3D displays that require you not to wear a pair of glasses? Those have been around for some time already, but the image quality that you get isn’t exactly top notch compared to those systems that require you to shed a little bit of your pride so that you can put on a pair of glasses and let superior graphics (and perhaps storytelling) blow you away. Since I am a […]
NICT and JVC Kenwood have pitted their brains together to roll out the 200″ auto-stereoscopic Full HD 3D display that is touted to show video from 57 – yes, count ’em, 57 different angles! Basically, this means different people are able to walk right around the screen and actually see around corners or even better – behind objects.
Sony’s upcoming official 3D display for the PlayStation, was unveiled at this year’s E3 in June and then later revealed to have a November 2nd release date for Japan. If you were wondering what about the US or the rest of the world? Well, Sony has just announced that its PlayStation 3D display will be available on November 13th 2011, which should be in time for the holiday shopping season.
Stereoscopic 3D is definitely the way forward, but in the mean time, the adoption rate for 3D TVs as well as the Nintendo 3DS and 3D-capable smartphones aren’t too encouraging since most people see it not as a necessity but more of a novelty instead. IEE, Inc. might want to turn that perception around as they have integrated 3M’s revolutionary 3D film that does not need any 3D glasses to […]
While it seems that in the past, Apple has not really displayed any indication that they might be making the move to 3D displays, following in the footsteps of other devices such as the HTC EVO 3D and the LG Optimus 3D, it appears that a recent patent filing revealed that Apple’s designs for a multilayer display will be able to display 3D images without the need for special glasses.
LG of South Korea has just announced yet another 3D glasses-free monitor, known as the DX2000. This will be a 20″ wonder, making you feel as though your Nintendo 3DS has just been blown up manifold times. There really isn’t any impetus at this moment to purchase a 3D glasses-free monitor simply because the number of software that supports stereoscopic 3D on the computer is clearly lacking in numbers. Still […]
Fans of 3D displays will be overjoyed to hear that Acer has introduced its GH245HQ display that offers full support for NVIDIA’s HDMI 3D solution.

The display was announced in the UK for about GBP420 ($675) and is a 24-inch display that supports full HD […]
With more news surrounding a glasses-free 3D display existence, AUO is promising that its panel, which the company is showcasing at the FPD International 2010 will be the first 3D panel that will not have a deadzone; prior 3D technologies required users to be around the center of the screen to view the images or videos. The panels will be shown off in a 15.6-inch 1080p HD notebook and a […]
Hyundai IT seems that it wants to get in on the 3D game too as the South Korean company has introduced its 24-inch 3D stereoscopic LCD monitor, the W243S. The monitor comes bundled with software that will allow you to convert standard 2D video content into a 3D version. The display offers a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution display, along with HDMI 1.3, DVI, and D-sub video outputs. It’ll set […]
Official details on the upcoming 3D-capable Nintendo 3DS haven’t been unveiled just yet, but word is that the portable console will sport two different screen designs, a tilt sensor, and will be quite powerful. From the latest leak, it seems that the 3DS could offer users a larger 3D display on the top half of this clamshell console, while the bottom screen will sport similar specifications of the original DS’ […]
Nintendo promised that games on the next Nintendo hardware could be enjoyed in (stereo) 3D without glasses. That sounds nice, but right now, we’re more interested in knowing what kind of hardware hides beneath this pair of high-resolution displays (the rumors say 720p displays, but that seems exaggerated). What is more likely, is that Nintendo’s use of a “sensor” (understand: a camera?) to track users’ head motion will probably enable […]
The 3D effect can’t be captured by a camera, but the cans are supposed to “pop out” Designed for the advertising market, this 50” monitor can display stereo 3D without requiring viewers to wear glasses. The technology is called autostereoscopy and there are several implementations. This is one of the more successful demonstrations that I have seen since last year. The typical problem of autostereoscopy is that the resolution appears […]
