Pleasantville 2002: Deep Impact

The release of NZ company Deep Video Imaging’s new ActualDepth 3-D monitor is being likened to the dawn of colour television in the 1950s, with Deep Video aiming to be to the monitor what Dolby was to sound technology: “The added dimension of colour is very important, and depth is even more relevant”. Company chief technologist Rj Siegel explains the many uses planned for the invention: to unclutter the cockpits in military tanks, to give perfect perspectives for studying tumors in the doctors’ surgery, and for use in public kiosks, casino slot machines and digital wristwatches. “It is the real 3-D, not the illusion of 3-D”.
