Has anybody seen those displays actually working? Are those displays really so good (images fly 1 meter out from screen etc.) so they can be used by advertisment companies? Are there any cheaper alternatives with same quality?

What specific model do you mean ?
I am falmilar with Stereographics displays working
on identical principle ...
If you are in 3 m ditance from the screen something can realy apper 1m or so in front from the screen.
All this devices work on identical principle = the prices are the same.

I cant say exact model but I am interested of those different size displays they are offering -http://www.opticalitycorporation.com/ Are those any good? Other provider of same type displays is http://www.visucom.de. Does anybody have any positive or negative comments on those products, can they be effective in POS marketing?

I have just one monitor of this type on my table ... What to say ? It works, you need no glasses, it is comfortable, the resutls are interesting ...
I have a lot of experiences with this sort of devices - I was working on this sort of monitors support implementation in DepthQ Server software ...
The main complication is the multiview character of this devices. The native resolution of source monitor is reduced usualy by a factor of 9 or so.
So even with super hi res base monitor you will get reduced per eye output resolution ...
If you will use e.g. 3200x2400 monitor as the base one, you will get 1066x800 output resolution
and you will need a very powerful PC setup to be able to creat the neccesary 9 images ....
I sugegst to you to have a look on the device in praxis to make a picture yourself.

Another story is multivew projection ...

I saw some Opticality display in Paris last april, in a professionnal display fair. Here, they are known as X3D. From 20 to 40 inches or so, same quality and problem.

Yes, there is a good 3d effect.
The reduced resolution doesn't seem to be a trouble as long as the images keep moving. It seems the eyes just don't have the time to notice the difference.

But there IS a problem.
The screen is very dark. I would say that it can be seen only under conditions of reduced ambient lighting.
It's easily understandable: as this technology uses a parallax barrier, the light from the LCD is divided by nine on the multiviewer systems !

It may not appear immediately but it was obvious in Paris, as there was another 3d system displayed, only a few meters away from the x3d stand. This one was french and called "Alioscopy".

The screen displayed was 40 inches and was also a multiviewer system, with 8 points of view. In fact, it looked a lot like the Opticality system, especially as they both showed the same CGI content (mostly US advertising, with also some interesting "real" pictures for the french system) but its image was much brighter.
The people there said the main difference was that they used lenticulars instead of parallax barrier.

I spent quite some time switching from one stand to the other! I also noticed that "Alioscopy" was running much smoother than Opticality, probably due to PC troubles on the Opticality side.

I have no idea about the cost.

Heres a message I just got today for apparently critisizing a product. I googled my name and Visucaom and came up with this thread.

..To my knowledge i dont know what i have said to offend the owner, but Im willing to stand corrected - if I am wrong -.

Meanwhile, can anyone here vouch for my "3d proffesionality" ? :D
Cheers
Clyde
PS Am I the only sucker posting my real email address so I can get flamed? jeeze!

Hi Clyde,

If you do not have any professionally knowledge about 3D technologies you better should be quiet. Your comments are really rubbish, not correct and very poor. It gives the impression that you are a bloody amateur, because you do not know what you are talking about.

Have a good day!

I believe I found the source of the problem..
its due to this post:

http://www.stereo3d.com/discus/messages/24/3501.html?

As I recall I was answering the persons question when you "put an object in and it becomes 3d".
Thats the links I gave in that thread
Sheesh!
