DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD) today announced that it had entered into a three-year,
world-wide license agreement with Sharp Corporation ("Sharp") whereby a range of
DDD software products will be bundled with Sharp's new 3D laptop PC that is
based on Sharp's revolutionary new 3D "glasses-free" liquid crystal ("LC")
display.
The software products to be licensed under the agreement include DDD's TriDefTM
Movie Player software, that will allow end users to play feature length 3D
movies on the Sharp laptop, and TriDef Photo Viewer software and the TriDef
Visualizer OpenGL(R) software. DDD will also provide Sharp with 3D content
including highly acclaimed feature length large format 3D movies and 3D still
images created using DDD's TriDef Transformer 2D to 3D conversion and
presentation software.
"We were very impressed by the features of DDD's TriDef range of software
products and the quality of the 3D images they deliver to our 3D LC display,"
said Dr. Makoto Nakamura, Division General Manager, Mobile Computing Systems
Division. "Our partnership with DDD helps us drive demand for our new 3D laptop
PC by ensuring that there is the widest possible range of high quality 3D
content and applications for our end users."
"We are very honored to have been chosen by Sharp to provide our capabilities
for their new 3D laptop PC," said Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive of DDD. "The
new Sharp display, with its ability to operate in both 3D and standard 2D
viewing modes, is an exceptional platform on which to showcase the market
leading products and services we have developed in recent years. We have always
believed that DDD will play a role in the mass market adoption of the 3D viewing
experience and this is an extremely important commercial milestone for the
company."
