Acer To Launch 3D Notebook In October?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday June 8, 2009 @10:44AM from the jumping-right-out-at-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Acer is planning to announce a 3D notebook computer by end of October. If Acer indeed comes out with a 3D laptop then it'll be the world's first manufacturer to do so. The most interesting thing about Acer's machine is that it requires no special glasses. The 15.6-inch notebook features built-in software which can convert regular 2D movies to 3D and directly support 3D movies." Update: 06/08 23:18 GMT by T : According to the linked story, the no-glasses version is still in the works; the current iteration does still require special glasses.

CSI already has these. I know because I saw it on TV. They were also able to get High Res photos out of a .5MB security camera and spin it around in 3D.

"A few technological obstacles..."
All they have to do is get the whole 3D thing working.
