3DIcon is a developer of groundbreaking 3D projection display technologies that are being designed to produce full color, 360-degree volumetric high-resolution images. The company's mission is to surpass current 3D technologies by creating true-to-life 3D images that occupy a 3D space and appear fully formed as viewed from any angle without any special viewing aids. The commercial applications for 3D imaging technologies are projected to approach a market size of well over $7 billion by 2018. General applications include Healthcare and Medical, Industrial, Media and Entertainment, Defense and Security and Architectural and Engineering. The company recently achieved a historic breakthrough in the development of 3D display technologies with the creation of a working laboratory prototype of its proprietary 3D display system CSpace®. CSpace® renders high-resolution, 360-degree, three-dimensional images without any viewing aids. 3DIcon's CSpace® technology is expected to be scalable to large volumes, high resolutions, and will eventually support full color images. This technological breakthrough represented by CSpace® has been recognized by the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, which issued 3DIcon patents in December of 2010 and September 2012. Patents #7,858,913 and 8,247,755 were issued to 3DIcon for "Light surface display for rendering a three-dimensional image" and "3D Volumetric Display." These patents strategically position the company to lead the emergence and commercialization of volumetric 3D display technologies. In 2011 3DIcon launched Pixel Precision®, a software product that targets the R&D market for developers using Texas Instruments' DLP line of products.
