Executive Summary Background information of 3D technology 3D technology has been a very hot technology that many people are discussing recently. The movie‚ Avatar had also aroused a wide public frenzy towards the 3D displayed work. Some people may wonder‚ can this trend sustain and could this technology eventually become popular‚ widely applied in different areas? Through analyzing the technology maturity‚ public opinions‚ applications and current development‚ we hope to get some insight in this

3D glasses The simplest VR systems use only a monitor to present the scene to the user. However‚ the “window onto a world” paradigm can be enhanced by adding a stereo view by use of LCD shutter glasses. LCD shutter glasses support a three-dimensional view using sequential stereo: with high frequency they close and open eye views in turn‚ when the proper images are presented on the monitor. An alternative solution uses a projection screen instead of a CRT monitor. In this case polarization of
