"Depth: It's the great untapped dimension that monitor technology has been missing. Now an emerging New Zealand-based company has its eyes set on becoming to monitors what "Dolby" is to sound technology.

Deep Video Imaging is currently setting up its U.S. operations in the San Francisco Bay Area as the owner of licenses and patents to three-dimensional monitor technology. By combining the images generated by two overlayed flat-screen panels, its monitors can create 3D images using systems with any of the high-performance video cards available today.

The company is already selling 15-inch development units built by LG/Philips LCD, and is currently pursuing agreements with a number of U.S. and Asian manufacturers. Commercially available units are expected to be available in the first quarter of next year.

Target market segments include aviation, military, medicine, automotive, graphic design, and gaming, but company representatives claim the technology can also be tailored for watches and handheld devices." [PC World]
