Italian manufacturer SIM2 has taken 3D one step further this week as it announced the launch of its first home 3D projector.
The projector, Lumis 3D-S, is the only home projector which uses the three flash technology that is used in commercial cinema projectors.
With the three flash technology the projector allows for smoother movement and puts less strain on the eyes.
This will also eliminate ghost images and ‘flicker’ as the three flashes allow the projector to have a much higher frame-rate per second (fps).
Normal home 3D projectors are usually limited to about 120 fps but the Lumis 3D-S has 140 fps.
On top of this, the projector is based on 3-chip DLP technology, which allows the image to be “punchier and more enjoyable” than other projector technologies.
Although SIM2 is not the first company to approach the market with a 3D product, the managing director of SIM2 UK, Alan Roser, said that it made a conscious decision not to be the first on the scene.
“We have come to market at the right time with a product that is unrivalled in the home cinema market for its 3D images,” he said.
SIM2 also mentioned that it was proud to be one of the first to bring the M-3DI standard for active-shutter 3D compatibility to 3D TVs, computers, home projectors and cinema projection.
The projector will still require glasses, however, but they will come with the projector which starts at a whopping £29, 995 for the T1 and T2 models, and £31, 995 for the T3 model.
