Lightspeed Design has been a leader in stereo 3D for sixteen years, developing landmark hardware and software technologies. We are a trusted stereoscopic technology provider to the most discerning clientele, assisting in a wide range of disciplines – from pharmaceutical, to surgical systems, to 3D film production.

DepthQ® HD 3D Video Projector

An affordable, portable, high-definition 3D projector that delivers rock-solid 120 Hz stereo 3D at a fraction of the cost of other single-lens 3D projectors.

Stereoscopic Software

DepthQ®PlayerTM is our feature-packed software solution for the processing and playback of stereo 3D movies from a standard off-the-shelf PC at HD resolution (1920x1080) and beyond. DepthQ® CaptureTM captures, processes and digitizes streaming full-motion stereoscopic video from two sources simultaneously. The captured 3D video can be monitored in realtime with extremely low latency, or recorded to the hard disk in an AVI format for playback. In development: DepthQ® Broadcast ServerTM encodes and broadcasts live 3D video over IP. DepthQ®s3DTM WebPlayer receives stereoscopic 3D video from live or prerecorded IP video streams via a standard web-browser and Flash technology.

Custom 3D Installations

Lightspeed Design has been engineering and installing custom 3D Cinemas, Theaters and Industrial Visualization Centers since 1997, with dozens to our credit. While technology has surged forward since that first installation, Lightspeed has kept pace by constantly testing new innovations and actively developing 3D projection and software technologies. Our extensive knowledge creating immersive 3D theaters, paired with hands-on involvement in developing the industry, means reliable performance and satisfied audiences.

Surgical Display Systems

Lightspeed provides design and installation of custom projection systems for integration with Intuitive Surgical, Inc.’s - da Vinci® Surgical Systems, as well as a standardized product for patient-side assist - the DepthQ® MobileTM 3D Visualization Suite. DepthQ® MobileTM integrates high-quality stereoscopic display with our DepthQ® ServerTM and DepthQ® CaptureTM software in a compact, height-adjustable and mobile package.
