Toshiba To Launch No-Glasses 3D TV This Year

angry tapir writes "Toshiba is readying two 3D televisions that can produce images with the illusion of depth but don't require the user to wear glasses, the company said Monday. It will launch the televisions in Japan in December. Toshiba will offer a 12-inch model and a 20-inch model. They'll cost around ¥120,000 (US$1,430) and ¥240,000 respectively. Toshiba's new TVs have a thin sheet of small lenses in front of the display. This splits light from the screen and sends it to nine points in front of the TV."

Like the Nintendo 3DS, this will require that you look directly at the screen to see the 3D effect.
Wait, so if I look at my feet instead of the screen, I won't see the 3D effect? What a rip-off!
