Alioscopy USA’s CEO, Philippe Roche, is eager to demonstrate the 3DHD-40’s powerful 3D visualization capabilities to SIGGRAPH attendees, noting, “The general public, and especially those working within the media and entertainment industry, have been extremely patient while waiting for 3D display technology to hit its stride. It’s my great pleasure to let them know that the wait is finally over. The 3DHD-40 delivers a level of clarity and depth that far outshines anything else on the market today; opening up an entirely new realm for content development and providing the ultimate showcase for bringing that content to life.”
The 3DHD-40, developed and manufactured by Alioscopy, features a highly specialized lenticular lens that boasts unmatched quality, clarity and depth resulting in a truly immersive and memorable experience for the viewer. When running real-time applications the experience can be enhanced even further allowing the viewer to interact with the 3D content as it is displayed. The 3DHD-40 is particularly well suited for situations that require a high degree of impact or “wow” factor, such as presentations with important clients, interactive video games, advertising campaigns, and tradeshow signage and displays sure to draw a crowd.
Alioscopy’s underlying open architecture provides an end-to-end solution that allows standard video to be shown and 3D content to be developed and rendered with leading 3D software applications such as Autodesk® 3ds® Max, Autodesk® Maya®, SOFTIMAGE|XSI®, MAXON CINEMA 4D and NewTek Lightwave 3D®. Display of 3D content on the 3DHD-40 is well suited for applications in a variety of industries, including media and entertainment (film, video, casino gaming and advertising/digital signage), scientific, medical, architectural and design. The technology also makes 3D display on industry-specific devices, including those that are hand-held and mobile, a reality—enabling countless new avenues for 3D content development and licensing opportunities.
“It’s gratifying to have the support of respected 3D software industry veterans like Autodesk and Softimage as we make our SIGGRAPH debut,” said Pia Maffei, director of operations for Alioscopy. “Our technology was built from the ground-up with an open architecture that is compatible with nearly every 3D software application on the market; something competitive solutions can’t claim. I’ve no doubt that once the astounding quality of the 3DHD-40 is experienced first-hand, 3D content developers in the media and entertainment space will be very eager to leverage the technology to showcase their content to its fullest potential.”
About the 3DHD-40
