Dynamic Digital Depth Previews Giant 100" 3D Video Game
Display At IAAPA
Patented System Provides Glasses Free 3D
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 19, 1998-- Dynamic Digital Depth, Inc. (ASE:DDE - news), formerly Xenotech Inc., today unveiled a
revolutionary 3D display system that delivers glasses free 3D for the video game and motion simulation industry.
Robert Baker, President and CEO of Dynamic Digital Depth, explained ''Our proprietary 3D display sets a new level of expectation for the viewer
by delivering glasses free 3D images on one of the largest game display screens yet seen. We believe that the ability to create an attraction offering a
giant 8' screen and delivering the images to the player in 3D will be of significant value to the Family Entertainment Centre and Theme Park
industry. The ability to view 3D in comfort will augment existing and future generations of video games which already offer highly realistic images.
A number of video game and motion simulator manufacturers have already shown great interest in licensing the technology and we expect to begin
field trials with a major video game manufacturer in early December here in the United States.''
Dynamic Digital Depth's patented display delivers stereo 3D images to each player by tracking their head position precisely. An infra red sensor
built into the console locates the players eyes and tracks the movement of their heads while they play the game. Two video game images are then
projected onto a retroreflective display screen allowing the players to view the game in 3D without any special glasses or headset. The unique
nature of the screen allows the system to be used in a variety of lighting conditions, including brightly lit environments. Additionally, as with
conventional multi-player video games, consoles can be located side by side, each sharing one display screen to supply images without interference.
Dynamic Digital Depth Inc. is a world leader in effective and affordable 3D content, services, and delivery technologies for mass market
applications, including:
3D video game displays. Utilizes a patented eye tracking mechanism for auto- stereoscopic 3D displays which eliminates the need for
special viewing glasses.
Proprietary, high resolution 2D-to-3D film conversion for video, 35mm and large format film. The company recently announced that it will
be converting some of Showscan's ride film library to 3D.
3D broadcasting. Enables the delivery of high quality 3D images to consumers via digital set-top boxes.
- 3D teleconferencing: real time, glasses free 3D teleconferencing.
- 3D special effects. An application of proprietary 3D techniques to supplement tools used by animators in the creation of special effects.

Canada. The company is publicly listed on the Alberta Stock Exchange and publishes a website at ddd3d.com.
