3D TV technology show off by sony

Sony, show off 3D TV technology that make you feel at the movies you’re watching. The 3D TV effects can only be felt if you are using special glasses. If you do not use special glasses, this is like watching a regular TV, 2D TV. With this special glasses, you could feel was in the field when you’re watching a football game.

The special glasses, use two camera on the glasses on the left and right eye. The new camera takes a single image that is split by mirrors and recorded on two sensors, resulting in a “smoother” picture, according to Sony. The glasses capture images very quickly. You’ll feel like watching in the field although only watch from the TV at home.

The new camera is one of a number of developments being put forward by the firm, which hopes that 3D TV is about to take off.

This week, the firm also opened the doors to its European research labs to show off a different 3D camera technology for recording football games.

The technology uses three fixed cameras to record the entire football pitch. The images can them be mapped and, using software, create a 3D view.

“Each camera films a third of the pitch,” explained John Stone, general manager of research and development at Sony Professional.

“Because those cameras are set up at the same focal point, they can be stitched together.

“And because we have the depth information for every shot we can a synthesise a 3D impression be effectively positioning the pixel to different depth positions in the 3D composition.”

Mr Stone stressed that while the technology to display images in 3D was in place, it would be some time before it would be common place.

“I’m not sure we’re quite at the stage now where we’re going to have 3D Match of the Day,” said Mr Stone. “But i’m hoping that there’s going to be live events televised in 3D from 2010, and that can be edited down into shorter 3D highlights.”
