…  The BBC white paper is called “3D-TV R&D Activities in Europe.” One project that was mentioned in the white paper is called “3D Vivant.”This project is based on research and design of a “3D Holoscopic” camera with a single aperture. It will enable the real-time capture of 3D scenes.

Information was also revealed about software that is being worked on, which will focus on 3D Holoscopy for the Internet. This will enable 3D objects to by hyperlinked online.

Another project mentioned in the white paper is “Real 3D.” This projects is based on overcoming restrictions of current restrictions among stereo 3D, and autostereoscopic, displays. It is based on holography.

…

HELIUM3D is another project worth mentioning that comes from the report. This project is based on improving current glasses-free displays and deals with laser technology. This project is based on “direct-view RGB” laser projection.

…

Other interesting projects mentioned include Mobile 3D-Tv, which is a 3D service for mobile users, and an end-to-end production pipeline for multimedia content that aims to allow HD and 3D video capture of live events. This will be done by using unmanned aerial vehicles and should allow us to consume more of a variety of 3D content from the comfort of our homes.

Lastly, a project, called TSB i3DLive, was mentioned that is based on extracting 3D information from live action. This project seems to be geared toward film makers and movie professionals and not the average user though.

“A typical application would be on the set of a movie production. In this case the principal camera would be a high-grade film camera and the witness cameras could be video cameras,” as mentioned by 3DFocus.
