Abstract
An end-to-end three dimensional (3D) content delivery system must be able to make use of a range of different sources and types of 3D content, and be able to deliver high quality images through any of a number of stereoscopic 3D display technologies. This chapter looks at 3D picture formats for storage and transmission and how these map to current and future display devices and content sources. In addition, connectivity and standardization issues in end-to-end 3D display applications are considered.
