Well, InfoComm was great and I saw some pretty cool stuff. I forgot to blog about Alioscopy. Alioscopy is a company that does 3d digital signage displays that don’t require glasses whatsoever. In fact, it’s a bit trippy. From what I gained from talking with the rep, they’ve got a rendering machine that takes about 7 or 8 images and overlays them in the background. SlashGear did an article on them not too long ago which said the following: 
In fact, the system sounds very similar to the WOWvx technology Philips recently demonstrated in their own glasses-free 3D display. Both rely on depth information recorded from a number of slightly different points-of-view - nine in WOWvx, eight for Alioscopy - that is refracted onto the different filter layers of the panel. Each system can display pre-mixed 3D video or create the 3D effect in real-time; alternatively, both can display normal 2D pictures. However the big difference would seem to be bandwidth: WOWvx supposedly needs only a little extra above plain 2D video, whereas Alioscopy’s system demands 9GB per minute.
Can you imagine that? Any digital signage system that requires 9GB per minute is really pumping out some info. These things are cool though. If you can afford their $10k price tag. The ad potential for such a system is pretty huge though. The picture of the screen I’ve pasted above really doesn’t do the system justice. It’s kind of one of those, “see it to believe it” systems. Some cool stuff nonetheless.
