OSIRIS, or Original System for Image Rendition via Innovative Screens, is a research initiative focussed on technologies to advance holographic and augmented reality display capabilities - basically to advance things a step further towards holodecks. OSIRIS takes over where its sister project, HoloVision, left off.

Status: Ongoing

Scientific Goals (From Project Site)

The objectives of OSIRIS are to carry out new generations of 2D and 3D projection systems, with the help of innovative components technologies. This includes the realization of a common technological platform aiming at providing solutions for a broad range of applications.

It is the ONLY research Programme Worldwide targeting a full range of innovative projection systems:

• Free view point 3D projection technologies
  • 3D RPTV prototype with continuous parallax in 70o  Field Of View w/o glasses
    3D Digital Cinema equivalent to 10-15 views w/o glasses
• 3D Multi view Acquisition systems
  • Next generation 3D cameras
  • To feed content to above displays
    
• Ultra Slim RPTV concepts
  
  • 50 inch Screen size
    
  • HD resolution
    
  • 6 inch depth
    
  • 500 lm Brightness
• Tiled Projection Systems
  
  • Using innovative screen technologies from OSIRIS
• And developing new concepts for reducing screen gaps
• Laser Projectors
  • Using new laser modules from OSIRIS
  • And developing new concepts for speckle mitigation

Details

OSIRIS, (one of at least four projects to have launched in the same year, with the same name, rather unfortunately) is a project dedicated to improving 2D and 3D projection systems, by pushing the technologies as far as possible, withi a short timespan. Unlike its predecessor, OSIRIS uses a mix of private companies and research institutions, which has made it eligable for EU funding. The project is only just getting underway at time of writing, and no published results are yet out.
