3D, S3D and S3D® : What are the differences ?
As far as the VISUALIZATION is concerned the use of the term “3D“ very often is misleading or at least normal user (= potential customer !!!) could understand it in a misleading way.
Especially in the DDC (Digital Content Creation) area “3D“ normally does just express the use of 3-dimentional object models or data, however in most of the cases the visualization is possible ONLY in 2D !
By hearing or seeing the expression “S3D” the normal user will and should automatically put the question about what is DIFFERENT in comparison to “normal 3D”.
This is the base to give the right answer and information to the user – avoiding the risk that he, as a POTENTIAL CUSTOMER, does assume that the talk is (again) just about a “flat 3D visualization” like in most of the cases, e.g. in the internet. _____________________________________________________
Therefore the term “S3D” has been created by Lutz Moehr.
“S3D” (without trademark indication) can and should be used as an indicator of a “Stereoscopic 3D visualization related matter”, what means that finally 2 (slightly different) images for the left and right eye could be generated.
“S3D®” as trademark for products and services has been registered by Lutz Moehr and will be primarily used as QUALITY label and REFERENCE level – not least with the intention to help potential user to be able to recognize good quality products (hardware and content) and by this way to protect their healthiness.
Companies and private people are free and welcome to apply to DNS Consult (Lutz Moehr) for licensing the “S3D®” as trademark for their products and services.
The “S3D®-Business-Club” is a private initiated but open and easy accessible Community of interest for manufacturer and user of S3D-enabling products (hardware, software and content) _____________________________________________________
