Stereoscopic-3D (S3D) proliferation on personal computers (PC) is mired by several technical and business challenges:
a) viewing discomfort due to cross-talk amongst stereo images; b) high system cost; and c) restricted content availability.
Users expect S3D visual quality to be better than, or at least equal to, what they are used to enjoying on 2D in terms of
resolution, pixel density, color, and interactivity. Intel Adaptive Stable Image Technology (IA-SIT) is a foundational
technology, successfully developed to resolve S3D system design challenges and deliver high quality 3D visualization at
PC price points. Optimizations in display driver, panel timing firmware, backlight hardware, eyewear optical stack, and
synch mechanism combined can help accomplish this goal. Agnostic to refresh rate, IA-SIT will scale with shrinking of
display transistors and improvements in liquid crystal and LED materials. Industry could profusely benefit from the
following calls to action:- 1) Adopt 'IA-SIT S3D Mode' in panel specs (via VESA) to help panel makers monetize S3D;
2) Adopt 'IA-SIT Eyewear Universal Optical Stack' and algorithm (via CEA) to help PC peripheral makers develop
stylish glasses; 3) Adopt 'IA-SIT Real Time Profile' for sub-100uS latency control (via BT Sig) to extend BT into S3D;
and 4) Adopt 'IA-SIT Architecture' for Monitors and TVs to monetize via PC attach.
