscopic research focuses on non-photorealistic rendering of stereoscopic video (Richardt) and 3D interaction with 3D models (Averkiou). The latter uses our DepthQ stereoscopic projector and Vicon motion capture system."
 "The Cambridge autostereo display project (1989–1998) was a collaboration between the Department of Engineering, the Computer Laboratory and a number of commercial organisations. 
It produced several displays based on technology which produces true stereoscopic imagery without the need for any special glasses or other headgear. 
The Rainbow Group at the Computer Laboratory produced the computer interfaces to the display, wrote demonstration software, designed a camera system to provide live 3D video input, and analysed the mechanism by which the display works. 
The Laboratory has published around twenty papers on various aspects of the display..."

"Two of the second generation model of the Cambridge autostereo display, developed in the early 1990s. On the left is a colour 10″ screen diagonal model, showing a live video image which is being captured by the array of cameras at the top of the picture. John Moore can be seen on the display's screen, taking the photograph. On the right is the prototype 25″ model, displaying a greyscale image of an organic molecule. In front of this is a Logitech 3D mouse. Between the two displays is a PC, containing an off-the-shelf graphics card (from Datapath), used to generate images for the displays. The photograph was taken in August 1995."

"The display on left and the camera system were still operational in February 2010, a tribute to the engineering genius of John Moore."

    There are many different types of toner dependent on their use and in what equipment, so a high speed copier, where the print has to set (or dry) very quickly will use a different carbon black/polymer mix from the mix used in a much slower office printer.
