At the 3D & Virtual Reality Expo, Solidray Research demonstrated an Interactive 3D theater, which is used through body movement in 3D space.
In this system, pictures shown on three screens by a 3D projector are manipulated interactively, using a 3D glove. The 3D glove contains sensors, which detect how much the fingers are bent. There are also 3D sensors to detect the position of the hand.
"There's a 3D boom right now, but most 3D systems aren't interactive. In movies and TV, 3D pictures are simply viewed passively. So we want to work on interaction, where the viewer also takes action in 3D. I think there could be various applications for this, such as designing automobiles or changing room layouts. We'd like to develop this system rapidly in those directions."
For this system, Solidray Research developed both the VR software, called OmegaSpace, and the 3D projector, called Sight3D. The multi-screen synchronization system in OmegaSpace displays high-definition 3D pictures smoothly in real time, without any seams from projector overlap.
