It has been a while since we have been far from technologies that create 3D images in a space that frequently appears in virtual reality films. With advanced technology, humans can transform a part of this vast virtual universe into reality when creating 3D films, allowing viewers to experience images more vividly and realistically.
However, a drawback of this technology is that moviegoers must wear special glasses to watch films. This requirement has significantly affected the audience’s experience due to the cumbersome nature of these glasses.
Recently, researchers in Israel and MIT have developed a highly advanced projection technology that allows 3D films to be viewed without the need for glasses. Not only does this eliminate the hassle of wearing glasses, but the new technology also enables the creation of more realistic images with higher quality than traditional 3D effects, regardless of the viewer’s position in the theater.
The glasses-free 3D screen was developed by researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Weizmann Institute of Science. This is considered a significant step forward in the field of imaging technology, offering a solution that avoids the shortcomings of traditional 3D glasses, allowing for a more immersive viewing experience in theaters.
According to Professor Wojciech Matusik, the lead researcher of this study, this represents a major advancement toward creating larger 3D screens in theaters where viewers do not need to wear 3D glasses. Fundamentally, the technology allows for the display of different pixels to simulate the depth of space, creating a rich 3D visual experience in films.
Currently, this new technology has not yet gained widespread adoption, but it is certainly a promising future that will help the film industry develop further in the near future.
