Visual Dominance: The Colavita Effect

When presented with multiple sensory stimuli – the brain favors vision.

Can 3D Save Lives? NASA thinks so.

Luggage Screening Troubling signs for aviation safety. Christopher Elliott, Special for USA TODAY 10:58 a.m. EDT April 4, 2016

An internal report last year revealed that inspectors posing as passengers successfully smuggled weapons past TSA agents in 67 out of 70 tests.

A second round of testing later in the year showed little improvement..

3D Luggage Screening

• Greater Accuracy in Detecting Contraband • Fewer Passenger Delays • Fewer Searches (due to increased accuracy) • Less Operator Fatigue • Increased Efficiency (TSA workforce multiplier) • May replace current 2-D scanners worldwide • Public Buildings, Schools and Industry

3-D X-Ray Luggage Scanner

User Experience Requirements

• Image quality with stereo depth cues • Maintain stereo during head movement

• Full resolution and brightness

Glasses-Free 3D for Serious Use Cases

Improved Situational Awareness Improved Command and Control

Improved Monitoring, Safety and Security

If we can do better; we must do better.

Glasses-Free 3D for Serious Use Cases
