Eastman Kodak’s New Business Ventures division will demonstrate new professional applications for its Stereoscopic Immersive Display system, based on Nvidia Quadro solutions, at SIGGRAPH 2004, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, from Aug. 10 - 12. The exhibit marks Kodak’s return to SIGGRAPH, after a 7-year absence.
The industry’s first desktop stereoscopic imaging display system, the Kodak SID system is an innovation in stereo imaging and does not require viewers to wear glasses or headgear of any type. With the Kodak display, images are viewed in true, binocular stereo vision – exactly the same way that the human eye works in real life. Pupil imaging eliminates cross-talk, which combined with the virtual image optical design, eliminates sources of eyestrain found in other autostereoscopic solutions. The system has a unique viewing zone, which makes it easy to see where the "sweet spot" is, and the image quality is identical across the entire viewing zone
.
The desktop display has a 45-degree by 36-degree field of view with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels and large, 32 mm viewing pupils. This field of view gives the viewer the feeling of floating in a movie theater about 1.5 screen heights away from the screen. Using pupil imaging and high-resolution LCD displays, the Kodak stereo display system provides a true stereo image to the user with no loss in image resolution.
Kodak's booth number is #1162.
