54-417: The Hydrogen One's signature features revolve around imaging, including a 3D display (called 4-View or 4V) that uses diffracted backlighting to create depth effects, dual front and rear cameras that can take pictures and film video in the device's proprietary 3D format as well as standard 3D SBS and 2D, and pin connectors that were meant to allow the device to be integrated into other planned products (such as

108-446: A lenticular lens ) in front of the image, where each lens looks different depending on viewing angle. Thus rather than displaying a 2D image that looks the same from every direction, it reproduces a 3D light field , creating stereo images that exhibit parallax when the viewer moves. A new display technology called "compressive light field" is being developed. These prototype displays use layered LCD panels and compression algorithms at

162-478: A retroreflective screen , The advantage of this technology over head-mounted display is that the focusing and vergence issues didn't require fixing with corrective eye lenses. For image generation, Pico-projectors are used instead of LCD or OLED screens. With the eclipse method, a shutter blocks light from each appropriate eye when the converse eye's image is projected on the screen. The display alternates between left and right images, and opens and closes

216-437: A "light field" on the surface of the display. In contrast to a 2D display which shows a distinct color on each pixel, a light field display shows a distinct color on each pixel for each direction that the light ray emits to . This way, eyes from different positions will see different pictures on the display, creating parallax and thus creating a sense of 3D. A light field display is like a glass window, people see 3D objects behind

270-490: A 3D 8K camera called RED Lithium that was to use the Hydrogen One as a viewfinder). The Hydrogen One's design is influenced by the lens mounts of Red's cinema cameras, with aluminum and Kevlar materials. scalloped grips, and texturing; hardware buttons and a fingerprint reader are integrated into some of the scallops. It features a 5.7-inch 1440p LCD with 3D display technology branded as "4V" ("4 View"). Developed by

324-409: A 3D illusion starting from a pair of 2D images, a stereogram . The easiest way to enhance depth perception in the brain is to provide the eyes of the viewer with two different images, representing two perspectives of the same object, with a minor deviation exactly equal to the perspectives that both eyes naturally receive in binocular vision . If eyestrain and distortion are to be avoided, each of

378-491: A 4500 mAH battery. The Hydrogen One ships with Android 8.1 "Oreo" , and is bundled with several applications intended to showcase 4V-compatible content, including RED Player, the LeiaLoft app store for apps and games, Hydrogen Network for movies and shorts (which also includes film rentals), and the photo sharing social network app Holopix. 4V content is currently proprietary to the Hydrogen One and can only be viewed through

432-593: A century. Both images are projected onto a high-gain, corrugated screen which reflects light at acute angles. In order to see the stereoscopic image, the viewer must sit within a very narrow angle that is nearly perpendicular to the screen, limiting the size of the audience. Lenticular was used for theatrical presentation of numerous shorts in Russia from 1940 to 1948 and in 1946 for the feature-length film Robinzon Kruzo Though its use in theatrical presentations has been rather limited, lenticular has been widely used for

486-414: A darkening of the displayed image and poorer contrast compared to non-3D images. Light from lamps is normally emitted as a random collection of polarizations, while a polarization filter only passes a fraction of the light. As a result, the screen image is darker. This darkening can be compensated by increasing the brightness of the projector light source. If the initial polarization filter is inserted between

540-401: A flagship price and flagship ambitions." In contrast, The Verge gave the Hydrogen One a score of 3 out of 10, arguing that it "fell short" of the quality expected among phones in its price range, and acknowledging the shortcomings of the features that were intended to set the Hydrogen One apart from them. 3D display A 3D display is a display device capable of conveying depth to

594-565: A hand-held Bakelite viewer. In 1939, a modified and miniaturized variation of this technology, employing cardboard disks containing seven pairs of small Kodachrome color film transparencies, was introduced as the View-Master . The user typically wears a helmet or glasses with two small LCD or OLED displays with magnifying lenses, one for each eye. The technology can be used to show stereo films, images or games. Head-mounted displays may also be coupled with head-tracking devices, allowing

648-474: A multi-directional backlight and allowing a wide full- parallax angle view to see 3D content without the need of glasses. Their first product was part of a mobile phone ( Red Hydrogen One ) and later on in their own Android tablet. Integral imaging is an autostereoscopic or multiscopic 3D display, meaning that it displays a 3D image without the use of special glasses on the part of the viewer. It achieves this by placing an array of microlenses (similar to

702-429: A professional video camera manufacturer). The Verge felt that 4V photos of people "generally end up looking really goofy, with the person appearing as a paper cutout on top of whatever was behind them". The quality of its Android software was also noted, as well as its use of the older Snapdragon 835 over the newer and faster 845. With a score of 7.9 out of 10, CNET concluded that the Hydrogen One needed polish, but "has

756-459: A relative difference in signal timings between the two eyes. Prismatic glasses make cross-viewing easier as well as over/under-viewing possible, examples include the KMQ viewer . In this method, glasses are not necessary to see the stereoscopic image. Lenticular lens and parallax barrier technologies involve imposing two (or more) images on the same sheet, in narrow, alternating strips, and using

810-447: A screen that either blocks one of the two images' strips (in the case of parallax barriers) or uses equally narrow lenses to bend the strips of image and make it appear to fill the entire image (in the case of lenticular prints). To produce the stereoscopic effect, the person must be positioned so that one eye sees one of the two images and the other sees the other. The optical principles of multiview auto-stereoscopy have been known for over

864-522: A silver screen for projected images. Liquid crystal light valves work by rotating light between two polarizing filters. Due to these internal polarizers, LCD shutter-glasses darken the display image of any LCD, plasma, or projector image source, which has the result that images appear dimmer and contrast is lower than for normal non-3D viewing. This is not necessarily a usage problem; for some types of displays which are already very bright with poor grayish black levels , LCD shutter glasses may actually improve

918-450: A slightly more transparent cyan filter in the patented glasses associated with the technique. Process reconfigures the typical anaglyph image to have less parallax . An alternative to the usual red and cyan filter system of anaglyph is ColorCode 3-D , a patented anaglyph system which was invented in order to present an anaglyph image in conjunction with the NTSC television standard, in which

972-568: A variety of novelty items and has even been used in amateur 3D photography. Recent use includes the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D with an autostereoscopic display that was released in 2009. Other examples for this technology include autostereoscopic LCD displays on monitors, notebooks, TVs, mobile phones and gaming devices, such as the Nintendo 3DS . Volumetric displays use some physical mechanism to display points of light within

1026-480: A volume. Such displays use voxels instead of pixels . Volumetric displays include multiplanar displays, which have multiple display planes stacked up, and rotating panel displays, where a rotating panel sweeps out a volume. Other technologies have been developed to project light dots in the air above a device. An infrared laser is focused on the destination in space, generating a small bubble of plasma which emits visible light. A light field display tries to recreate

1080-681: A wider spectrum and more "teeth" to the "comb" (5 for each eye in the Omega/Panavision system). The use of more spectral bands per eye eliminates the need to color process the image, required by the Dolby system. Evenly dividing the visible spectrum between the eyes gives the viewer a more relaxed "feel" as the light energy and color balance is nearly 50-50. Like the Dolby system, the Omega system can be used with white or silver screens. But it can be used with either film or digital projectors, unlike

1134-443: Is a display technology that has the ability to provide all four eye mechanisms: binocular disparity , motion parallax , accommodation and convergence . The 3D objects can be viewed without wearing any special glasses and no visual fatigue will be caused to human eyes. In 2013, a Silicon valley Company LEIA Inc started manufacturing holographic displays well suited for mobile devices (watches, smartphones or tablets) using

1188-399: Is an output device for presentation of information in visual or tactile form (the latter used for example in tactile electronic displays for blind people). When the input information that is supplied has an electrical signal the display is called an electronic display . Common applications for electronic visual displays are television sets or computer monitors . These are

1242-476: Is called augmented reality . This is done by reflecting the video images through partially reflective mirrors. The real world can be seen through the partial mirror. A recent development in holographic-waveguide or "waveguide-based optics" allows a stereoscopic images to be superimposed on real world without the uses of bulky reflective mirror. Head-mounted projection displays (HMPD) is similar to head-mounted displays but with images projected to and displayed on

1296-419: Is extremely simple to create, but it can be difficult or uncomfortable to view without optical aids. A stereoscope is a device for viewing stereographic cards, which are cards that contain two separate images that are printed side by side to create the illusion of a three-dimensional image. Pairs of stereo views printed on a transparent base are viewed by transmitted light. One advantage of transparency viewing

1350-416: Is similarly polarized and blocks the light polarized differently, each eye sees a different image. This is used to produce a three-dimensional effect by projecting the same scene into both eyes, but depicted from slightly different perspectives. Additionally, since both lenses have the same color, people with one dominant eye, where one eye is used more, are able to see the colors properly, previously negated by

1404-513: Is that the observer's head movements and change in accommodation of the eyes will not change the visuals seen by the viewer. For example, some holographic displays do not have such limitations. It is an overstatement of capability to refer to dual 2D images as being "3D". The accurate term "stereoscopic" is more cumbersome than the common misnomer "3D", which has been entrenched after many decades of unquestioned misuse. 3D displays are often referred to as also stereoscopic displays because they meet

1458-449: Is the method used by nVidia, XpanD 3D , and earlier IMAX systems. A drawback of this method is the need for each person viewing to wear expensive, electronic glasses that must be synchronized with the display system using a wireless signal or attached wire. The shutter-glasses are heavier than most polarized glasses, though lighter models are no heavier than some sunglasses or deluxe polarized glasses. However these systems do not require

1512-461: Is the opportunity for a wider, more realistic dynamic range than is practical with prints on an opaque base; another is that a wider field of view may be presented since the images, being illuminated from the rear, may be placed much closer to the lenses. The practice of viewing film-based stereoscopic transparencies dates to at least as early as 1931, when Tru-Vue began to market sets of stereo views on strips of 35 mm film that were fed through

1566-411: The 4V display's depth effect was akin to "a paper cutout being placed on top of a flat background" that "creates some illusion of depth, but [is] very clearly artificial in most cases", and that the display seemed "smudged" when the 3D mode was activated. 4V video was criticized for "[tending] to flicker in and out and have lots of strange artifacts", and being "dizzying anytime there’s too much motion and

1620-630: The Dolby filters that are only used on a digital system with a color correcting processor provided by Dolby. The Omega/Panavision system also claims that their glasses are cheaper to manufacture than those used by Dolby. In June 2012, the Omega 3D/Panavision 3D system was discontinued by DPVO Theatrical, who marketed it on behalf of Panavision, citing "challenging global economic and 3D market conditions". Although DPVO dissolved its business operations, Omega Optical continues promoting and selling 3D systems to non-theatrical markets. Omega Optical’s 3D system contains projection filters and 3D glasses. In addition to

1674-536: The Red-backed startup Leia , it uses nanostructures to diffract the display's backlight into a light field , creating a " holographic " depth effect. The device features dual 8-megapixel front-facing and 16-megapixel rear-facing cameras, which can also be used to take holographic photos and video compatible with 4V. The front-facing cameras only support 4V in portrait orientation, and the rear-facing cameras only support 4V in landscape. There are expansion pins on

1728-498: The glass, despite that all light rays they see come from (through) the glass. The light field in front of the display can be created in two ways: 1) by emitting different light rays in different directions at each point on the display; 2) by recreating a wavefront in front of the display. Displays using the first method are called ray-based or light field displays . Displays using the second method are called wavefront-based or holographic displays . Wavefront-based displays work in

1782-469: The image quality. In an anaglyph, the two images are superimposed in an additive light setting through two filters, one red and one cyan. In a subtractive light setting, the two images are printed in the same complementary colors on white paper. Glasses with colored filters in each eye separate the appropriate image by canceling the filter color out and rendering the complementary color black. A compensating technique, commonly known as Anachrome, uses

1836-434: The lamp and the image generation element, the light intensity striking the image element is not any higher than normal without the polarizing filter, and overall image contrast transmitted to the screen is not affected. Dolby 3D uses specific wavelengths of red, green, and blue for the right eye, and different wavelengths of red, green, and blue for the left eye. Eyeglasses which filter out the very specific wavelengths allow

1890-528: The layers of depth are constantly changing". The limited amount of 4V content, and the quality of their effects, was also noted. In regards to its cameras, CNET described their image quality as being akin to "analog film", with 2D images showing realistic color reproduction (as opposed to the processed output of competitors such as Google Pixel 3 and iPhone XS ) and detail, but that they struggled in low-light conditions, as well as medium-to-low-light video (a trait considered contradictory to Red's reputation as

1944-402: The left and right eye. Both of these 2D offset images are then combined in the brain to give the perception of 3D depth. Although the term "3D" is ubiquitously used, the presentation of dual 2D images is distinctly different from displaying a light field , and is also different from displaying an image in three-dimensional space . The most notable difference to displays that can show full 3D

1998-442: The lower criteria of being stereoscopic as well. Based on the principles of stereopsis , described by Sir Charles Wheatstone in the 1830s, stereoscopic technology provides a different image to the viewer's left and right eyes. The following are some of the technical details and methodologies employed in some of the more notable stereoscopic systems that have been developed. Traditional stereoscopic photography consists of creating

2052-516: The most common type of 3D display is a stereoscopic display , which is the type of display used in almost all virtual reality equipment. 3D displays can be near-eye displays like in VR headsets, or they can be in a device further away from the eyes like a 3D-enabled mobile device or 3D movie theater . The term “3D display” can also be used to refer to a volumetric display which may generate content that can be viewed from all angles. The first 3D display

2106-402: The passive stereoscopic 3D system, Omega Optical has produced enhanced anaglyph 3D glasses. The Omega’s red/cyan anaglyph glasses use complex metal oxide thin film coatings and high quality annealed glass optics. The Pulfrich effect is a psychophysical percept wherein lateral motion of an object in the field of view is interpreted by the visual cortex as having a depth component, due to

2160-496: The polarizing effect works regardless of how the viewer's head is aligned with the screen such as tilted sideways, or even upside down. The left eye will still only see the image intended for it, and vice versa, without fading or crosstalk. Polarized light reflected from an ordinary motion picture screen typically loses most of its polarization. So an expensive silver screen or aluminized screen with negligible polarization loss has to be used. All types of polarization will result in

2214-575: The rear of the Hydrogen One for integration with other hardware. Red unveiled an 8K professional camera in partnership with Lucid, which supports 4V and could use a Hydrogen One as a 3D viewfinder. However, references to these products have since been removed from Red's website, citing planned "changes" to the Hydrogen program. It utilizes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 system-on-chip, with 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of expandable storage, and

2268-588: The red channel is often compromised. ColorCode uses the complementary colors of yellow and dark blue on-screen, and the colors of the glasses' lenses are amber and dark blue. To present a stereoscopic picture, two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen through different polarizing filters . The viewer wears eyeglasses which also contain a pair of polarizing filters oriented differently (clockwise/counterclockwise with circular polarization or at 90 degree angles, usually 45 and 135 degrees, with linear polarization). As each filter passes only that light which

2322-444: The same way as holograms . Compared to ray-based displays, a wavefront-based display not only reconstructs the light field, but also reconstructs the curvature of the plane waves, and the phase differences of the waves in different directions. Integral photography is one of the ray-based methods with full-parallax information. However, there are also ray-based techniques developed with horizontal-parallax-only. Holographic display

2376-457: The separation of the two colors. Circular polarization has an advantage over linear polarization, in that the viewer does not need to have their head upright and aligned with the screen for the polarization to work properly. With linear polarization, turning the glasses sideways causes the filters to go out of alignment with the screen filters causing the image to fade and for each eye to see the opposite frame more easily. For circular polarization,

2430-541: The shutters in the glasses or viewer in synchronization with the images on the screen. This was the basis of the Teleview system which was used briefly in 1922. A variation on the eclipse method is used in LCD shutter glasses . Glasses containing liquid crystal that will let light through in synchronization with the images on the cinema, television or computer screen, using the concept of alternate-frame sequencing . This

2484-406: The supplied apps, but RED Player can also play back standard 3D formats which can also be uploaded to Holopix. Red stated that the device would receive ongoing updates to improve its functionality and software. The AT&T version is provided with 3D digital copies of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Ready Player One . The Hydrogen One received mixed reviews. Its utilitarian design

2538-707: The technologies used to create the various displays in use today. Some displays can show only digits or alphanumeric characters. They are called segment displays , because they are composed of several segments that switch on and off to give appearance of desired glyph . The segments are usually single LEDs or liquid crystals . They are mostly used in digital watches and pocket calculators . Common types are seven-segment displays which are used for numerals only, and alphanumeric fourteen-segment displays and sixteen-segment displays which can display numerals and Roman alphabet letters. Cathode-ray tubes were also formerly widely used. 2-dimensional displays that cover

2592-467: The time of display. Designs include dual and multilayer devices that are driven by algorithms such as computed tomography and Non-negative matrix factorization and non-negative tensor factorization. Each of these display technologies can be seen to have limitations, whether the location of the viewer, cumbersome or unsightly equipment or great cost. The display of artifact-free 3D images remains difficult. Display device A display device

2646-434: The two 2D images preferably should be presented to each eye of the viewer so that any object at infinite distance seen by the viewer should be perceived by that eye while it is oriented straight ahead, the viewer's eyes being neither crossed nor diverging. When the picture contains no object at infinite distance, such as a horizon or a cloud, the pictures should be spaced correspondingly closer together. The side-by-side method

2700-422: The user to "look around" the virtual world by moving their head, eliminating the need for a separate controller. Owing to rapid advancements in computer graphics and the continuing miniaturization of video and other equipment these devices are beginning to become available at more reasonable cost. Head-mounted or wearable glasses may be used to view a see-through image imposed upon the real world view, creating what

2754-452: The viewer. Many 3D displays are stereoscopic displays, which produce a basic 3D effect by means of stereopsis , but can cause eye strain and visual fatigue. Newer 3D displays such as holographic and light field displays produce a more realistic 3D effect by combining stereopsis and accurate focal length for the displayed content. Newer 3D displays in this manner cause less visual fatigue than classical stereoscopic displays. As of 2021,

2808-437: The wearer to see a 3D image. This technology eliminates the expensive silver screens required for polarized systems such as RealD , which is the most common 3D display system in theaters. It does, however, require much more expensive glasses than the polarized systems. It is also known as spectral comb filtering or wavelength multiplex visualization The Omega 3D/ Panavision 3D system also uses this technology, though with

2862-424: Was considered to be a contrast to other mainstream smartphones, but that it also made the device large and heavy (however, CNET felt that this design made the Hydrogen One "satisfyingly dense and solid"). CNET felt that the display's holographic effect was "oddly reminiscent of lenticular printed 3D baseball cards ", and observed mixed reactions from colleagues who were shown demonstrations. The Verge felt that

2916-411: Was created by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1832. It was a stereoscopic display that had rudimentary ability for representing depth. Stereoscopic displays are commonly referred to as “stereo displays,” “stereo 3D displays,” “stereoscopic 3D displays,” or sometimes erroneously as just “3D displays.” The basic technique of stereoscopic displays is to present offset images that are displayed separately to
