Sharp 3D Monitor Next Year
dOxxx writes "Sharp is bringing out a 3D monitor next year that requires no special glasses. It took them one day to convert Quake to work with the monitor. They are already selling cellphones in Japan for the NTT DoCoMo network with scaled-down versions of the screen."
For example, the 3D images are best viewed from 40 centimeters away
My eyes! They burn, they burn!!
If someone says something to the effect of "Think what this will do for porn", I will kick his nuts. Think what THAT will do for porn.
...a Beowulf cluster of these? What will this do for virtual orgies?!?!? This is a great time to be alive.
As opposed to those damned dull 3D monitors...
How long before some bozo starts making 3D ASCII Art? You KNOW someone will...
A Minesweeper clone that doesn't suck
Would there be any advantage in using more than two layers?
Not really, it would enable the display to draw 4D objects. However, our brains have not evolved to ability to understand 4D, so you'd probably just get a headache.
Hey, think what this will dooOOOOOOGHHHHHHH!
eep
Can you imagine the poor sap that is sitting with his face just about 1.3 feet away from his screen with a TV card on his/her computer watching the big fight or some huge sports event?
"I have a cramp in my neck and I haven't moved out of this uncomfortable position in 3 hours but MY GOD... It looks like I'm gonna get sacked when they rush the quarterback! The chiropractor bills are worth it!"
"Want some chips?"
"I can barely BREATHE without the image distorting, let alone eat man!"
Let's hope they improve this before unleashing it on the masses.
----- I want my LART.
Do I now have to duck before a popup window cleans me up?
I saw a picture of one of these things on the web, but it looked pretty 2-D to me.
Damn JPEG Compression! My eyes hurt!
None. But somehow I'm sure one-handed web surfers everywhere are celebrating.
If you wanna get rich, you know that payback is a bitch
Whenever I can I try to bring in a Shadowrun Reference. Hopefully without glasses, and hopefully soon they'll eliminate the box, and then eliminate the viewing angle and we'll have the wonderful world of trideo that will revolutionize TV viewing!
Oh wait, same crap, new dimension.
"3 Dimensions and not a damn thing to watch." *rimshot* *tomato splat*
Ow! My Eye!
Although several companies have come out with Web browser software and other technology to make images appear to pop off the screen, the Web largely remains a two-dimensional world.
