This requires a static overlay to bend the image. In the process, half gets angle seperated just right for the left eye, and half for the right eye. Of course, it'll be more lossy than that, so your horizontal resolution is probably just cut into 1/3 of what it was pre-3d.

AND, you have to stand within a 1ft square box for this to work, or you fall out of alignment.

The only way for this to work would be a system of mems lenses covering the surface of the tv, and a good tracking mechanism to determine where the user is. Downsides: It'll only work for like two people, and it's like two decades off.]]>Jan 10th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/Jan 10th 2010 2:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/+1]]>Jan 10th 2010 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/
I do believe that it will fail in it's current, glasses required, form.

Yes it's a natural step up from widescreen and HD, but HD is much better than SD. It was a huge step up in quality. 3D is different because it doesn't add anything, its not a big step up like HD was.

In Avatar I though the 3D distracted me from looking at the beautiful visuals. I haven't watched it in 2D but I'm sure it would be just as good.]]>Jan 10th 2010 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/

You are actually completely correct. I saw Avatar in 3D first. I was not all the impressed. But a week later I was still annoyed as to if I liked it or not so I went back and saw it in 2D.

I can't even begin to describe how MUCH better it was in 2D. I could actually see and focus on the visuals. It was brighter, clearer, crisper. I actually felt more immersed where as the 3D felt...I'm still not sure, but not good.]]>Jan 10th 2010 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/

Now... that was 17 years ago at the very least, since I know I was just a kid when I saw that (I'm 32). I know it was just a prototype back then, but are these people really telling me that the tech for 3D TVs didn't get even a little better after all this time? What happened, these companies forgot they had already developed the tech and started all over?]]>Jan 10th 2010 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/
This is from the Alioscopy website: "Alioscopy was founded in 1999 by Pierre Allio, who pioneered in glasses-free 3D displays and multiple view camera systems as early as 1986. Since then, a portfolio of patents covering all aspects of this groundbreaking technology has been registered."]]>Jan 10th 2010 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/
4-5 years ago, Alioscopy came to the Ad agency I was working at the time and showed the equipment off, it ws running off a plasma TV with special coating as notd by Engadget - intending to flog them off to the Ad people (who can afford the $100,000+ per unit), it was amazing but like I said, it was just too expensive - even for an ad agency to recoup the cost from selling ads in a shopping mall... also all the 3D rendering (from 2D stock) has to be done by them, so there's another cost involved... I think this is nothing more than Intel having too much cash and want to show off at CES than showing a real marketable technology - it had NOTHING to do with Intel.]]>Jan 10th 2010 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/
This demo had everything to do with Intel. Intel has been dipping into the 3D world for a short time now (http://scoop.intel.com/intru3d/). Last years Superbowl, they handed out 125 million 3D glasses for a few commercials, especially the preview for Monsters-vs-Aliens. Personally, I like the no-glasses area that they're venturing into, and yeah, it may help that a company with big pockets partner with the right companies to make this technology cheap and everywhere. My two cents...]]>Jan 10th 2010 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/

In any case, I also don't see the glasses as such a big deal. Perhaps it's because I wear glasses every day, so I don't feel like whining about this so much. It's nothing compared to the inconvenience that we'll have to deal with when brain implants for VR movies leave the prototype stage.
