Alioscopy has announced it will introduce its new 3DHD-40 autostereoscopic (no glasses required) 3D LCD display technology at SIGGRAPH 2008.
The 3DHD-40, developed and manufactured by Alioscopy, features a highly specialized lenticular lens that boasts unmatched quality, clarity and depth. The system also supports real-time capabilities that enable viewers to interact with content for a truly immersive experience. Artists can easily create 3D content with applications such as 3ds Max, Maya, XSI, CINEMA 4D and LightWave 3D and render it out for display on the 3DHD-40. Alioscopy’s 3D display technology was recently honored at InfoComm 2008 with Insight Media’s “Best Buzz” award—a top honor bestowed each year to those products or technologies that were new and exciting and generated the most “buzz” with attendees. (Ed note: This has to be seen to be believed. I saw a prototype in Boston and I could not believe what I was seeing.)
Alioscopy will showcase entertainment-related custom 3D content on its 3DHD-40 at several key third-party SIGGRAPH venues, including training and education areas for Softimage and Autodesk and at the Softimage SIGGRAPH press room as follows:
