Making the display in front of us as real as the world around us…
Nearly 200 Years of Viewing Glasses
3-Dimensional viewing is natural – we use two eyes to determine the depth and volume of objects in the world around us. Nearly two centuries ago, the first stereoscopes used reflecting mirrors or refracting prisms for 3D viewing. Through the decades, black and white evolved to color and still images evolved to motion pictures, but with few exceptions, 3D viewing has continued to require uncomfortable glasses or goggles. Until now.
A Seismic Shift
With the emergence of high-resolution display technology and advanced optics, a comfortable and natural 3D viewing experience is finally available without glasses.
Glasses-Free 3D offers consumers an exciting new viewing experience, but it also solves a critical need for the display industry too. Panel technology has now reached a resolution so high that it exceeds any consumer benefit in flat 2D – viewers simply cannot see the improvement with the naked eye.
Glasses-Free 3D harnesses the extra pixels of the high-resolution panels to create real value for device makers because the immersive and comfortable viewing experience gives consumers a compelling reason to purchase new devices.
