Three dimensional TV
is expected to be the next revolution in the TV history. They implemented a 3D
TV prototype system with real-time acquisition transmission, & 3D display
of dynamic scenes. They developed a distributed scalable architecture to manage
the high computation & bandwidth demands. 3D display shows high-resolution
stereoscopic color images for multiple viewpoints without special glasses. This
is first real time end-to-end 3D TV system with enough views & resolution
to provide a truly immersive 3D experience.Japan plans to make this futuristic
television a commercial reality by 2020as part of abroad national project that
will bring together researchers from the government, technology companies and
academia. The targeted "virtual reality" television would allow
people to view high definitionimages in 3D from any angle, in addition to being
able to touch and smell the objects being projected upwards from a screen to
the floor.

Why
3D TV
The evolution of
visual media such as cinema and television is one of the major hallmarks of our
modern civilization. In many ways, these visual media now define our modern
life style. Many of us are curious: what is our life style going to be in a few
years? What kind of films and television are we going to see? Although cinema
and television both evolved over decades, there were stages, which, in fact,
were once seen as revolutions:
1) At first, films
were silent, then sound was added;
2) Cinema and
television were initially black-and-white, then color was introduced;
3) Computer imaging
and digital special effects have been the latest major novelty.
Most of the key ideas
for 3D TV systems presented in this paper have been known for decade, such as
lenticular screens, multi projector 3D displays, and camera array for
acquisition. This system is the first to provide enough view points and enough
pixels per view points to produce an immersive and convincing 3D experience.
Another area of future research is to improve the optical characteristic of the
3D display computationally. This concept is computational display. Another area
of future research is precise color reproduction of natural scenes on multiview
display.
