Another interesting video interview from CES 2012 done my MTBS is up, this time it is Kris Roberts who interviews Jason Kaplan, VP of Business Development for Sensics. They talk about about a new prototype HMD device being developed by the company, a standalone 3D-capable HMD device with augmented reality features. Sensics’ 3D HMD has a built-in Android OS-based hardware as powerful as what you get on a recent Android smartphone or tablet and capable of running all these apps intended for smartphones and tablets. The 3D HMD uses 1280×1024 resolution panels and multiple video cameras for motion tracking and for augmented reality applications, furthermore the device can be used as a standalone product for Android-based applications or can be connected to a PC for example over HDMI interface. Certainly an interesting product that we may be able to see by the end of this year actually appearing on the market, meanwhile you can watch two more interviews from MTBS3D made at CES 2012 following the links below.
One more video interview in stereo 3D format taken by Neil Schneider from MTBS during this years CES, this time the “victims” are Chris Yewdall (CEO) and Larry Wang (VP of Business Development) for Dynamic Digital Depth or DDD in short. This time the video is a bit long as the guys from DDD have some interesting things to share, because unlike iZ3D that are being quite silent for a while, DDD is quite active in partnering not only with AMD for stereoscopic 3D gaming, but with a lot more companies licensing their stereoscopic 3D technologies. And just to let know all of you that might not know it, DDD’s TriDef 3D software solution is also compatible with Nvidia-based GPUs, so it not only works on ATI/AMD-based hardware, but of course you need to have a compatible stereo 3D-capable display solution as well.
Lately DDD is also very actively partnering with companies offering autostereoscopic 3D display solutions, as well as companies offering additional accessories for converting 2D displays into stereoscopic 3D-capable ones such as Sony with their VAIO S laptops. DDD’s 3D technologies have also been licensed by many HDTV manufacturers, especially the automatic 2D to 3D conversion from DDD. So take a look at the interview for some interesting insight into what the company offers at the moment and what more to expect from DDD in the near future…
Neil Schneider from MTBS interviews Roger Quero, Senior Technical Marketing Manager of Displays for AMD. In this stereoscopic 3D video interview Roger Quero talks about the new Radeon HD7970 GPU with the updated higher bandwidth HDMI, multi-monitor Eyefinity 3D setups, Crossfire in stereo 3D mode. And apparently AMD has been demonstrating these new features during CES 2012, however the company still hasn’t released an official driver for the new Radeon HD 7970 GPUs and now the first cards based on the slightly slower Radeon HD 7950 are around the corner. So if you want to be able to take advantage of all the new stereoscopic 3D features so of which will be supported also on older generation Radeon HD-based video cards, you should wait a bit more for the drivers that will be able to provide you with these.
