3D display platform for professional IT applications

Abstract 

3D data already presented in CAD applications, simulators, virtual reality systems, 3D games, scientific imaging, radar systems and medical diagnostic systems like CT, MRI, PET or ultra-sound devices. Most of the displays can only provide just a fraction of the whole information in a way of 2D view or cuts. A 3D image contains significantly more information than 2D, enabling a more effective human-machine communication: e.g. reduce designing process, decrease the number of errors, by revealing spatial structures and correlations provide more precise diagnosis.

The proof-of-concept version of the holographic 3D display was realized by the first generation patented prototype system developed by Holografika. Beside the hardware development, a medical application environment, based on real 3D image processing and real medical 3D applications were developed in the frame of the IKTA project, to provoke further interest.

In the hardware development the goal was to realize a platform, which can be a base for a later small-scale production, based on the existing 3D display architecture. The developed platform exploit all the technical advantage of the real 3D display (motion parallax, vision to naked eye, wide field of view, hologram like characteristics, etc.) according to user requirements optimized to medical demands.
