A COMPARISON OF 5 TITLES DISCUSSED IN THE VIDEO

Here is my next experiment:




We have continued to upgrade the 3D system to the point where it is almost like not wearing glasses at all: brighter, more transparent, and with significantly improved parallax.

In the earlier video, a serious 3D enthusiast with a collection of roughly 700 3D movies was visibly astonished by the performance of our previous-generation vodeowall 3D pre-processor and glasses system. That was before the most recent upgrade to both the 3D processing and the glasses.


Then there is the entrepreneur friend from Atlanta who had previously disliked that very same earlier-generation system. After experiencing the latest version, he described it as the best 3D he had ever seen and had this to say.

Now imagine combining that level of 3D presentation with all the benefits of 4K Cinematic material, converted using state-of-the-art AI monocular depth estimation and stereoscopic view synthesis: realistically portrayed continuous depth, stereoscopic disparity and convergence tailored to the actual screen size and viewing distance, and powerful, adjustable negative parallax for convincing out-of-screen effects.

It is already in the works.

While I appreciate all of the work going into AI 2D-3D conversions, I find these work best as demos and can't quite achieve the results of a proper conversion. I've found myself to be quite sensitive to 3D errors which simply take me out of the experience. In fact, I'd much rather see AI focused on upscaling and applying HDR color-grading. "Here's a true 3D source but in HD. Here's the same film in 4K with Dolby Vision but 2D. Apply the details and color of the latter to the former." One can dream.

In the meantime, as a 3D fan curious about LED walls...

Does your system apply any AI enhancements to pre-existing 3D content?
Does this system also handle 3D Blu-rays and manage 4K upscaling?
How are the glasses being synced?
Do one of the boxes contain an emitter or is it handled DLP-style with flashing frames?
What's the color of the flashes?
At what Hz do the glasses operate and what's the frame pulldown?
 
I Will address Your Questions in a little bit but let me inform you that my one minute test of the underwater chasing in Alien resurrection beats the living crap of the Blu-ray 3D of Doctor Strange Multiverse The scene In The St., With The Monster In The street crawling The Building it looks better OK so this is happening baby
 
Colorlight is the best videowall controller company they treat you like royalty when you are willing to work 9 to 5. 5.....AM that is!:D Look, in my long career, I’ve worked for Michael Jordan, Dan Marino, Pat Riley, Manny Medina, and some of Europe’s best architects. But one of the headiest moments of all was a November 2013 trip from London to Ibiza to Moscow with Zaha Hadid and Naomi Campbell, at the same time the Miss Universe pageant was taking place in Moscow on November 9.

Trump was also there, pursuing the possibility of building a Trump Tower in the same neighborhood where all those skyscrapers were going up.

(The Iosa Ghini ph with the living room lit up on the left, were i had a room to stay).
At the time, the top Bombardier Globals were in roughly the $60–65 million class, my Oligarch's Global 8000 was 6 million more than his Russian Developer friend's Global 6000 that he flew for the event. Ha,ha,ha!

Seriously it was the kind of surreal moment where the aircraft, the people, the cities, and everything happening around us made you stop and think about exactly where you were in life. While it lasted that is because as soon as Putin took over Crimea everyone had to git... I think that broke Zaha's heart she later died a couple of years later in Miami.

But as heady as that was, it had nothing on what just happened this morning. I just hit paydirt so Kaleidescape get the best Alien by afactor of 25X resurrection Monday morning drive over to warner and bully the guy in charge of making this happen in 8k. Because its going to look awesome on cinematic and even better with cinematic converted to 3D.

Behold the high point of HT history in the making:

Do you see that radical separation? In reality, it means crazy pop-out, continuously connected across both ends of the parallax range. How am i going to fall asleep with so much adrenaline? crap.:D

P.S. And it looks incredible. The Apple Remote worked like a champ, changing various device settings. I had to go take a hot shower to cool down before my 10:30 rheumatologist appointment its 5:12 now, it took me almost two years to obtain. LOL.
