A Cost Effective Way to Use 3DTV as a Teaching Tool

Look closely at the background of this video and you will see an autostereoscopic 3D display. The cool thing about this type of display is that one doesn’t need glasses to view the 3D images. As explained by Rob Koplin of Elixir XES 3D, the first application for the displays was in the medical industry (think 3D surgeries). They then extended it to the movie industry (trailers) and casinos.

Along the way, they discovered that 3D techology can be the foundation for new teaching tools for children with dyslexia and autism. Koplin shared the findings of a white paper, created in conjunction with the Gemstone Foundation, as to the benefits of this technology for kids with special needs. Watch this exclusive video interview to learn about the unique model Elixir XES 3D has for bringing this to schools with minimal to no investment by the schools.
