Market Trends of Mobile 3D Industry
Gaming Applications are Expected to Account for the Largest Share
- Many individuals turned to gaming for amusement amid the lockdowns brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic as they spent more time at home. The number of players, as well as the time and money spent on online gaming, have all increased due to this. Skill-based online gaming has become increasingly popular as it exercises a player's mental or physical level of expertise. The gaming industry will be driven by the development of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) and the move toward the Metaverse in the future.
- May 2022 - Acer launched a gaming laptop with a stereoscopic 3D display. This will offer a glasses-free 3D gaming experience rendering technologies to beam two separate views of the same scene into your left and right eyes. The result can give the illusion of depth in a picture, giving the user the impression that you are looking at a three-dimensional item.
- March 2022 - Leia Inc. launched a 3D AI tablet to provide a truly immersive 3D calling, streaming, gaming, and content creation and sharing experience without using any eyewear. Leia also collaborated with Stability.AI to develop LeiaDream, the first integrated generative art software that lets users express their creativity and create AI art using text in 3D.
- May 2022 - Looking Glass introduced the largest holographic 3D display with a 65-inch screen size at GamesBeat Summit. Because of its enormous size, it is perfect for group viewing applications in engineering, design, 3D storytelling, and experiential marketing.
Asia-Pacific Expected to be the Fastest Growing Market
- China is the biggest movie market in the world, coming in second place to the United States. Due to the country's growing need for entertainment, China also boasts the most movie screens. The cinema owners are looking into novel ways to boost foot traffic. The use of 3D displays is driving these movie fans' share. More than 500 3D screens have been installed in cinemas worldwide, with about 80% in China.
- Efun Technologies, a producer of optical films, collaborated with US-based RealD to create 3D movie theater screens and became an exclusive supplier of these displays in China.
- A group of researchers from Beihang University in China, under the direction of Professor Qiong-Hua Wang, have created a tunable liquid crystal grating-based holographic 3D display system with a big scale and wide viewing angle. Thanks to technology, using two different hologram creation techniques simultaneously allows for a wide viewing angle and an increased size.
- Shenzhen MetaVision plans to offer cutting-edge XR devices for enterprises across verticals globally. The manufacturer developed an interactive real-time 3D (RT3D) VR display system, the world's thinnest VR headset at just 16mm.
