First Look At Acer's 3D Laptop

Posted by timothy on from the but-what-about-time dept.

Barence writes "Acer today revealed the world’s first 3D laptop, the Acer Aspire 5738PG, which will launch alongside Windows 7 on October 22. It uses a combination of software and specially coated glass on the 15.4in screen, along with a standard set of polarised glasses. Initial impressions were a bit iffy, and whether anyone actually needs a 3D laptop is another question entirely, but we'll find out this month."

    Their marketing department already has. The issue is getting the engineers on board.

    Why do you think that gaming is the only possible use for this?

    How about: Medical imaging, military imaging, warehouse inventory control visualization, education, biological research, chemistry, physics modelling, and etc.

    Really, you just aren't even trying to be imaginative.
