3-D VIDEO BY HITACHI
Hitachi will introduce the first 3-D telecast of human movement in real time at the Ceatec Japan 2004 trade show, today in south-east Tokyo.
Hitachi technology is based on optical illusion
Light from an object is captured at a wide range of angles. The image data is transmitted and reflected on a screen from another wide range of angles to produce a 3-D video image. While the video image is somewhat blurred, the colours are clear and the image can be viewed from a 360-degree angle around the screen. The prototype product involves installing 24 mirrors around the subject to be photographed. Four cameras are set up to capture the images projected onto the mirrors, and the image data is transmitted over special lines. At the reception site, four projectors reflect the images off a ring of 24 mirrors. A double-sided mirror placed in the centre of the ring spins rapidly, and about a quarter of the original image appears on the spinning mirror.
While this new technology is still far from commercial release, we are a step closer to the consumption of 3-D music videos :)
