  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

3D... SONY, SAMSUNG AND PANASONIC ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG...

Active glasses doesn't have life but they are the main bet for companies like Sony, Panasonic to make money by selling glasses whereas Passive glasses are merely zero cost. So big organizations always want to make money and for that they invent technology.

I hope what you will offer is useful for home cinema too. I have a JVC RS20 and am more or less happy with it, but it does not do 3D, has a motion issue and is lamp driven. The latter I find less and less acceptable for new projectors. I'm fed up with quick loss of brightness and changing spectra of lamps. Images get too dark quickly and the projector needs frequent calibration or the color temperature will drift considerably and with it gamma and color accuracy. Whatever you offer, I hope it's bright enough for 3D, not lamp based and with very good contrast like the JVCs.

The future is NOT active glasses. That is preposterous. Simply incredibly stupid.

The "consortium" announced that active glasses are in our future. Not. Samsung, Panasonic and Sony.

Watch here for what the future really looks like.

Trust me on this one. They have lost their minds... really. I'll bet my lifelong reputation on it.

Oh no... I've heard you speak like that before! And we all know the result.

You say that as if it's some kind of insidious, corporate evil plan. Every business exists to make money. Even Red.

Hi Jim ,

From of your Philosophy change thread

From now on it will only be "Here is is and we are ready to ship".

So if it is something on RED 3D projection then we can ask when are you shipping...unless it is some other info...

Active glasses are the future, they say. But by future Sony, Panasonic & co. mean the next 3-5 years until they can produce low-cost, high image quality AS3D displays. Active glasses is what these CE companies will push until they have something better to offer. Is that news? For someone who's been writing about consumer electronics for a living since mid-1980s it certainly is not.

Glassless 3D is the future. But it's not the near future. We'd better hope Toshiba's 55-inch ZL2 AS3D display, available this year, is not the future because its 3D images look absolutely dreadful. Either panel resolution has to increase dramatically or manufacturers need to limit the number of viewpoints severely. Otherwise we'll all be looking at 3D at the resolution of VHS.

When RED's 3D projector appears in RED store in 2015, I will certainly be interested in a closer look.
 
The (palpable) anticipation is killing me (and I'm not being sarcastic…). Find an appropriate distraction and pretend that this not important.

Dum de dum de dum,... pull the DSL out of the wall, go to a remote location without Wif-Fi or something…

The problem with the original Z-screen on a monitor was that there was a lot of internal reflection, and the circular polarization seems to give rise to a bit more cross talk than other methods. I.e. it always seemed soft and dark. BUT…with this new full res active/passive Samsung Real-D flat panel offering, I guess as all the layers are in intimate contact and the monitor purportedly runs at 240HZ so this will be a much more “solid” 3d image.

Eric, was re-editing some of my previouse posts to remove some of the fun stuff, and noticed thus again.

The solution to significant improvements in the z technology could be easy. To improve the z technology, contact or optical coatings to reduce some of the reflection, but also narrow the frequencies. Reducing the internal structures harmful interactions with those frequencies. Simply redesigning the internal structure to reduce interactions in general might be one thing they have been spending time on I imagine, but more complex. Both these are relatively unnessacay, at a light emission hit, if you use narrow or single, frequencys of light then a filter to let only those frequencies through at the other end you filter out the internal reflection, and use calculation points, cuves, matrixs or calculatons to adjust the brightness of each pixel to compensate for the loss in light to the other end. From my memory, If it has not been patented by somebody else allready, now it has been discussed here it can't be effectively patented by others as it would be on prior art.

There are probably ways to get rid of the narrow sweet spot in conventional autosteteoscoptic displays in my thinking, but I would have to do messuments to confirm (I do not have full mental modeling functions, I'm not any where near Tesla). My original autostereo design concept simplistic attempt was in the 1980s I think and could be viewed sideways, why I'm excited about the Toshiba auto technology a few years ago. Most of this stuff is conceptual childs play. The ultimate 3D compression technology I was thinking about in the mid 80's I have finally methoded (new term, what a person must do well with an idea for it to approach maximal value. Fun having my health turn up :) ) in recent years, almost by accident, we are talking about possibly ten thousands to one on extremely big and wide (new) data sets. Which is why I am watching for future RR with interest, even though it is low performing, if it performs aswell as expected, it might be an amazing first step.

Sorry I didn't answer before, but I ussually don't make comments that are too close to the bone of what I could really do. So I ussually strategically way up what I tell people, as to the consequences.


Thanks

Wayne.
 
Jim, is this related to a soon to be released Apple glassless projector working through a special screen, or the Kodak projector. It is amazing, but I ran into a salesman that reckons this is what he was following. Hats off to Apple if this is what they have figured out, it is an idea I was keeping, but was pursuing a different avenue. Laser or cheap, or nothing (presumably sorry Sony) I don't want to have to upgrade for the life of the projector, a Laser projector with autostereoscoptic screen can deliver high enough quality not to need to upgrade. I have looked into designing this, if you want to see if it canbe made different, I would love to have a look over your released design. This whole thing of lag in tracking is overcomable, it is a matter of convient computer power to parrallel track at high frame rates. Feeding it all through a PC might be a chore (Macs included).
 
Sony just announced today the release of a consumer home theater 4k projector. the spec only says 2000 lumin though. Let's hope Red will kill this at a price point under $40,000.00.

Its actually going to be available in Jan 2012 for $ 25000,- USD

I love the effect RED is having on SONY... Now their latest online ads say "4K is just the beginning" - about a time they finally got it...

:devil:
 
It should have been out by now for a lot less.
