Read full description

E3DPlayer is a naked-eye 3D playback software app independently developed by Shenzhen3D Metaverse Technology Ltd. Its main features include 3D playback, 3D creation, real-time 2D to 3D conversion, and online 2D to 3D playback. The built-in eye-tracking technology captures the position of the user's eyes through the front camera, and based on the user's eye position and interpupillary distance, it customizes and generates a corresponding visual angle image in real-time. The 3D display algorithm adapts to various environments, with a neural network-based algorithm that automatically learns to make the image follow the user's eyes, ensuring consistent viewing experience. This significantly enhances the stability of the 3D display effect and viewing comfort.
