SuperD Announces The First 3D Livecast System At MWC 2016
Can you imagine chatting with someone online in 3D? Or watching a live football match or live concert in real-time 3D? This is about to be possible with SuperD’s new technology—a mobile 3D Livecast System. SuperD’s first glasses-free 3D live cast system is being demoed at MWCthrough cooperation between the SuperD, an award winning glasses-free 3D technology provider, and its partner.
This function will be applied through next generation mobile broadband technology to enable 3D data processing and transmission. Live 3D streaming will spread over mobile networks enabling users to watch live high-definition 3D images on tablets, smartphones or any other devices that implement the SuperD real-time 3D module. There is no need to wear glasses.
A leading glasses-free 3D solution provider, SuperD has been dedicated to developing the 3D technology ecosystem for more than a decade. The founder, Ge Zhang, was recently quoted in China Daily, saying “With more high-quality 3D content…as well as the maturity of application technology and improvement in image processing, mobile devices with 3D technology will become a popular personal consumer electronic product.” Combining SuperD’s 3D technology and mobile network technology, it’s possible to connect multiple smart devices for 3D live streaming.
SuperD’s 3D products utilize eye tracking to enable a wide viewing angle. They also support simultaneous 2D/3D display with “3D Window” functionality, and are optimized for processing speed and efficiency utilizing a 3D imaging IC. Content is sent from connected device, and the camera tracks the position of user’s eyes in relation to the device and re-renders the content in real-time to create a great 3D experience.
SuperD also recently launched 3D Box, a glasses-free 3D display accessory. In last August, SuperD and DreamWorks Animation announced a strategic partnership in the 3D industry. Michael Hsu, SuperD’s CEO, announced that 3D BOX will get 3D film and entertainment resources from Hollywood as well as 3D games from developers worldwide. A winner of the 2015 Lumiere Award from the Advanced Imaging Society, 3D BOX is also expected to link to the 3D livecast network.
