Which?: 3D TV without glasses at CES 2010

Prototypes on display at CES 2010 showed autostereoscopic 3D TV, or 3D without glasses, giving a clue of how things might work in the future. Get the full report at http://www.which.co.uk/ces2010

does it work with very fast frames showing us 2 different images almost at the same time or not????

[WhichWebsite]

@newbornalien Yes, but instead of using glasses to separate out the picture for each eye it uses a paralax screen which angles each image slightly differently to give the effect of depth. The downside being there is a very small sweet spot for the 3D effect and the resolution is much lower.

By using this type of technology, not necessarily this model can source images be duplicated on the different viewing angles of the screen ?

In other words can a 2 frame stereoscopic 3D source be duplicated to fill 6 angles of the screen so that me and two other people can watch in 3D ? Obviously sat at just the right spacing and with eyes horizontal to the screen

@morgs2020 That wasn't shown on this TV and we haven't seen it in the flesh but there have been news stories in the last year about TVs hat could do exactly that.

I take it you have to see it in person because the video cant capture it and if it could and or is then im not impressed.

@gamegod19 The camera didn't do a good job of capturing the image. In person it was a lot better, however it was still quite basic. What it did show was that there is potential for glasses-free 3D to work. It will be a long way off yet though.

REAL LIFE: NEWEST TECHNOLOGY OF 3D!! NOW BEHIND EVERY FRONT DOOR, DONT MISS IT!

rafl.

But will it blend!?

[ptuku]

@arand4 maybe because it doesn't has an economical price yet?

[ptuku]

@zimtower that's gibberish... lenses are needed to angel the ray's differently, and I would prefer a cheap plastic sheet of tiny lenses compared to what you were speaking of. xD

WRONG!Resolution depends on company choices...

Also , THERE ARE 3 SPOTS ; it varies from company to company , but generally , it goes from 38° to 50° (some companies said even more with different technologies); also,consider that,on a flat surface,the viewing angle is 180° and that you can find more spots ,like so :lateral left 38+ center 38+ lateral right 38...got it ?

Also,a few feet far,the spot is small,but take some more steps away and the angle projection gets wider...allowing more people.

this is all rubish, I've been on IFA "German equivalent of CES" some years ago and I've seen a TV like this there, I didn't need glasses at all and I even could walk from side to side and see that take effect. how can it be that these TV's are still not on sale? the technology exists for years already

Nothing's indeed impossible with technology. Only time, patience, resources and knowledge limits it.

[zimtower]

One day we will have TVs that have LEDs that can change angles for 3D effect without having to use a lens over the screen.
