How about watching a 3D movie while you are on the move? Yes! Hollywood-based MasterImage 3D, Inc., the pioneers of next-generation 3D technologies, is currently dedicating all its efforts towards developing autostereoscopic screens for use in cars and aircraft.
The company had originally been developing the technology for the next generation of smartphones, before they decided to switch lanes to implement the same technology for automobiles and aircrafts. The switch came up mainly due to the fact that the demand for in-car and in-flight entertainment has been developing at a constant pace. Current generation vehicles come loaded with multiple display screens, which range from TV screens for passengers in the rear to infotainment displays in the front. Hence, the platform for 3D screens in vehicles may seem well laid out.
According to MasterImage, if automobiles are equipped with Wi-Fi, it would leave car owners with additional option to download 3D movies and watch them while on a trip. Passengers could also potentially download games and compete with each other. In addition to that, the car’s satellite navigation systems could also make use of the technology.
If this technology comes out right, it is expected to cause quiet a stir in the world of automotive entertainment. However, it is also noteworthy that the world of automotive entertainment moves a lot slower than mobile devices, and hence, the technology is predicted to take a while before it becomes really widespread.
