3D without the glasses

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Special glasses to view 3D movies have been around for decades, almost representing a bad theatrical cliche -- rows of eyeglass-clad teens screaming, for instance, as an ax from the latest slasher film comes bolting out of the screen.



With a 3D-equipped laptop today and 3D television on the way, Toshiba is taking the glasses off. At this week's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world's sixth largest flat panel TV manufacturer introduces an LCD 3D display that dispenses with the glasses at a 120 Hz refresh rate.



Toshiba will demonstrate concept models of glasses-free 3D notebook PCs and of tablet PCs running the Android and Windows operating systems, Toshiba spokesperson Eric Paulsen told TechNewsWorld.



Toshiba will also show how it has realized glasses-free 3D now, and display the world's first commercialized LCD TVs that do away with dedicated glasses, he added.

Nice, that's the 3DTV I've been waiting for/ looking to see how it turns out. The glasses aren't cumbersome in weight, but are just awkward to deal with to watch something and look kinda' stupid - and people that use glasses (not me) can have a harder time with the glasses, too.

Sweet! If this is sucessful I won't have to wear 2 pairs of glasses

Although there might be a bit of a doubt considering 3D is an illusion
