BELLEVUE, Wash., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightspeed Design, Inc., a
worldwide leader in stereo 3D technology and services, and InFocus(R)
Corporation, the industry pioneer in digital projection, today announced
the world's first portable XGA and WXGA stereoscopic 3D projectors that
deliver amazing HD stereoscopic 3D at a truly unprecedented level of
price/performance.
DepthQ(R) HD 3D projectors offer rock-solid, 120Hz stereo 3D at
1280x720 or 1024x768 resolution. These bright, professional-level 3D
projectors can easily display 12 ft (3.7m) diagonal 3D high-definition
images using the latest Texas Instruments DLP(R) and BrilliantColor(TM)
technologies for stunning colors and a 2000:1 contrast ratio.
Building on the "first to market" success of the original
standard-definition DepthQ 3D projector introduced in 2005, Lightspeed
again worked with industry innovator InFocus Corporation to realize our
vision of HD resolution in a portable 3D format. The new DepthQ HD 3D
projectors incorporate Lightspeed's patent-pending technologies with
InFocus' proven reliability, providing our most discerning clientele with
high-resolution stereo 3D at an affordable price.
Steve Stark, InFocus Vice President of Engineering, said, "Coordinating
the engineering teams from InFocus, Lightspeed and Texas Instruments was
exciting. This effort brought together talented engineers from three
industry innovators who really came together to make this new level of 3D
projector possible."
Fortune 500 companies, governments, major universities from Beijing to
Munich, Hollywood's top filmmakers, and R&D labs across the globe have all
embraced DepthQ's unique combination of premium 3D visualization and
affordable price.
"Our clients represent a wide variety of industries, all of whom place
a huge importance on stereo 3D visualization. Without exception they've
been amazed at the value the DepthQ 3D projector has offered for the price.
The new HD 3D projector raises the bar even higher," said Chris Ward,
Lightspeed's President.
