Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an autostereoscopic display?

An autostereoscopic display is a 3D display that does not require wearing special glasses or a head-mounting device. Unlike a regular 2D monitor, a stereoscopic (3D) display allows the viewer to see a different perspective of a scene with each eye, thus perceiving depth.

2. How is deepLight technology different from other autostereoscopic technologies?

Deep Light uses a patented Time-Multiplexing technology, enabling high-resolution 3D with look-around capability (motion parallax). Whereas other technologies are limited in resolution and screen size, deepLight technology is not limited in those areas. Visit our technology section for more details.

3. Can the deepLight display be used to view conventional 2D content (cable TV, DVDs, PlayStation, etc.)?

Every deepLight 3D Display can easily be switched between 3D and 2D modes. In 2D mode, the deepLight 3D display is essentially a high-resolution projection television, and can flawlessly display any 2D content.

4. Can 2D content be shown in 3D?

Deep Light’s software package can include optional 2D-3D conversion software. Standard 2D content can be converted on-the-fly to 3D, for viewing on the deepLight 3D Display.

5. How big is the screen size of a deepLight display?

Deep Light produces a 25 inch display and has prototypes in a variety of sizes – ranging from 25” desk-side displays to 100” wall-sized displays.


6. Can the deepLight display be installed in my company conference room for group viewing?

While Deep Light’s Designer Series display is meant for individual viewing or a few people at the same time. Future products will include the Presenter Series which is ideal for a conference room or any environment with a larger audience.

7. I’m a modeler using Maya. How can I create content for the deepLight display?

Any authoring tool can be used to create content for the deepLight display. Modelers and animators should use the same authoring tools and follow the same procedures to create content.

8. I’m an industrial designer using a CAD package. Can I render design models with the deepLight display in real time?

Yes, the deepLight Image Generator can render models in real time. Basically, any OpenGL-based application is compatible with Deep Light’s Display.
