The world is filling up with 3D data—satellite, digital terrain, SAR, LIDAR, CAD/CAM, multi-view video, 3D buildings and medical/diagnostic data. Presentation of this data on 2D screens is fraught with problems—comprehension of this inherently 3D data is significantly slowed or difficult when viewed on a 2D screen as compared to viewing it in 3D.
However, currently available 3D displays have visual artifacts, do not provide correct vergence/accommodation cues (focus and crossing-point are not the same) and/or lack motion parallax (change in scene as the observer moves) or other essential 3D visual cues, and often cause dizziness, nausea, headaches or other physical symptoms due to conflicting 3D cues. The AS3D display from TDT resolves all these problems and presents gorgeous 3D images in brilliant full-color and high-resolution. Potential markets include DOD simulation, medical imaging and diagnostics, architectural and engineering design, digital signage, and games and entertainment. TDT is presently concentrating on the DOD simulation and medical visualization markets.
