Aircord 3d Display Trades Glasses for Optical Illusion

July 27th, 2010 by: Lambert Varias

Similar to the HoloAD trapezoidal display that we saw at CES, Aircord Labs’ N-3D uses a specially-coated transparent glass pyramid to give the viewer the illusion of a 3D display. An iPad placed on top of the pyramid projects three separate images, and each image is reflected in varying intensities on each of the three exposed sides of the pyramid, so that when you go around and look at the other sides, it’s like you’re viewing the other sides of the object being displayed as well.

As shown in the picture above, the N-3D can also produce images that change in response to sound. I’m not sure what the practical applications of that are, perhaps this is merely proof of concept regarding its interactive potential. I’d be more stoked if it responded to touch though.

Will the TV’s and monitors of the future be pyramid-shaped? I’m all for pyramid-shaped TVs.

    I am looking for an investor for my invention, three-dimensional display. If you and/or your Corporation and/or its partners invest in my invention, you will be entitled to an amount of profit share on which we agree from any profit I obtain from manufacturing of my invention. If you and/or your Corporation and/or its partners help me find an investor for my invention, you and/or your Corporation and/or its partners will be entitled to an amount of profit share on which we agree from any profit I obtain from manufacturing of my invention. I also have a pending patent application.
    I claim that my design of a three-dimensional display achieves both depth resolution and image resolution equal to the maximum visible by a human viewer, negligible crosstalk, negligible aberrations, and proper Modulation Transfer Function.
    ( More information about my invention can be found for example at Internet address http://www.nyx.net/~zmihajlo )
