Deep Video Imaging

New Zealand-based Deep Video Imaging (DVI) has designed a computer screen that shows true depth of field images without requiring the viewer to use 3-D glasses, tracking devices or fixed positioning.

DVI's ActualDepthT display is two LCDs combined with a proprietary process that creates a realistic 3-D viewing angle. DVI has now combined ActualDepth with the pressure-sensitive Z-axis that only Elo's IntelliTouch can provide, to produce a touchscreen that changes depth of field at a touch or a tap of the finger.

Applications for ActualDepth with IntelliTouch range from gaming to military markets.

Air traffic controllers will be able to access much more information through this advanced computer monitor compared with 2-D displays. They can layer radar and/or weather information on top of the runway schematics.
Financial analysts can have access to greater data visualization and interaction through true touch support for simultaneous multi-level applications. This means that they could have customer stock trade information on top of real-time market information.
Increased clarity and depth of field will assist any applications involving terrain mapping and any graphics simulation that may be appropriate for military or flight training.
Video and amusement game playing is enhanced with pressure sensitivity and enhanced 3-D graphics.
Presentations and demonstrations take on a whole new look and feel.
Help screens and other windows can be easily overlaid without obscuring each other.
Drag and drop functionality is enhanced. A light touch drags an object around the screen. A heavier touch drops it to the back of the screen and vice-versa.
