3D TV without Glasses not quite launched
PHILIPS HAS BEEN showing off a television which shows a 3D picture without needing glasses. Unless you were already wearing glasses, that is.
Philips boffins have been demonstrating a prototype which combines slightly different angles of the same image.
This means that the video appears to have different depths as your eyes look at. Unfortunately the image is uneven, blurry and sometimes two dimensional, just like Spinola's vision after imbibing a crate of the Editor's scotch.
Philips' Bjorn Teuwsen said that in a few years these will be in homes. We notice that he didn’t say whose homes they would be in.
Apparently models have been sold to corporations, mostly movie theatres and casinos, where they are used for advertising signs.
Philips claims the product is not yet ready for consumer rollout. µ

You know if all media was published in a 3D format, people would have no choice but to use 3D glasses.

Or China could adopt the above and maybe reduce any media addiction.
I was working at screen expo in Amsterdam in February this year and in the Sony stand they had a (I think) 60" 3d TV. It was very deep but the picture quality was very good. I have a picture or 2 but only taken on a 3mp phone.
I've seen the previous incarnation of Philips 3D display and I can say that it looked horrible comparing to the IMAX image quality. I don't think that using polarizing glasses is so inconvenient. Actually, blurry and strange - looking picture is much worse for a consumer.
Correct Me if i'm Wrong, yet if you line up Curve of Screen with Curve of Universe it goes 4D. Engineers are furiously Working to get to 5D So CEO Can go infineron.

saw a glasserless 50" 3d HD screen at the IPTV world forum

from what I can tell it was using alternate slices of the FOV to feed each eye. so it looked great if your head was in the sweet spots and blury and wierd if you weren't. At about 14ft from the screen the sweet spots were about the same distance apart as your eye's are so it was easy to find one without moving more than 6 inchs. All the sweet spots in about a 30 degree wide angle from the screen looked great, after that started looking wierd. so 5-6 people could stand/sit next to each other and all see high quality 3D.

The reason it's not consumer ready is everyone has different width living rooms and the screen is tuned to look great at a certain distance.

looked lovely to me though
