Stereoscopic Disk Formats

Anaglyph DVDs




Glasses included
Low image quality
Only anaglyph playback
Field-sequential DVDs



Low resolution
Inapplicable for the mass market
Compatible with most 3D hardware

Design Goals
Combine user friendliness of anaglyph DVDs with the flexibility
of field-sequential DVDs and add support for higher resolutions.

PC-based solution



To circumvent limitations of TV standards
Resolutions beyond PAL, NTSC, 720p and 1080p
Extend existing solutions rather than replace them


Compatible with CD-ROMs, DVDs, HD-DVDs and Blu-ray Disks
Add-on to 2D, anaglyph and/or field-sequential disk
