The folks at RealD recently released a new 3D technology to the marketplace called RealD LP™ (Linear Polarizing Z Screen). The new 3D technology brings the power of 3D to smaller screens. As the company noted in a press release:
“The world’s first mobile, single-projector, passive 3D solution, the RealD LP brings the vibrancy of high-quality 3D to smaller venues such as conference rooms, R&D centers, museum exhibits, mobile education centers, virtual rides and other entertainment attractions. Designed to be set up for individual 3D presentations in minutes, or permanently mounted for long term use, the RealD LP allows the flexibility of switching between 2D and 3D on the fly while alleviating maintenance and other issues of dual-projector 3D systems.”
RealD president Joshua Greer noted that the RealD LP brings new possibilities to using the power of 3D in presentations, product development and virtual attractions. Viewers wear comfortable, affordable and reusable RealD eyewear custom built for the LP.
The technology works with 3D-enabled projectors and is suitable for screens up to 17 feet wide, the such as NEC NC800, Christie Mirage HD, and Lightspeed Design HD DepthQ, along with a silver screen from Harkness, MDI or Stewart.
RealD’s product looks pretty cool from what I can tell. One of the downsides of the product is that users have to wear glasses. I suspect that feature will be a turn off to some folks. There was no pricing information mentioned on the website. Those interested in the product are encouraged to contact the company directly.
It will be interesting to see if RealD LP gets traction in the marketplace in the months ahead. If anybody out there has used the product and has an objective opinion, feel free to post a comment. We’d love to hear from you.
