No longer active as of Spring 2004, the Spatial Imaging Group at the
MIT Media Lab developed new technology and interfaces for high-quality
3D display
A 3D display is a display device capable of conveying depth perception, depth to the viewer. Many 3D displays are stereoscopic displays, which produce a basic 3D effect by means of stereopsis, but can cause eye strain and visual fatigue. Newer ...

The lab's research included: designing new
hologram formats and
optical printers; electro-holographic displays and methods for computing holograms; spatial interaction and information design; rapid rendering for spatial displays; and viewer-tracked
autostereoscopic
Autostereoscopy is any method of displaying stereoscopic images (adding binocular perception of 3D depth) without the use of special headgear, glasses, something that affects vision, or anything for eyes on the part of the viewer. Because headg ...
