Current three dimensional video systems have the drawback that the viewers must wear glasses in order to perceive depth effects. Furthermore, they cannot convey other depth cues such as motion parallax. A new generation of displays - so called multiview automultiscopic displays (MADs) - do not suffer from those problems. They project several images simultaneously into different spatial directions allowing the viewers to see two different images with both eyes. The viewers can also experience a limited motion parallax by moving around the different viewing zones. At present most three dimensional video footage is captured in stereoscopic 3D (S3D) format. So called multiview synthesis methods are employed to generate the large amount of views that are required to operate MADs. However, the number of views is highly display dependent, and it is infeasible to transmit several views to the display per frame. Thus it is desirable to have this functionality built into the displays themselves. | Current three dimensional video systems have the drawback that the viewers must wear glasses in order to perceive depth effects.
