That appears nonsensical. It is easier to check viewing angles on a smaller screen, not harder.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but these photoframes don't need glasses, and convert 2D to 3D. ]]>Mar 25th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/Mar 25th 2010 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/I'm just going by what I saw in the store - the image was completely 2D, but then I press a '3D' touch button on the frame and it appeared in 3D. The effect was as if it split the picture into many 2D 'layers', it was quite a cool gimmick, not sure I would splash out on it though. ]]>Mar 25th 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/Mar 25th 2010 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/
Sounds like the frame was turning it into 3D. An actual 3D picture would have full accurate depth. It probably just does edge detection, decides a good depth for the objects on the page, and sticks them there.]]>Mar 25th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/Mar 25th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/Mar 25th 2010 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/Mar 25th 2010 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.3dvirtualstore.com

I'm trying to figure out how this works from an occular standpoint. Wouldn't you be able to tell that your still looking at a 2d display?]]>Mar 25th 2010 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/
The downside is that you have to sit in the right place to see it. It's possible that there are multiple locations that will work, but inbetween each of these locations the images will go to the wrong eyes and it will look wrong.

Crucially *YOU CAN'T MOVE YOUR HEAD MORE THAN ~1 INCH* for *any* non-head-tracking glasses-free 3D display. Think about it - if you move your head a couple of inches to the left, your right eye will be seeing what your left eye was previously (i.e. the wrong image). Unless the display knows where your head is, or is a true 3D display (i.e. more than 2 viewpoints), there is no way to avoid this.

Also, I expect that what engadget thinks is 2D->3D conversion, is really just switching between 2D and 3D video.]]>Mar 25th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/Mar 25th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/Mar 25th 2010 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/Mar 25th 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/Mar 25th 2010 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/

but, for sitting back and watching a good ol blockbuster movie, it's good. we've had similar issues with sound for 3d-surround, dolby digital, etc. we've all gotten used to positioning ourselves in the middle of the speaker fray to get the full surround experience. this is just another thing you gotta do to get your 3d on. i'm sure people will adjust eventually.]]>Mar 25th 2010 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/i3ds-glasses-free-prototype-screen-aims-to-take-on-all-of-3ds/
