Triaxes’ new format for autostereoscopic broadcast

Most people believe Autostereoscopic displays are the “Future” of 3D displays, but there are lots of different formats and technologies vying for the title.  A new proposed standard from Triaxes pitches an interesting uniform view:  Broadcast two full views and depth maps, and let the TV sort it out.

Triaxes’ technology accepts the left and right views and analyses the difference between the frames to create a grey scale depth map which autostereo displays then incorporates to transmit multiview images via lenticular or parallax barriers on the screen. Dimenco’s latest display, for example, features 28 different views

A nice, if not naive, view of how to do it.
