Hello everybody, I'm new here and I've been reading a lot about the various 3d systems but I can not find much info about dolby 3d, it would be nice if someone could explain how it works (only the basics not all the details) and why aren't there any home solution for it, are shutter or polarized 3d better for computer gaming and 3-d films?

thanks

You can find a bit of information in these links.

It's based in color filters, but the left and right views are not projected at the same time, like in anaglyph, but one after the other alternatively. It doesn't need special screens like polarized solutions.

As far as I know, there is nothing available for home use, but theorically it's possible with a high refresh projector/display and accurate color calibration.

I've had a chat with a guy from infitec gmbh (the company which owns the patents) in June at Dimension 3 expo.
They make custom systems for each use. They can make frame sequential (like Dolby 3D cinema) with single projector or simultaneous dual-head with two projectors.

The RGB filters must be modified inside the projectors to match the very narrow-bands of the glasses and also require input color correction in order to producs accurate colors.
This can be done both in hardware or software.

The advantage of this system is that you can project on any white surface (it does not require silver screens).
The drawback : you do not know the price in advance, you have to ask infitec with detailes specs for your specific useage.
