About us
Our history
INFITEC GmbH emerged from a research project at the former DaimlerChrysler Research Center in Ulm, Germany.
01
In 2003, Helmut Jorke founded his own start-up company called INFITEC GmbH. The aim was to apply and further develop the INFITEC method. The headquarters were located in Ulm at the time.
02
The single-projector solution with the INFITEC 3D filter wheel was developed by the Belgian company Barco in 2004. The corresponding patents were acquired by INFITEC GmbH in 2010.
In 2006, the WMT was licensed to the American company Dolby Laboratories, Inc. for use in digital cinema and marketed under the name Dolby 3D. As Dolby uses different wavelength ranges than INFITEC, Dolby glasses are not compatible with projectors equipped with INFITEC filters, and vice versa.
03
In 2011, INFITEC introduced a new generation of filters under the name “Excellence in 3D”. A new design of the transmission bands of the filters achieved a balanced color impression for both eyes. Previously, complex color correction was required for both stereoscopic channels, which sometimes required special video processors. Now, if necessary at all, the simple color adjustment that is integrated in many projectors is sufficient.

INFITEC GmbH develops, manufactures and sells interference filters for 3D projection technology and glasses equipped with these filters. In some cases, filters are also retrofitted to projectors. INFITEC GmbH is internationally active in purchasing and sales. INFITEC GmbH holds all patents and license rights (except for the cinema market held by Dolby Inc.) from simulation in industry and research institutes, planetariums and museums to major events, theme parks and home cinema solutions.
