and TV monitors [99]. Philips and Sharp Corporations have also developed Auto-
stereoscopic displays which can work with both 2D and 3D content
[98][99].
The 42"
Philips multi-view Autostereoscopic display is used in the experiment to display the
stereoscopic material. This exploits lenticular lens technology to separate left and right
views
[99].
The maximum resolution of the 3D display available is 1920×1080 pixels and
the optics are optimized for a viewing distance of 3 meters. Nine users are allowed to view
3D video content at the same time. Moreover, this display supports screen parallax en-
abling users to look around the scene objects (see Figure 5.11). The input video format
of this display is colour and depth map video sequences, which are arranged side-by-side.
Therefore, the processed/original colour plus depth image sequences are combined to form
side-by-side image sequences before fed them to the display. Before displaying 3D content
on the display, the supplied colour and depth image sequences are converted into left and
right image sequences using the DIBR technique.
