DTI Launches ROC3D Glasses-Free 3D Technology at GTC16 Silicon Valley Tech Conference

    ROCHESTER, NY, March 30, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dimension Technologies Inc. (DTI) will debut ROC3D , an advanced, patented glasses-free 3D display technology at the 9th Annual NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (#GTC16) on April 4-7, 2016 at the San Jose Convention Center.

DTI ROC3D is the latest generation of glasses-free 3D/2D displays developed for NASA:
- Makes air travel safer -- improves pilot performance; air traffic monitoring, and security screening
- Improves the driving experience - more intuitive gauges, vehicle status, and GPS
- Enhances data visualizations - volumetric representations reveal patterns and insights
- Stunning depth of field into and out of the screen without glasses
- Full resolution in 2D and 3D (one-click switchable)
- Always in the Zone - 3D with head tracking
- Outstanding image quality

"NASA has been studying the benefits of 3D displays for nearly 30 years because they believe it can save lives in aerospace applications by increasing pilot situational awareness. DTI has been at the forefront of this quest for that entire time; and ROC3D is the technology that will bring these benefits to the cockpits of military and commercial aircraft, as well as those responsible for monitoring our airspace and our airports," according to DTI founder and CEO Arnie Lagergren.

In addition, DTI is working with a world leader in automotive systems to bring 3D to the dashboard to provide more intuitive and effective gauging, vehicle status and alerts, and GPS. "This is consistent with NASA's findings that 3D improves comprehension and leads to better and faster decision making, especially in moments of crisis," Lagergren added.

The ROC3D brand name celebrates DTI's Rochester, New York history. Rochester is a world renowned center of optics and imaging excellence. DTI will license its ROC3D technology to companies serving government and commercial markets including:
- Automotive
- Aerospace (manned and unmanned aircraft/drones)
- Engineering
- Healthcare Research and Imaging
- Data Visualization and Analysis
- Education, Training and Simulation
- Games and Entertainment

All told, the market for 3D displays is expected to reach $114 billion by 2020 according to Allied Markets.

DTI Vice President and Chief Scientist Jesse Eichenlaub states, "Other 3D displays get their 3D effects from physical barriers or lenses in front of the LCD. ROC3D uses patterns of light behind the LCD to produce clear, bright, spatially accurate 3D. Our patented Time Multiplexed Backlight System, in combination with today's fast LCDs and integrated eye-tracking, overcomes the problems associated with other no-glasses 3D technology, which include loss of resolution, light loss, and moire effects. Our display can also switch between 2D and 3D. We can also put moveable 3D windows in a 2D background and vice versa."

NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing has selected DTI as an Emerging Company for 2016. "This is an honor and a prestigious endorsement for our technology and our company," said Lagergren. "NVIDIA looks at 1000s of companies each year and then hand picks a few for inclusion in their Emerging Companies Pavilion at the GTC," Lagergren continued.

The GTC is an annual event that draws as many as 4,000 attendees, exhibitors and sponsors. "This is a Silicon Valley A-List event," according to Tom Curtin, DTI Director of Business Development. Curtin will be giving a talk at the Conference titled "The Value of 3D in Moments of Visual Dominance", which reviews studies showing the benefits of 3D versus 2D for certain types of information. "We have an opportunity to get our displays in front of global leaders from business, government and academia, and show them the benefits of having 50% more D in their displays," Curtin added. DTI is in Booth 733 in the Emerging Companies Pavilion. For more information on the GPU Technology Conference go to gputechconf.com
