Mobile Devices — The Next Wave of 3D Display

The deployment of stereoscopic 3D digital cinema has been followed closely by 3D televisions for the home. The next 3D display type expected to become widely available are autostereoscopic mobile phones and tablet devices that provide 3D viewing without glasses. This presentation explains how these autostereoscopic devices work and describes the display factors that provide for a high quality glasses free 3D viewing experience. — Specific content preparation and processing is required in order to adapt film and television content to meet the unique requirements of these autostereoscopic displays. Distribution through wireless and broadcast methods is presenting the industry with new standards and formatting issues to be solved as these 3D devices enter the consumer marketplace. Considerations and progress in mobile device 3D content preparation and distribution will be addressed.
