3D Dislplays With Glasses

Our two eyes see two different images and this produces the 3D perception of depth. Two images are produced in the display and we have to wear glasses to see 3D image getting different images for two eyes. Active-shutter glasses are actually small LCD screens that alternately dim the left and right "lenses" in succession. They rely on an infrared signal emitter in the TV that tells each pair of glasses when they should dim each lens, so each eye can see the image intended for it. Since active-shutter glasses are fairly complicated electronics, they're pricey: A typical pair usually runs about $150. They depend on batteries to keep running Continued ..

. 3D Dislplays With Glasses

Passive 3D glasses, on the other hand, are sort of like a pair of specially designed polarized sunglasses. Polarized 3D glasses block different kinds of light from each eye, creating the illusion of depth. That means you don't need any kind of expensive, delicate electronics in the glasses themselves, nor do you need a proprietary infrared emitter to sync with the glasses-but since each lens is blocking out light, you're technically not getting a full 1080p image for each eye, though your brain should be perceiving a 1080p image when it puts the two together.

3D Dislplays Without Glasses(Autosetreoscopic)

Among various display technologies , autostereoscopic displays such as volumetric, lenticular, parallax barrier, integral photography, and hologram displays, present a 3D image to a viewer without wearing glasses or other aids. Autostereoscopic systems display many different view images in time or spatially. Among them, lenticular display is easily manufacturable, provides high brightness, and generates multiple views. In the lenticular display, the LCD pixel array is located at the focal plane of a lenticular sheet. Lenticules are tiny lenses on the base side of a special film. Lenticules refract the lights from LCD pixel array, and make different images observed depending on the viewers eye position. Since the images viewed from left and right eyes are different, we may generate stereoscopic information or 3D image display. It interlaces two images. it depends upon the audience being in a sweet spot to get the 3-D effect. Continued ..

.. 3D Dislplays Without Glasses

A parallax barrier is a device placed in front of an image source, such as a liquid crystal display, to allow it to show a stereoscopic image or multiscopic image without the need for the viewer to wear 3D glasses. Placed in front of the normal LCD, it consists of a layer of material with a series of precision slits, allowing each eye to see a different set of pixels, so creating a sense of depth through parallax. A disadvantage of the technology is that the viewer must be positioned in a well-defined spot to experience the 3D effect. Another disadvantage is that the effective horizontal pixel count viewable for each eye is reduced by one half.

Computer Graphics
Vector Images

Enlarging a bitmap image simply enlarges the individual dots of color. The result is bigger, chunkier dots, with no additional detail.

When a vector image is enlarged, it is re-drawn at a higher resolution, displaying as much detail as possible from the original image.
