Magnetic and NEC partner to deliver 3D sans glasses

[Silversurfer]

Seems to be quite a bit of 3-D news today, as you will see from my other posts today regarding the BBC broadcasting the six Nations rugby in March in 3-D, could it be the leap year? anyway here's another quote from Engadget.com.

"While calling it the holy grail of 3D may be a stretch, there's no denying that the technology has been largely held back and (rightfully) seen as a gimmick due to the whole "unsightly glasses" requirement. Granted, this isn't the first time we've heard of 3D being experienced sans goggles, but the newfangled agreement between Magnetic and NEC could deliver just that to a display near you very soon. Reportedly, the duo is off demonstrating a 57-inch Enabl3D display at the Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas, and while this iteration is admittedly aimed at commercial users, the promise of seeing imagery "pop more than a foot off the screen without the use of any special glasses" sure sounds intriguing. No word on when this stuff will be coming to everyday users, but don't be shocked to see marketers coming up with new ways to grab your attention (and frighten the young) with this in the near future.

Hi All,

Just to point out that Phillips have been doing this for a few years now with thier WOW3d series of screens, they require no glasses or software. The only draw back is that they are expensive, around the £6,000 mark.
