InAVate: For 3D to be watched comfortably without glasses a new way of shooting and processing is needed, according to The Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications. The German organisation is working on a four-camera system that will be able to handle live transmissions. Calibrating four cameras can take days but the Fraunhofer research scientists are developing a system that can slash the

time to between 30 and 60 minutes. When the boundaries merge between the action and the viewer, television becomes a special experience. Fraunhofer research scientists are optimizing the technologies that make it possible to watch TV in 3D without technical aids such as 3D glasses. A new four-camera system will even be able to handle live transmissions. “The breakthrough for 3D television will only come when you don’t need glasses, argues Frederik Zilly from the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI in Berlin. “Wearing them is just too uncomfortable and tiresome.” Research scientists at HHI are working with twelve partners in the MUSCADE project on technologies which will make glasses-free 3D TV viewing better.
