Glasses-Free 3D Panel Television from Toshiba
Toshiba is working on a line of panel televisions at least one of which is purportedly glasses-free (something consumers have been wanting). While it seems like a dream, 20 inch and 12 inch glasses-free 3D televisions are already on the market in Japan. Delivering a full-size glasses-free TV would be a huge coup for Toshiba, and potentially change the face of the 3D market forever.
In the Spotlight: 3D Glasses
Consumers are a long way away from glasses-free 3D viewing. That means that finding the right technology for your 3D entertainment system is essential. Bear in mind that you’ll be wearing your glasses for, on average, two hours non-stop, so a comfortable fit is nearly as important as functionality. One of the most consistent sets receiving positive reviews currently are 3Active by Dimensional Optics. Consumers like the lightweight frame and overall design that’s user friendly. Better still they have a strong price point of $85 compared to many other sets that cost over $200.

Nintedo 3DS Selling Like Hot Cakes
On March 27th the Nintendo 3DS hit the North American market and is selling like hot cakes. Gamers love the engaging 3D images without glasses along with other social applications like the StreetPass that allows wireless connection to other 3DS systems nearby. Thanks to Wi-Fi access, users will be able to keep their system constantly updated too. By May owners will be able to download games directly to their Devices. This combination appears to be a major success.
Glasses-Free Samsung 3D TV Not Coming Soon
When Samsung originally revealed plans for a 55” 3D TV that wouldn’t need glasses the implication was that it could be ready within 3 years. However, that claim has now been reined in – with the potential time frame being as much as a decade. Toshiba also claims to be working on glasses-free 3D viewing with the goal of results by years end, but whether that’s realistic remains to be seen. The main problem in getting these systems to work is that the 3D content has to be delivered to 32 different viewing spots for everyone in a room to get the effects. While consumers would applaud the change, the technology simply isn’t user-ready or affordable yet.
3D Technology for the Vending Industry
Coin machine operators may find new opportunities in 3D Technology as a way of delivering advertising. Elixir XES 3D, operating in Hollywood, CA launched the idea at the Amusement Expo in Las Vegas, aiming the display systems at machines placed in hotels, airports, malls and casinos as well as other areas of the amusement industry. The company offers its 3D displays at no cost – instead the contract offers revenue sharing. Better still, these systems are glasses-free. Eventually they plan to produce monitors of this nature for home use.

Samsung 55″ 3D TV Offers Glasses Free Experience
Glasses-free 3D doesn’t have to live on a small screen. Samsung has a 55” screen that you can view from 9 angles without glasses. The television has an LCD panel that shows stereoscopic images to the viewer’s right and left eyes. If you’re not at the right angle, the view is 2D. Unfortunately, this particular system may not hit the market for 3 years.
15 Million Homes with 3D TV by the End of 2012
Futuresource consulting predicts that 15 million homes will have 3D Televisions by the end of 2012. This figure would illustrate far greater acceptance of, and interest in, 3D TV viewing since only 5 million homes will have them by the end of 2011. This in turn positively impacts Blu-ray technology and disk sales, and should inspire increased 3D content. The biggest boost in sales will come from hand held devices that allow 3D viewing glasses-free.
The Eyes Have it: Nintendo 3DS
Nintendo will soon release the 3DS a glasses-free 3D venue that goes with you on-the-road. However, some experts express concern over how this may affect viewer’s eyes, particularly in young children. The American Optometric Association considers 3D safe for children who have no sight problems, but Samsung manufacturing issues caution for kids with health troubles. 3D stresses the eyes, and it makes some people dizzy.. Additionally, the closer the hand-held system gets to your eyes, the more strain it creates. Mom appears to be right when she says, “sit back from the tv!” If eye strain becomes an issue, the Nintendo 3DS has a feature that allows users to lessen effects or turn them off. Ah… that’s better.
Look no Glasses! Nintendo in 3D – Glasses Free
In March 2011, Nintendo unveiled special versions of Mario Kart Wii at the Games Developer Conference. The display on the Wii console provides 3D content on a 3d TV that’s glasses free. Better still, the 3DS – the newest handheld console has a 3d compatible screen built in. This portable powerhouse not only plays 3D content but can record it too. Other features include video streaming with Netflix, so users can watch 3d films or television programs no matter where they may be. Ardent game players can be pretty certain that a full 3D game console isn’t far behind.
