Term of the Moment
CYCLADES
Definition: SeeCube
A glasses-free 3D display technology developed by Stream TV Networks and acquired by SeeCubic, Inc. Originally named Ultra-D, SeeCube can be incorporated into the manufacture of any TV, tablet or computer screen for realistic 3D viewing. Supporting 4K resolution, the system includes an optical layer in front of the screen and circuitry that determines the depth of each object in both 2D and 3D content. The projected image can be seen from side to side, and the amount of depth can be adjusted by the viewer.
Real-Time Conversion from 2D/3D
Ordinary 2D material is converted into 3D in real time. Blu-ray 3D content, which requires glasses, can be viewed without glasses.
Almost Holographic
The technology projects the image out from the screen in a multidimensional fashion that goes beyond the autostereoscopic methods in common use. See autostereoscopy and 3D visualization.

SeeCube uses a stack of layers of refractive and diffractive optical elements bonded to an LCD screen. The viewing areas are repeated horizontally with smooth transitions between them. (Image courtesy of Stream TV Networks.)
