It is not very common as the glasses cost about times the cost for the polarised glasses used by RealD. Autostereoscopy is any method of displaying 3D images without the need for 3D glasses or other viewers. The approaches used to achieve this include parallax barrier, lenticular, volumetric, electro- holographic and light field displays, with the former two being the main techniques. A parallax barrier consists of a barrier which has a series of slits cut out is placed in front of the display, LCD being the most common displayed used.
At one of the correct viewing angles the holes allows the light from one image to be seen by one eye and the light from the other image is seen by the other eye. The barriers block the light from each of the images from being seen by the other eye. This is illustrated below.
This method is used in a navigation system installed in the model Range Rover which allows the driver to view GPS directions whilst the passenger watches a movie. A lenticular lens is an array of magnifying lenses, designed so that when viewed from slightly different angles, different images are magnified. The most common example is the lenses used in lenticular printing, where the technology is used to give an illusion of depth, or to make images that appear to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles.
This is mainly used for printed images, but is also used for projected TV systems and glass- free 3D TV. Lenticular printing is a multi- step process consisting of creating a lenticular image from at least two existing images, and combining it with a lenticular lens. This process can be used to create various frames of animation for a motion effect , offsetting the various layers at different increments for a 3d effect , or simply to show a set of alternate images which may appear to transform into each other.
There are three distinct types of lenticular print, distinguished by how great a change in angle of view is required to change the image:. Here two or more very different pictures are used, and the lenses are designed to require a relatively large change in angle of view to switch from one image to another. This allows viewers to easily see the original images, since small movements cause no change.
Larger movement of the viewer or the print causes the image to flip from one image to another. The "flip effect". Here the distance between different angles of view is "medium", so that while both eyes usually see the same picture, moving a little bit switches to the next picture in the series. Usually many sequential images would be used, with only small differences between each image and the next.
This can be used to create an image that moves "motion effect" , or can create a "zoom" or "morph" effect, in which part of the image expands in size or changes shape as the angle of view changes.
The movie poster of the film Species II , shown in this article, is an example of this technique. Here the change in viewing angle needed to change images is small, so that each eye sees a slightly different view. This creates a 3D effect without requiring special glasses. Lenticular lenses are used to produce a bright picture on projected TV screens. It is not used in this way for 3D projected television. Side- by- Side. Colours appears distorted.

How 3D technology works How 3D technology works Various 3D media all work by giving the illusion of depth by presenting offset images separately to each eye. Separate Images: This technique used two different images, each shown to one eye to achieve stereoscopy.

Wonderopolis Feb 17, Isabella Feb 12, What is it about this fascinating technology that entices movie-going audiences around the world? Dimensions are properties of space. They refer to an extension in a particular direction. For example, two-dimensional 2D images have two dimensions: length and width. Think of a picture drawn on a piece of paper. The paper has length and width. Many things in the real world, however, have three dimensions.
The third dimension is depth. Think of a cube. Not only does it have length and width, but it also has depth. Similarly, when you watch a movie, the screen is two-dimensional. It has length and width, but not depth. You see cars flying toward you or snowflakes floating in the air all around you. How do they do that? Try these simple experiments to test your binocular vision.
