[Philip Lelyveld comment: this podcast is a deep dive into autostereo. It is free to SMPTE members.]
The “glasses versus no glasses” debate is on-going, especially when it comes to 3D in the home. A solid understanding of autostereoscopic displays can help understand the challenges associated with 3D without glasses. During this SMPTE PDA Now educational webcast, Gregg Favalora, of Optics for Hire, will discuss autostereoscopic displays including theory of operation for various types (including spatially-multiplexed, volumetric, holographic / quasi-holographic displays, and more recent varieties). Mr. Favalora will also share his opinions on the fundamental requirements of a good autostereo display and what technologies might enable an engineer to develop display systems that meet those requirements.
