i do not think so, except for the cases you live in the matrix, dude.]]>Jun 4th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/
quoting from the article: it sounds like Toshiba's sandwiched a special panel with gradient-index lenses between a high-speed polarizer and the typical color LCD

oh, that sounds exactly like SW solution, isn't it? do you guys can read? can you, really?]]>Jun 4th 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://freespace.virgin.net/m.nash/Toons/Baboon/baboon6.gif]]>Jun 4th 2010 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/Jun 4th 2010 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/
Am I missing something? "Sandwiching" specialized hardware between another piece of specialized hardware and a typical piece of hardware to get the job done doesn't sound like a software solution.

Mostly because it requires specialized hardware.]]>Jun 4th 2010 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/Jun 4th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/

Then couldn't you just display the same image to each eye for a 2d image, both red or both blue on that diagram?]]>Jun 4th 2010 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/Jun 4th 2010 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/
While this technique is interesting (arrays of software controlled lenses, cool) I think this story is being misrepresented without further verification.]]>Jun 4th 2010 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/
As for the bit about 3D and 2D simultaneously the image shows 3D in a window and 2D everywhere else. If you follow the picture link you can see better. This can easily be achieved on systems that use glasses just by showing the image twice on the 2D areas rather than switching between 2 different perspectives.]]>Jun 4th 2010 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/Jun 4th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/The polarisation tricks are used to synchronize a radial picture generation (with view angles). This can give an hologram look & feel.
They could perhaps make a better use of their radial technology: if they track the user's head and eyes (x/y/z), they can sync the "sweet spot" position to follow the middle of the two eyes. ]]>Jun 4th 2010 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/toshiba-prototype-display-does-2d-and-3d-at-the-same-time/
