Part of the reawakened 3D revolution, spurred on by the box office hit film
Avatar, is taking place in Israel. Israel start-up 3DTV, located in Ra'anana
north of Tel Aviv, is developing a new 3D technology. You won't need to wear
those funny glasses anymore.
Owner and CEO David Ohayon explains that every scene has to be shot with two
cameras, one from the perspective of each eye. 3D TV adds a layer of optics on
top of the existing layer on a commercial LCD TV. This layering redirects the
pixels in nine different directions.
Content for 3D has to be created in a special way, and the start-up creates
its own high quality content, in addition to providing the software to convert
any existing video into 3D content.
For now, 3D TV is showing its content at exhibitions, business centers and
airports. Several commercials made by the company are on display at the Moscow
Airport and the software is currently on display at the Israel
Pavilion at China's Shanghai Expo.
