Hi Guys, We did an interview with Dolby's EVP Tim Partridge, and they were wondering if there were some questions people would like to ask for a quick follow-up later in the month. The interview is here: http://mtbs3d.com/cgi-bin/rss_blog.cgi?news_id=20 Regards, Chopper | ||

Sure. I've been talking to people making circular polarized (not Infitec) glasses for my own project. I know there have been feelers put out about inexpensive glasses for the Infitec system. But I was also told that the expense of the Infitec glasses is MOSTLY licensing; they COULD be made cheap, but Infitec is preventing it. If that is true, when will the 'cheap' glasses appear? You realize that the although the silver screens and digital projectors for Direct D cost more, the glasses, even the plastic circular polarized ones they use, are a fraction of the price of the Infitec ones and disposible. Cleaning costs money. On a per film or per theater basis, the Infitec system is going to cost more for now. When will you be as cheap or cheaper than Direct D? Larry Elie | ||

Can you elaborate your question a bit more? Can you give me a URL to "Direct D" so I can research this a bit? Thanks in advance, Neil | ||

Real D. Disney 3D. Those are the trade names. They are the same. It's a tripple flash, circular polarized system, using digital projection. Very common in theaters today. | ||

Excellent. I'll add it to the list now that I understand the question. | ||

Seeing as Dolby Digital 3D is considered the best form of 3D display, will Dolby Digital 3D ever become available for home cinema / PC use like the Nvidia 3D Vision kit? | ||

"Dolby 3D" is just the cinema related branding. Go to http://www.infitec.de/index.php?lang=en You can get glasses and projection filters directly. But still it's expensive. PIXEL PARTNER (R) Thomas Kumlehn scan/record 35mm film, Stereo3D/CG/VFX coding http://www.PixelPartner.de/openKMQen | ||

OK, thanks for the info! That kit looks way above my price range so the Nvidia 3D will do for now. | ||

If you just need S3D Previewing of your work on any LCD or even printed, try the KMQ over/under viewer - from $10. For details - see my signature link PIXEL PARTNER (R) Thomas Kumlehn scan/record 35mm film, Stereo3D/CG/VFX coding http://www.PixelPartner.de/openKMQen |
