Stereoscopic 3D has become increasingly popular in the last few years, with ever more films in the box office and several 3DTV channels. Next generation 3D-TV will avoid special glasses and instead use optical multiplexing directly in the display. For this purpose, several perspective views of the scene are required to give a realistic and smooth 3D experience. An efficient representation is then video-plus-depth, which allows rendering of multiple side-views and so makes the format independent of the display design. The talk will cover a brief history of 3D films, depth cues for experiencing the third dimension, 3D multiview display technology, methods for filming multiview, and compression approaches for these formats.
