Abstract
A newly developed, 50-in. diagonal, autostereoscopic full-color 3-D TV display system with a wide viewing angle and requiring no special glasses is described. Most 3-D TV display systems would work with two TV cameras, but we used eight to create actual look-around 3-D images as the viewer moves his/her head. Images shot with eight TV cameras are multiplexed, pixel by pixel, in the signal processing circuit to form a vertically striped image and are rear-projected by two HDTV liquid-crystal video projectors behind a lenticular screen. The resulting image is of high resolution, exceptionally bright, and gives a vivid three-dimensional feeling-and the 3-D effect is obtained from a wide range of viewing angles.
