3-D Vision Creates Unlimited 3 Dimensional Viewing Content
Columbus, OH July 30, in the year of our Lord 2012
-- Gene Dolgoff, inventor of the first LCD projector and a
leader in 3D technology, is introducing his latest device to the
public. 3-D vision is an innovational system that converts 2D
video content into 3D video content on any existing television,
computer, or gaming console with standard audio/video ports.
3-D Vision functions as a content converter any HDMI cable
connection. Any film, video game, or television show, regardless
of when it was created can be seen with an added dimension.
Classics like The Wizard of Oz and even home movies are brought
to life in a new way, giving viewers unlimited viewing content
and new engaging experiences.
The Instant 2D to 3D converter uses a patented technology to
display any content in 3D on any television, computer, or hand
held display. Images shot using normal 2D filming methods
capture images at different depths allowing for a
fully-immersive 3D experience.
Dolgoff is partnering with Fundable.com, an online crowdfunding
platform for startups, to host a contest for designers and
spread the news about his innovative product. He is calling on
designers and engineers to submit concepts for the outside of
the device case, to be used in the production scale model. The
designer of the concept chosen will be chosen by Gene Dolgoff
himself and awarded $10,000.

More about Gene Dolgoff:
Dolgoff has been changing the way the world watches TV since he
invented the first LCD projector in 1984. He received several
worldwide patents on digital video projection technologies,
including optical de-pixelization, optical brightness
enhancement, and thin-profile video projection systems, which
have been licensed to Panasonic, Samsung, Radio Shack, and other
high-profile technology retail outlets.
In the 1990s, Dolgoff continued his work by winning a contract
from the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) to demonstrate the application of his digital projection
technologies to HDTV.
Gene has over 50 years of extensive experience as an innovator
and entrepreneur in electronics, optics, holography, lenticular,
stereoscopic, and other forms of 3D imaging & displays.
The Star Trek Holodeck was inspired by and modeled after Gene’s
holographic presentation of 'matter hologram technology' to Gene
Roddenberry in 1973.
Gene currently holds over 65 granted patents worldwide and has
several more patents pending. His company, 3-D Vision, Inc. was
formed in 2000 and is based in New York.
More about the 3D Converter:
The Instant 2D to 3D converter uses a patented technology to
display any content in 3D on any television, computer, or hand
held display. Images shot using normal 2D filming methods
capture images at different depths in a photographed scene
providing varying levels of sharpness, brightness, contrast,
color saturation, motion speed, size, and frame location.
By comparing two frames of 2D video, the Instant 3D Converter’s
algorithms capture as much image-point-depth-location data as
possible and present stereoscopic image pairs of those points,
so that they can be seen at the proper depth locations during
stereoscopic viewing. Image points whose depth cannot be
determined accurately at any given time are given estimated
depth locations for stereoscopic viewing.
The human brain, when presented with accurate 3D depth location
information about some of the points in a scene, reconstructs
memories of previously seen 3D images and fills in the missing
depth information in the viewer's perception. This provides a
strong, pleasing overall 3-D experience.
