Traditionally, 3D technology relies on the principle of binocular parallax; consequently, it necessitates that viewers wear polarized glasses or head-mounted devices. This setup allows viewers to perceive different images for each eye, thereby producing the 3D illusion. In contrast, autostereoscopic displays apply the same principle without the need for additional equipment; moreover, they present two main types: Parallax Barriers and Lenticular Lenses.
Moreover, Portwell aims to cut delays when converting 2D to 3D. To achieve this, the company partners with leading medical equipment makers to improve performance.
Specifically, this solution uses FPGA logic to speed up image synthesis. The system employs a dual-lens endoscope to mimic human vision, while the FPGA processes images for a real-time 3D display.
Indeed, medical experts hail this technology as a tool to boost surgical precision. By offering a clear 3D view of internal structures, it improves spatial awareness and helps to reduce errors.
Notably, Portwell’s technological approach boasts an impressively minimal delay time of just 49.8ms during its entire process, from image capture to display.
This performance surpasses even sophisticated graphics cards, ensuring display tasks are completed in under 60ms.
Portwell envisions revolutionizing surgeries with advanced 3D technology. Our goal is to set new benchmarks in medical imaging, ensuring real-time, high-precision procedures become standard practice worldwide.
