Types of 3D Technology:: - Anaglyph 3D Technology - Active 3D Technology - Polarized 3D Technology

This document discusses three main types of 3D technology: anaglyph 3D, active 3D, and polarized 3D. Anaglyph 3D uses red and blue lenses to filter separate images for each eye. Active 3D uses shutter glasses that alternately block each lens in sync with images displayed. Polarized 3D projects two polarized images that polarized glasses separate so each eye only sees one image. Passive polarized glasses are the cheapest option and work like sunglasses without batteries.

Types of 3D Technology:

• Anaglyph 3D Technology
• Active 3D Technology
• Polarized 3D Technology
Anaglyph 3D 
• These devices have two different lenses – mostly red and
blue.
• The principle of their use involves dividing the image into the
two above-mentioned colors individually for each eye.
Lenses filter an image by color and each eye sees its own
image.
Anaglyph glasses
• In this system, two images are displayed on the screen, one in red and
the other in blue (or green). The filters on the glasses allow only one
image to enter each eye, and our brain does the rest.
Active shutter
• Active Shutter (also called Liquid crystal shutter) is used in conjunction
with a display screen to create the illusion of a three dimensional
image, an example of stereoscopy.
• Shutter glasses work by alternately darkening one lens and
then the other, varying each from transparent to opaque and
then back to transparent. While one is opaque, the other is
transparent, and vice versa. For the current 3D technology,
these alternating transitions happen 120 times per second.
Because this happens so fast, you cannot see the flickering of
the lenses.
• Shutter glasses have several clear advantages over anaglyph 3D
glasses technology, which uses two differently colored filters for
lenses. Unlike anaglyph glasses that filter out some colors due to the
colored lenses, liquid crystal glasses are color neutral, which means
the full colors of the movie come through.
• These glasses are slightly bulkier than passive glasses since they have
batteries (some use watch batteries, others use rechargeable
batteries), on/off button, and a transmitter that syncs the rapidly
moving shutters for each eye with the onscreen display rate. These
type of glasses are more expensive than passive polarized glasses
POLARIZED
• PASSIVE POLARIZED GLASSES
• These glasses look and wear like sunglasses. They require no power and can
usually be placed over existing eyeglasses if needed. Passive glasses are
inexpensive to manufacture.
• Two images intended for each eye are displayed from two separate projectors.
• Each image is projected with a polarization mutually orthogonal to the other
polarization.
• Polarized 3d glasses are then used with polarized filters to ensure that each
eye receives only the intended image.
• It works well, and the required glasses are cheap and light.
How Do Polarized 3D Work?
• Two images are projected on the screen and each one has a different
polarization
• The polarized glasses allow only one of the images into each eye
because each lens has a different polarization.
Types of Polarized 3D
• Linearly Polarized Glasses
Two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen
through orthogonal polarizing filters (Usually at 45 and 135 degrees). Linearly polarized
glasses require the viewer to keep his head level, as tilting of the viewing filters will
cause the images of the left and right channels to bleed over to the opposite channel.
• Circularly Polarized Glasses
Two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen through circular
polarizing filters of opposite handedness. The viewer wears eyeglasses which contain a
pair of analyzing filters (circular polarizers mounted in reverse) of opposite handedness.
The result is similar to that of stereoscopic viewing using linearly polarized glasses,
except the viewer can tilt his or her head and still maintain left/right separation.
