SBIR Phase II: 3D Volumetric Image Display

这个小企业创新研究的第二阶段项目是开发一种新的计算机外围设备：一种在真实空间中显示3D图像的体积图像显示系统。许多观众不用戴特殊眼镜，就可以在显示屏周围走动，全方位观看3D图像。与此项目相对应的总体业务目标是开发和实施构建VID产品所需的技术，证明市场可行性，并完成第三阶段的财务准备。为了加速商业化，基本模型产品将在第一年完成。它将具有灵活的配置和良好的规格，以满足各个领域的初始需求。营销将在第二年开始测试市场和寻求商业联盟，使用基本模型作为示范平台和评估产品。将建立小批量生产程序以支持初始销售。在第二年，进一步改善产品颜色和灰度的技术将被开发和展示。我们已经有了第三阶段的资金承诺。根据市场可行性和技术准备情况，将编制新的商业计划，以筹集额外的资金承诺，完成第三阶段的财务准备。营销目标还包括从一家大公司获得至少一份开发合同，作为第三阶段融资的一部分。市场分析表明，在医疗、计算机辅助设计和工程、视觉数据分析和计算机游戏四个主要领域具有巨大的商业潜力。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project is to develop a new computer peripheral: a Volumetric Image Display system that displays 3D images in a real space. Many viewers can walk around the display and see the 3D images from omni-directions without special glasses. The overall business objectives corresponding to this project are to develop and implement the technologies required for building the VID product, to demonstrate the market viability, and to complete the financial preparation for Phase III. In order to speed up commercialization, a Basic Model product will be completed in year 1. It will feature a flexible configuration and good specifications to address the initial need in various fields. Marketing will then begin in year 2 to test market and seek business alliances, using the Basic Model as a demonstration platform as well as an evaluation product. A low-volume manufacturing procedure will be established to support initial sales. In year 2, techniques that further improve product color and gray scale will be developed and demonstrated. We already have a Phase III funding commitment. Based on the demonstrated market viability and technical readiness, a new business plan will be prepared to raise additional funding commitments to complete the finance preparation for Phase III. The marketing goals also include obtaining at least one development contract from a major corporation, as part of the Phase III finance. Market analysis indicates great commercial potential in four major segments: medical, computer aided design and engineering, visual data analysis, and computer gaming.
