No Glasses Needed For TI's New 3D Display

Posted by timothy on from the you-may-still-need-them-for-driving dept.

adeelarshad82 writes "At the MWC, TI showed off a tablet-sized device with a 3D display that doesn't require glasses, running on an existing TI OMAP3 chipset. The 3D demo showed images and video in 3D by using a standard 120-Hz LCD with a special overlay film from 3M that can direct images either towards your left or right eye. By flickering two images very quickly, running at 60 frames per second rather than the usual 30, the display transmits a different picture to each eye, creating a simulated 3D image. The 3D picture can be created using a handheld with dual 3-megapixel cameras and an 800-MHz TI OMAP 3630 chipset."

    Great, now if only they could find a way to require no glasses on the person watching it.

    For those that didn't RTFA, it uses that technique where you have to move your head from left to right at 60-Hz

    Isn't Braille already 3d? Isn't that enough?
