Stereo 3D TechnologiesinComputing, Entertainment and Art A Reminder of Today and a Look at Tomorrow by Peter Calvache petercalvache@ University of Applied Arts Vienna The 3D Experience You attempt to test the 3D monitor capabilities and search the net for appropriate images with little success. Everything seems to be geared for conventional displays. Even general-purpose software products dont use these facilities. You finally locate suitable image files but have misplaced the 3D glasses. At last you find them. Stunning 3D scenes appear to reach out towards you. You want to interact with them but interaction using keyboard and mouse is far from easy. They are unsuitable for navigation in 3D space. And now you notice the image quality of the new display in 2D mode is not as good as your old monitor either. You consign it to the attic and your conventional display is again your window into the digital world.Dr. Barry BlundellBritish Computer Society 3D for Computing Initial target audience is used to interpreting3D spatial relationships from 2D images PC Enthusiasts, Technicians, Engineers, ... Common preconceptions about 3D displays At best, perceptive augumentation At worst, distraction Scarce compatibility More trouble than it‘s worth Overpriced Not necessary Greatest competition from high quality 3D images on 2D displays ?It looks real enough to me!“ 3D for Computing Computer interfaces designed around 2D paradigms Approximation of paper Easiest to comprehend Experiments with 3D user interfaces Gimmicky? No increase in productivity? 3D not useful for user interface technology? 3D for Computing ?This 3D monitor is only good if you can stand wearing the glasses every time you work in 3D. Thanks to the doubled-up internal LCDs, the regular Windows desktop looks fuzzy when compared to my Dell 19-inch LCD. Good for 3D, so-so for 2D.“ 3D for Computing Banal but important point 3D is only useful for displaying natively 3D content? ?mapping“ natively 2D
