Stereoscopic and autostereoscopic display systems

Abstract

In this article, the requirements for 3D television are outlined, and the suitability of different display types are considered. A brief description of our own approach is offered, which suggests that the first generation of 3D television will be a two-image system comprising a pair of images directed to the appropriate viewers' eyes. This will be achieved by means of steering optics controlled by a head-position tracker.
