Glasses-Free 3D Displays

Commenters debate the authenticity and effectiveness of a showcased glasses-free 3D display or video, questioning if it delivers true stereoscopic depth and comparing it to failed 3D TVs and headache-inducing movies that require glasses.

Reminds of 3D TV which fizzled out because folks don't want to wear glasses.

maybe 3D vision without glasses?

I'm short sighted in one eye, so my brain doesn't really resolve the different images into a cohesive feeling of solidity, so 3D is wasted on me.

Seriously, do people consider this 3D video?

So you'd need to wear 3D glasses :)

dont be fooled, this is not 3D as in "stereoscopic" 3D like avatar. You will not get the feeling of depth because for that you need a different image for each eye (only achieved with glasses or a special screen (like 3DS or at the movies). This is just a 3D geometry trick...

Interesting, though not actually "3D movies".

You eyes provide decent 3d, don't they?

Interesting to know. I still won't buy one until I can actually try it out, but it sounds like it's better than 3D movies, which I cannot watch without getting a splitting headache (I think it's due to the decreased light levels that come through the glasses).

No more than 3D glasses (which do)!
