3D without the glasses,- Velma would be pleased!

Toshiba does away with the glasses!
Toshiba has today released details of a prototype television that is capable of “low” resolution (1280x800 rather than 1920x1080 HD) 3D without the use of the previously compulsory glasses. The TV, measuring 21 inches, uses technology that has been scaled up from Nintendo’s still-in-development 3D handheld.
The TV, utilising an system called a “light field” display, is capable of displaying 3D effects through a 30 degree viewing angle.
We would not even begin to suggest that readers should rush out and buy this TV (even if it were available!) as the technology is in its infancy to say the least. However, we believe that Toshiba should be congratulated on this innovation as it heralds the first steps towards genuine “easy” 3D.
Other applications, of course, would include the eventual recreation of a “Holodeck” as seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Of course, the images would not have the substance as suggested in that series, but it would be a step along the way nonetheless!

We can't wait to be offering IT Support in 3D!
