Ultra-D

Ultra-D's viewing angle is remarkably wide, so most everyone in a room can see the 3D. (The Big Guys competition require being in a very specific spot.) It also lets you adjust the 3D setting for personal preference - big "pop" but less-sharp image, or crisper image with less pop. And their SeeCube™ technology converts 2D show to 3D in real-time, with limited loss of quality.

The company made an additional announcement at IFA Berlin. The current standard for high-definition today is 1080p. (That's basically related to the number of pixels.) There is a new standard being developed called 4K. Incredibly high resolution. But at the moment, it's very expensive, and no native content is available for consumer sets. Whether it's worth the cost is also a question, though I've seen demonstrations, and it's stunning. Well, Stream TV Networks has developed a way to convert current 1080p resolution, to 4K.

All this from a tiny, unknown company. How they've leaped far past the monolith companies is stunning. Huffington Post, Robert J. Elisberg, Sep 5, 2012

In addition, the manufacturer's claim appeared to be true, that the image is lighter, stronger light most competing solution. The good news is that the Ultra-D principle partners through the otherwise fit any screen resolution, size and technology are installing other devices soon, so we can expect 3D Tablet, laptop and phone. The device exhibited Hisense stand before people stopped and talked to many people seeing images, which also demonstrates that the solution will permit the right direction for 3D TV viewing.

  The coolest part about the TV technology that the company offers is not only does it support the conversion of existing 1080p content up to 2160p resolution; it also supports 3-D with no glasses. The company says that it has developed a groundbreaking algorithm that can add resolution to the data in existing content. The company says that the algorithm will work on content of any resolution allowing it to be viewed in greater than 1080p. Slashgear, Shawn McGlaun, Aug 31, 2012

What the company is now announcing are two things. The first is that they can convert HD resolution into 4K, which is an upcoming, potential standard of unprecedented high quality, with four times greater resolution. And the second is that they have finally licensed their Ultra-D technology to two partner companies: Pegatron (which makes devices for third-party companies that then put their own name on them, like the iPhone) and Hisense, which is a massive Chinese company that's making an entry into the U.S. market. No other glassless 3D TV I've seen comes anywhere close. Toshiba is introducing one (the 55ZL2, if I can read my notes correctly...), but though the picture was crisp, the 3D quality was just fair, plus it uses a user sensor, which limits the viewing range and it's quite expensive.

This could change the way viewers watch TV forever and bring smartphones in line with the technology all at the same time. This is sure to see an increase in people watching movies at home instead of paying out for cinema or theatre viewing! The ability to watch movies without 3D glasses will be awesome to say the least and give the viewer the feeling of really being a part of what is going on on-screen in the ultimate fashion.

“Occlusion culling is something that anyone who has played a FPS has experienced. It’s the process by which a computer algorithm determines when something is in front of something else. It makes sure that when someone is hiding behind cover, you can’t see their body – or when a character is walking you can’t see the wall that’s behind them. Knowing all this, I thought that I had figured things out – that I knew what was going to be coming when he started the presentation to show the tech off. Boy was I wrong.” Gadget Review, Shawn Kline, Aug 30, 2012

“Even more important than the announcement of the 4k by 2k TV though, is the announcement that they plan on bringing this technology to other mediums after the televisions are out.  Laptops I think were a given, but I surely didn’t expect tablets to be on their “to do” list.  We’ve seen glasses free 3D enabled cell phones as well, but with the ones that are out now it felt gimmicky – here’s hoping these guys can change all that. While we here at Gadget Review have seen the prototype unit and been impressed with it, we are still anxiously waiting to see a consumer ready version.  We also cannot wait to get our grubby little hands on a SeeCube so we can plug our own content into it rather than just watching prepared footage – I’m drooling over the thought of Battlefield 3 in 3D.” Gadget Review, Shawn Kline, Aug 30, 2012
