Apple has patented a new technology for forming a stereo image

Apple has always differed with innovative solutions and technologies, which are often ahead of their time and it is unlikely someone will surprise us once the patent. In this case we are talking about 3D. The Cupertino received a patent for technology that will display the stereo image, visible to the naked eye. At the same time the audience to sit still, to correctly see the three-dimensional image, is not necessary.
A patent application for this technology It was filed Apple as early as 2006. At that time, in the order stated that for viewing three-dimensional images and video in 3D on the displays must be either require the viewer to sit still, or to provide the most innovative display processing technology images.
As a result, it was decided to unrestricted users, but to introduce themselves in the 3D-display technology avtostereoskopii. These screens should be inexpensive, but their performance technology - simple. In this case, the idea is to have a practical sense.
Thus, users will be able to sit as they please when watching 3D movies on the future of Apple screens and built-in screens themselves sensors will analyze the position of the body and head of people and generate pseudo-holographic images corresponding way. Images must adapt despite the fact that the audience is changing body position or turn his head.
In fact, the technology operating principle is somewhat similar to an existing one - embodied in the controller Kinect from Microsoft for the Xbox 360. By the way, such developments are not new, and there are even operating prototypes of TVs on which the stereo image can be seen with the naked eye. However, the viewing angle of such devices is very small, and the principle of operation is somewhat different from that suggests Apple. This technology "parallax-barrier", which is much easier, but the result - is worse.
