2011 is the year the person in 3D. That the act of putting glasses is off consumers (European and American consumers of the road excitation 3D world, according to analysts Nielsen), given the recent CES in Las Vegas a number of unexpected announcements, demos and prototypes of 3D glasses free gadgets.
With few exceptions surprising - Toshiba 56-inch and 65 inch LCD TV, to be exact - almost all portable devices small screen such as smartphones, digital frames, camcorders and laptops have been (although, strangely no tablets).
At the time of writing - with 3DS Nintendo still on sale - there is only one pair of glasses gadget W3-free sale, camera Fuji film FinePix Real 3D.
Lucy Edwards, marketing director for digital cameras with Fujinon believes that 3D without glasses "lenticular" (ie the lens is on the screen and not in glasses) technology, currently the best for Players and photographers.
She said that the W3 is a 3.5 inch screen, is "optimized for depreciation based on the screen with a specific" sweet spot "where the 3D effect is most pronounced, which makes technology Ideal for a camera or a handheld gaming device.
"Human eyes are generally about 64 mm apart, so to be able to accomplish is to make realistic 3D images, the W3 with two Fujinon lenses which are 20% more remote equipped - the impression of depth to maximize, while still producing images look natural.

3D Do-it-yourself
immediate response from Sony for the lack of 3D content is the same as the Fuji film, make your own, and it is clear that his goal is a pair of glasses with no future.
As well as professional 3D cameras, Sony used CES Bloggie 3D without glasses "to begin camcorder when previewing a 10.1-inch Portable 3D Blu-ray VAIO notebook and perhaps the ultimate example of 3D Personal (although not without glasses) and a pair of "Mount Head" 3D glasses with 3D OLED screen for each eye, which seems to be destined for PlayStation platform.
"2011 began the next phase of our 3D strategy - the year is personally in the 3D, Sony CEO Howard Stringer told a packed room at the CES.
"3D is reflected much more than a novelty of science fiction to create special effects dominate the action and enchant the viewer, it is simply the experience of reality itself," he said.
"We do not see the world around us in 2D, we see in live 3D. As with all technological refinement and improvements followed, with or without glasses, and the viewer is more enthusiastic."
As such, display manufacturers are lining up to take advantage of the expected boom in 3-D devices. Master image is a screen of 3.1 inches is already in Japan by Hitachi WOO uses 3D text, was in the CES, while elocity photo frame 10 inches, which automatically converts 2D images into 3D says that TechRadar he will make a pair of glasses without a PC 3D games and TVs this year.
Sharp demoed by 3.8 inches and 10.6 inches in 3D displays, while LG has also contributed to the debate with a 4.3 inch screen 3D without glasses with a resolution of 400x800 pixels offers.
"LG sees huge growth potential in the market for 3D mobile display," said Dr. Jong-Seok Park, president and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company, at CES. "LG is looking forward to his debut this exciting new way to watch movies or play 3D games on your mobile phone." For us, it sounds like its pretty close to the market.
All this without glasses - or autostereoscopic, to be exact - 3D gadgets in much the same way, one (may be observed in 2D, too) often parallax barrier transparency on the screen has a series of light-blocking slots, send a different image for each eye. It is essentially an enhanced version of 3D stickers, and cereal packets of 20. And he has the same drawback: the viewer must remain motionless.
In the dead zone
In fact, if you move your head, even a small distance, while the 3-D effect is ruined, you watch the "dead zone".
"An autostereoscopic display has a range of views on their screen - actually nine different pictures you can see how you move to the head," Bill Foster, senior consultant at Future Source Consulting, told TechRadar. "If you do not in any of nine points soft you'll probably see a mirror image 3D."
Promising a "dead zone without" 3D experience from Toshiba, the industry observers by unveiling at CES, a 15.6-inch laptop autostereoscopic 3D is surprised. The interesting thing is that everything is in 3D character staff, "the person in front of the screen a 3D image SA.
It is essential, the viewer can move around the head and change their seated position while reading and even a 3D image - there is no "dead zone" of differences between the soft spots.
A Toshiba spokesman said U. S. TechRadar: "The device uses a webcam to see your face and it is a virtual mask on you." Indeed, a food for animals revealed by the webcam next to the 3D image of a live recording of me with a line around my eyes, nose and chin.
"It matches the light output tracking of your eyes relative position, but it does not always work when you get close to the screen." During our demonstration of the 3D effect was quite difficult, especially in the foreground. But the webcam tracking system was given by the bright light of camcorder confusion behind us, mistakes and errors when I moved the head rapidly, and I see a double image in the left side.
This prototype of the "two parallax" tech - as is known - must be another tweak or two, but intended for sale later this year.
Toshiba tellier
Toshiba to use the term "natural" preference seems to 3D without 3D glasses gadgets have in their arsenal. Even without the glasses at CES already announced 12-inch and 20-inch 3D TV - sold only in Japan - and the actual treatment, 56 and 65-inch LCD TV from Toshiba 3D CEVO powerful use - and does no need glasses.
This is a problem with pixelization, some pixels are used to create different views, even if it is less a problem with small screen devices - hence the boost. In addition, technological improvements are imminent. "We now have nine points of view, but is currently on pike seen 15 times," said Foster.
Although there are concerns about the quality of the technology, Toshiba, Sony, LG and remains clear that there is demand. Commercial realities are playing well, sales of 2-D cameras and camcorders have been declining since the terminal has smartphone cameras and video recording.
The advent of 3D without glasses These devices could expect to die a temporary shot in the arm, but the smartphone (all eyes at the Mobile World Congress 2011) re-shipped to the digital dustbin we expect to be 3D without glasses about gadgets game for a year or two - Nintendo 3DS tail - but it will not be long until everyone has a parallax in the pocket.
