3D TV ALLOWS STRETCH FLOAT IMAGES

Japanese researchers have come out with a technology by which one can squash or stretch the images that come out of the TV screen on a 3D TV set.For demonstration purpose the image of the earth in 3D format was pressed and then like an elastic ball was stretched across the screen of the TV.As reported in the Daily Mail the technology uses six cameras with motion detecting capability and then miniaturized clips attached to the fingers of the viewer. The sensors vibrate when they come in contact with the image.To cater for blind spots the camera are placed at an angular plane.
 

Scientists from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology ( NIAIST) in Japan are the people behind the device named as i3Space.Reports from a spokesman of the institute mentioned “This system recognizes the user’s behavior and offers tactile feedback and the illusion of using the tactile sense of force. It is the first time you can feel images in the air.”The usage of this device would be well utilized by surgeons when they can practice their techniques before the actual operation and also the potential of this technology would take gaming to a new level all together. They expect that Star Trek-style ‘holodeck’ would one day turn out to be a reality.The device has been built about a unit named GyroCubeSensuous, that has been developed by the same institute in 2005. Using the gyroscopic and rotary forceback properties of this device one could simulate the sensations of push, draw and buoyancy for real.The technology would be presented in the ‘CEDEC 2010′ event which is Japan’s Biggest Conference for Game Developers to be held in September.3D TV is the newest craze that is hitting TV manufacturers and their products. 3D is short for 3-dimensional, which basically means that the added dimension of depth is introduced into the image.Unlike the conventional image of television and movies which are basically just the 2 basic dimensions of image and sound, 3D makes use of two images and special glasses that are worn by the viewer in order to make it look like the viewer is part of the image, or vice versa, due to the fact that there seems to be real-world depth to the image.
 
Anaglyph technology is basically what started it all. 3D technology is far from new, and people have been trying to integrate 3D more and more into the daily viewing lives of people all over the world. Anaglyph technology was the earliest form of 3D, and it is when two images are superimposed with an additive light setting.There are two filters that are used to be able to view the anaglyph image as 3 dimensional, with the two filters being red and cyan because they are on opposite poles of the color wheel. These two filters are then made into glasses that can be worn by the viewer in order to fully appreciate the 3D image.Because this kind of technology is basically the earliest form of 3D TV, it needs less-specialized equipment in order for it to be produced; but, of course, it does not exactly produce the clearest and most vibrant of pictures.
