Several of interest to me are mentioned below. This uses a lenticular lens, which is typical, developed by NTT, along with an infrared sensor that can detect head movements to the right or left. This helps eliminate the need to keep a fixed position when using 3D displays without special glasses. Readers should note that similar work is also in progress at the ATR Labs in the Kansai region. The database allows tree searching, direct searching, browsing and repeat retrieval.
Applications are to electronic museums, catalogs, medical libraries, etc.
A multimedia teleconferencing system using B-ISDN for individual users with X window terminals. The idea would be to remove the need for uses to go to a special teleconferencing site. Up to 20 difference sites can be conferenced and allows up to 11 windows with full-motion video. Two separate video sources are allowed per terminal and there is the option for an attached 300dpi scanner. Several kilometers away from the lab NTT has built a house and linked it with optical fiber that can multiplex-transmit data at speeds of several Mbps up to several hundred Mbps on a single optical fiber.
