3D Video Without Glasses

Vizio’s Prototype displayed at the International CES show with a few key breakthroughs.


First, you aren't limited to one sweet spot with this TV, there are nine. As you move around the screen in a semi-circle, the picture pops in and out of 3D, akin to pulling a lens in and out of focus. If you're not in a sweet spot, the picture doesn't completely blur and fuzz out. It just flattens out into 2D.


On Vizio's Prototype, the picture is considerably less sharp than on other high-definition or 3D displays. On-screen lines and fuzziness are pretty noticeable, and the 3D effect doesn't always pop like you'd expect it to.

But Vizio had something genuinely novel on display, 3D video that can be viewed without glasses.
