Skolkovo to back new St. Petersburg 3D visualization display effort
Goldi S was set up last year
Sep 10, 2015
The Skolkovo Foundation has approved grant funding for Goldi S, a one-year-old spin-off of the St. Petersburg Peter the Great Polytechnic University (SPbPU) developing a new circular image visualization display, the SPbPU website announced. The actual developer of the technology is SPbPU’s Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics; Prof. Bolshakov who heads the Institute’s telematics chair is the project leader.
The project team is said to have developed a brand new technique for 3D object imaging and presentation, which is believed to require much fewer preparatory processes and less preliminary computing. The end product for the project is a display called "GolDi D," which the team claims offers a 360 degree view of 3D objects without use of special glasses or other devices. The solution ensures "high-quality 3D imaging with a vibrant color spectrum."
The product is expected to address the serious problems found in competitors’ solutions, SPbPU says, such as high cost, limited quality of imaging, and the necessity to process large chunks of data.
The developers believe the innovation could be used in navigation, computer-aided design, medical tomography, 3D object modeling for research and applied technical purposes, computer simulators and games, as well as in advertising and exhibition projects or in museums where new technology solutions may be an innovative and eye-catching way of attracting new clients or visitors.
