Does that mean you won't need the 3D glasses when you use your Minoru 3D Webcam?
Wonky glasses, maybe, but my anaglyphs still rock when I run Crysis or Half-Life 2 with the stereo drivers.
Can't wait until no-glasses 3D is mainstream. Sucks that besides PC games there's not all that much 3D material out there *sadface*.
WHOA! Oh, anaglyphs...
While NECs approach may be novel or otherwise superior, autostereoscopic (3d with no glasses) displays have been around for a while in retail. A few years back researching at a defense contractor I was given a Sharp Actius laptop with a parallax barrier. Hit a button to activate the barrier, and voila and instant headache and eye fatigue inducing 3D... maybe that’s why it never took off.

I don't know much about this, but it sure looks fun. I didn't even know there were 3d glasses on the market yet, so I'm gonna check those out. Thanks, maty!
Also, I can't wait to see GoVegan go into a FRENZY after seeing that tasty-looking fish on the cover, a fish that happens to be a "unique individual" with a "personality" and a "family".
You can't eat Nemo.
Well, I imagine you could eat Nemo, but you'd have to find him first.
I've seen and heard this all before, over the last several years..At the end of the day 3D monitors seem to suck at 3D.
They never have and probably never will deliver what they promise.
Yes, one day every HD display will be depth-enabled, because starting from 2009, many movies will be released in 3D. But there is nothing wrong with goggles. The cheapest 3D displays (polarized or 120Hz) will rely on goggles, and so will 3D movie theatres. When I am watching a movie, I am captive in the dark for ~90 minutes, and do not give a shit about "uglying up my face with goggles".
exactly. New polarized glasses look just like sunglasses, none of that ugly red/cyan cardboard stuff. Anyone who thinks they are ugly is just ignorant of the technology, same as saying "Oh I have to use a computer- but for that I have to sit on a chair.. no thanks!"
There's a reason why they phased 3d movies out the first time around.
Yeah, just like when video games crashed with Atari in the 80s.
Thank god they never tried bringing that back after it proved an unprofitable failer. [roll eyes]
When is the touchscreen version of this coming out?
Non only will they be the rule but they WILL RULE! (jumping hi5 with self... feeling stupid bout it)
Personaly, I'm quite happy to were glass's.
The problem with all these "no glass's" displays is you have to be looking at the exact right angle, and anyone else in the room gets a 3d-inverted image.
Its a shame the industary is so scared of proper HMD tech, because with TOLED technology I'm sure really nice ones could be made these days.
Then we would not only have 3D, but our own personal viewpoint too. (which as Johney Lee demos; http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw is in many ways more "3d" feeling then steroscopicness)
