I see where there are 3D projectors that require glasses. But, I wonder if glasses free projectors would ever become available. It would probably require a special screen.

These glasses-free displays use a worse technology than requiring glasses in my opinion. Lenticular 3D is an instant headache for me, at least I can stand an hour or two of polarized glasses. Active shutter glasses are also annoying, because I catch the flicker out of the corner of my eyes.

All home options at this point use active shutter too. While LG is supposed to be delivering a polarized display, but it'll only have half-resolution when viewing 3D content*.


*Look through the other 3D discussions to find where I predicted a half-resolution polarized display option. smile

Is the Nintendo 3DS using this Lenticular 3D technology? I was watching a couple of demos on Youtube and the 3D effect looked pretty good to me. But, if you get a headache after 10 or 15 minutes, then what is the use.

The 3DS is using a different technique. It's like the lenticular, but on a finer scale (uses a sandwich of liquid crystals, one for display and one to separate the images for the eyes). The problem with it is that it only works in a very small sweet spot. Fine for a portable game system that's always centered in view, and at arms length. But doesn't work for TV with multiple viewers at different distances.

Seems like the R&D departments are grasping at anything that comes along, just in case it sells.

I saw a lenticular 3D LCD screen at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago last week. It was mildly annoying. While it worked form multiple angles, I could not find a sweet spot. I could only get about 80% of the screen to be in ideal focus at a time. The remaining 20% looked out-of-phase.

The museum was excellent, by the way. One of the best science museums I've been to.

Except for that damned lenticular 3D LCD screen....

The U-505 (the only German submarine captured during WWII) more than made up for it. smile

Here's a few measly pics I took with my phone:
