Active 3D display systems

Single projector, double refresh rate

The viewer wears special eyewear consisting of two IR-controlled LCD light shutters working in synchronization with the projector. When the projector displays the left eye image, the right eye shutter of the active stereo eyewear is closed, and vice versa. The single projector used must be capable of displaying at a refresh rate to alternate high enough that the viewer does not perceive a flicker between alternate frames.

With a CRT projector

Due to the higher refresh rate of the incoming signal, a projector with a 'fast phosphor' green CRT is required. Barco's CRT projectors can be delivered with this option already installed.

With a DLP™ projector

The Barco Galaxy stereoscopic DLP™ projector offers stereo capabilities at SXGA+ resolution up to 110Hz. This higher refresh rate is complemented by an extremely bright and high-contrast image, resulting in an active stereo 3D projection display of unparalleled clarity and vividness.
