3D Video Converters

This MIT Video Software Turned 2D Footage of Soccer Into 3D Footage of Soccer

— November 5, 2015 — Tech
This MIT video software can take 2D film and automatically turn it into far superior 3D film.

Working with the Qatar Computing Research Institute, the MIT video team developed a program that can take any two-dimensional footage and transform it into a three-dimensional video instantaneously. This means that sports events, concerts and even news could be broadcast live in three dimensions.

This will have massive applications for film that can be viewed through virtual reality headsets and 3D-capable television sets. Although these devices already exist and are fully functional, media outlets haven't caught up and there tends to be a lack of content that can be experienced in 3D. Once it's commercially offered, this MIT video software will completely solve that problem, as it will be able to turn any filmed content into 3D content!
Trend Themes
1. 3D Conversion Technology - This MIT video software can transform 2D footage into 3D, opening up opportunities for immersive experiences through virtual reality and 3D-capable devices.
2. Real-time 3D Broadcasting - The development of this program enables the live broadcasting of sports events, concerts, and news in three dimensions, revolutionizing the way viewers experience visual media.
3. Expanding 3D Content Creation - The MIT video software will address the lack of 3D content by offering a solution that can convert any filmed content into 3D, opening up vast possibilities for film and media industries.
Industry Implications
1. Film and Television - The availability of this technology presents disruption in the film and television industry, as it allows for the creation of 3D content from existing 2D footage.
2. Virtual Reality - The integration of 3D conversion technology with virtual reality headsets enhances the immersive experience for consumers, creating new opportunities in the VR industry.
3. Broadcast Media - Real-time 3D broadcasting has the potential to revolutionize the way news, sports, and entertainment are delivered, disrupting the traditional broadcast media industry.
