WA success story Dynamic Digital Depth, which moved its corporate headquarters from Bentley’s Technology Park to the US last year, has teamed up with Germany-based 4S-Vision GmbH to speed up the delivery of glasses-free 3D to market.
DDD’s technologies provide solutions for converting 2D material to stereo 3D, optimising 3D for all screen sizes from large format film to the PC, and transmitting 3D content via the Internet, film, TV, DVD and CD.
Under a memorandum of understanding, DDD will integrate its patented 2D compatible 3D delivery solutions with 4D-Vision’s multi-viewer flat-panel display technologies.
The result will be a unique multi-viewer display enabling consistent quality 3D images from a wide viewing angle.
