3-D TV Without Glasses May Be Closer Than You Think

A couple of years ago I saw an interesting demo at the annual CES in Las Vegas of Plasma Displays that could display 3-D images that could be viewed without the need for special glasses. The prototype exhibited by Samsung was impressive, but you had to stand directly in front of the screen to see the 3-D effect, and the images presented were still photos.

Now, there are two new, possibly affordable, solutions in the works that may eventually become common. One approach is a $99 software approach from DDD Group that can work with a variety of monitors, while Sharp has developed a hardware solution using LCD technology.
