P3D 3D HDTV

[John Toeppen <toeppen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Multisync monitors attached to fast computers will soon allow
multiformat inputs.  HDTV, SVGA, NTSC - may all be displayed on a large
computer monitor.  A nineteen inch or twenty one inch monitor with  .28
dot pitch should support HDTV.  
High quality 3D HDTV is certainly possible, especially with
computational power.  I know that Bill Gates has two cross polarized
three channel projectors that simultaniously rear project onto a
twentyfoot screen front and center.  Both projectors do 500 lines and
run without any flicker.  Two more complete projection systems with
twenty foot screens are on either side. Gray V polarizing glasses
required.
I just have to wonder:  What is this guy doing for content?  Is this
some kind of HoloDeck.....or a HoloSuite?
Anyway, autostereo viewing systems are the certain eventual path.  Some
people don't like glasses (oddly, even if they already wear them) or to
stick their face into anything.  Some of us learn to overcome these
deeper fears.  Lenticular viewing systems can allow stereo images on
screens to be viewed from certain fixed positions without glasses.
If the markets were to appear, so would the hardware.  At prices that we
can afford. Now days you just have to build your own. 
Or buy shuttered glasses.
Or enjoy the rich man's camera of the 50's - the Realist!
