Sharp 3D LCD without any glasses

Sharp has the best looking high resolution mobile phones screens and very competitive LCDs - AQUOS range.

Um, who's going to sit 30 cm from the screen to watch something?

A user can see three-dimensional images at a distance of 30 centimetres (12 inches) from the Sharp screen without having to wear special glasses that are currently required when watching 3D movies.

Yip, if this is only at 30cm, I wonder about that too. Shouldn't it be "from a distance"?
 
I really don't see the point of 3D. It's cool in cinemas but I don't want a 3D TV at home
 
30cm from the screen would be perfect for PC gaming ..
 
and in one fell swoop all the other 3D TVs that recently came onto the market become obsolete! :D
 
There are solutions for glassless 3D but they all seem to use fresnel lenses. So the position of your eyes with relation to the screen has to be perfect. Thus you need to be a certain distance from the screen and right in front of it. Fine for a Gameboy but useless for a TV.

BTW: For those people that say they don't see the point of 3D for the home, then they haven't experienced 3D for the home. The problem with 3D initially will be the price and the limited content, but over time I guarantee that those people will change their minds.
 
3D is fantastic once you utilise the space into the screen and more importantly the space between the screen and you, the viewer. This is where the glasses come in. I dont see them getting it right without the glasses. It's probably going to take something other than an lcd or tube to simulate 3D.

Holographic Displays ... yeah, probably still be a good 20 - 30 years before we come close to this, but I have a feeling not much more than that ... I read an article a few years ago where they already had very primitive holograms ... if I remember correctly, was a combination of laser and light? (And I'm not talking about lasers in smoke :P )

Yes, that's right, a holographic display will cut it, with mechanics that uitilises your entire living room. You're practically part of the "action", so to say. :)

Lol ... Computers took up an entire living room space not some 30 - 40 years ago ;)

So someone who watches the news and the occasional soap will derrive pleasure from 3D?
People who enjoy non-3D material such as people who watch films for more than eye candy will derrive pleasure from 3D?

It's the same as the pixel wars. A good film is good even at (reasonably) low resolution and even in B&W. 3D is a gimmick for action films where the object lies in dazzling people with eye candy. If Sharp can pull both of, at a reasonable price with good contrast, decent quality then why not but this won't change the way people view television - it will be a gimmick like THX Certified DTS 7.1 sound which is nice for those who enjoy movies for Hollywood sound effects but not for those who enjoy movies to get something more than eye candy and special effects out of them.
 
Yeah you're right. People that watch obscure art films and pointless anime in the original language won't be interested in 3d. Such a big demographic, 3D is doomed to failure ;).

What do (most) people watch on TV for entertainment? Series, Hollywood-style movies and sport... all of which will be available in 3D.
 
I wonder what it's like to play games in 3D, is that as awesome as it sounds?
 
Im sorry I got to say this... I KNOW PEOPLE ARE THINKING IT...

Can't wait till we get Porn in 3D!? :D :D :D

Anyway! as said by PeterCH - g i m m i c k - lets all say it together now! It looks and sounds cool but after 3 hours it looks and sounds the same. I just think it's a way to get "idiots" all hyped up to go buy an expensive TV. Before you can even begin to watch 3D the DVD/BD/Channel must be able to play/broadcast it.
