Samsung is the next company to try to popularize 3D displays (again)

  means that you don’t have to wear glasses to access the monitor’s “customizable 3D experience.” .
  Lenticular lenses direct different images to each eye to make images look three-dimensional.

  So I guess it’s a 1 user solution, which is fine for a computer screen, but will probably not work for TV.

    Yeah it doesn’t look like their TV division is doing this, just their PC gaming one.

    By getting fancy with the lenses, it’s possible to accomodate more than one viewer:

      That seems very prototype like. Not nearly the clarity that was demoed last year:

  I like 3D. I wish 3D would catch on, and technologies would advance. I’d LOVE to watch sports, on a 90 inch projection screen, in native 3D.

  But 3D seems to be the “fetch” of the tech world. It’s just not going to be a thing.

    It’s just not going to be a thing.

    It will be, if they can figure out how to deliver a good glasses-free affordable experience for a shared screen.

    Thus far, it’s only been single user screens that have been able to do glasses free at an inexpensive cost like the 3DS and even this article is about a monitor.

    For big shared screens like TVs it’s always glasses or glasses-free, but prohibitively expensive. And that’s what kills 3D every time, the fucking glasses.

    Probably faster to just wait for holodeck-like tech

      Holography, the real kind, not the Star Wars kind, is probably the way forward. The display would be about as flat as current ones, but the image would appear three dimensional from any angle and wouldn’t require glasses. You could even lean side to side to change your perspective. I remember reading ages ago that a lab was working on it, but I think they had a frame rate of one every few minutes and it was monochrome and I haven’t heard anything since.

  Internet connected front facing stereo cameras running on closed source software and little to no oversight? No thank you. The enshitification of tech demands more user data and I don’t need more Spyware in my home.

  Make a high quality display panel with no OS except to run basic settings and I’ll pay a premium.

  Could be really nice to have for seated VR games such as racing games if they can get the game to detect the display as a VR headset using steam vr or something.

  3D is great for some particular experiences. It’s cool to watch some of the imax movies at home. A handful of the theatrical 3D releases were incredible.

  Really though, they need to put more push into the “multi-view” tech that lets people watch a different input depending on their angle. That would also be a feature where it’s reasonable to implement AI, to track a particular viewer’s angle, and adjust the screen to match.

  Then enable multiple Bluetooth headphone pairings, and you can have multiple people watching their own thing on the same tv. It would be super useful, but they never really pushed forward with the tech.

  I truly miss 3D, I even get mad when 3DS games don’t have 3D features lol, it is almost as annoying as when the DS games have minimal or non existent touchscreen gameplay.
