New Advance In 3D TV Technology

Posted by samzenpus on from the more-real-than-real dept.

sciencehabit writes "If you've pondered whether to sink a cool couple of grand into a fancy new three-dimensional TV but didn't want to mess around with those dorky glasses, you may want to sit tight for a few more years. Researchers at Hewlett Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, California, report that they've come up with a new 3D technology that not only doesn't require viewers to wear special glasses, but it also can be viewed from a wide variety of angles. The advance could propel the development of mobile 3D devices as well as TVs."

      That is not dead which can eternal lie

      Yet with strange eons even death may die.

      A bit more cryptic than Netcraft, honestly.

      Please, I know that this is Slashdot but not all of us speak in Perl. Could you at least try to say it in Python or something similar?

    Where can I pre-order my opt-out of all this 3D tech?

    I remember that scene from Back to the Future II all too well, thank-you-very-much! :P

      Apply to least-favored eye, starting just within the ridge of bone surrounding the orbit, and moving inward and down in a smooth enucleating motion. Avoid exposing delicate fabrics or electronic devices to aqueous and/or vitreous humors that may be released under pressure.

    I do not see how this is possible without changing the laws of the universe. Maybe some marketing person just decided they can re-define what 3D means.

    It's far, far, far, worse than that: HP did discover how to change the laws of the universe; but the best use that their marketing people could think of was '3d TV'.
