Worlds First "No-Glasses" Cinema 3D Monitors!

Just announced by LG in Korea is the world's first glasses-free Cinema 3D monitor – and the company says it gives a taste of the company's commitment to a future where 3D TVs no longer need glasses to create stereoscopic images.

The 20in DX 2000 monitor, which sells for KRW1.29m (about £765), offers a solution to one of the major problems of such designs by using innovative eye-tracking technology to ensure the right pictures are sent to each 'channel'.

Conventional glasses-free 3D displays use a 'parallax barrier' system, in which a filter in front of the display – essentially a series of lenses, like a fresnel design – ensures each eye sees different pixels, thus creating the 3D image. That's all well and good, but even slight movements of the head or viewing position can cause the image to collapse into 2D, or just a blur.

LG's technology, which it describes as 'naked eye 3D' uses a webcam-style device built into the display to track the position of the eyes, thus ensuring the correct images are sent to each eye by adjusting the angle and distance of the 3D image.

The company says it's the first to combine eye-tracking and parallax barrier technologies, and free viewers to move to different angles and positions without losing the 3D image.

The display also has a 3D switch function to convert 2D movies, pictures and games.

This announcement means LG now has a presence in each of the three 3D 'camps' – active shutter, passive (using its FPR technology and polarised glasses) and glasses-free –, and it says it hopes to secure a leading position in the emerging 'no-glasses' 3D market.

Si-hwan Park, Vice President of the Monitor Division at LG’s Home Entertainment Company, says that 'With a full line-up of 3D TVs, laptops, projectors and smartphones, LG Electronics is by far and away the industry leader in all things 3D.

'LG’s position has always been that 3D will and must eventually function without glasses. The D2000 is a look at what the future has in store.'

The DX2000 is now on sale in Korea, and will be coming to other markets (as the D2000) later this year.

The only problem i see with it so far is that the "eye-tracking" technology can obviously only track one pair of eyes, but apart from that it's damn impressive!

Will believe it when I see it. LG's Stereoscopic monitor isn't all that impressive - you'd think they would try and perfect that first!

Plus the depth will be pants!

Nintendo 3DS?

if you get that at the right angle its pretty impressive. obviously would need to be bigger for a cinema....

Great for DK, but i have mates. So i'll pass.

 

[Pettsi]

Will this f**k with peoples eyes?

Will this f**k with peoples eyes?

as much as normal displays do.

saying that, mine hurt after playing with a 3DS in Game

But they are all on the end of a wire, don't think the tv is that big, so you'll be ok.

How's it the worlds first when there are other tvs, just not with the tracking thing, it's not the worlds first no glasses 3d tv, I saw one in harrods years ago, same thing but without the tracker, and it was s**t, even at the perfect angle.

3d needs glasses, period.

3D is done with, why are they bothering, its gash

when the car was first invented, people thought u would explode if u went over 30mph.

you can get good 3D without glasses, the 3DS proves this, just on a small scale.

 

[Snakey]

I always wonder why at cinemas a sheet of the (glasses you wear) isnt dinfront of the audience... hence creating the 3d effect withouth the glasses

Its s**t, lets focus on making all content high def, and increasing the resolution.

This! Why the f**k am I still not able to watch a f**king film in HD at the cinema!!!

you do realise that everything you see at the cinema is in an infinately higher resolution than 1080p....... dont you?

lol, glad someone else said it. its nice when you go to a screen with a digital projector though and theres no scratches or hairs on the screen, picture is much better than normal projectors at cinemas.

3ds is s**t, i bought one and all it does is make me feel sick.

Why are comparing proper 3D to the 3DS? It's a bit mongish..

You need glasses for any kind of decent depth. End of story

Because the sheet is actually two sheets, over each eye.

Until you just said that......I didn't really think about it .
You understand my point though, how far away from a crystal clear HD cinema sized picture are we?

Most digital projection is only 4K. Proper iMax dumps all over it for outright detail.
