bigOz Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Has anyone heard of any future plans for producing TVs (and PCs maybe?) producing 3D images? I am about to invest a lot of money on a very large screen TV but feel a little reluctant. The science is advancing so fast, I keep getting this feeling some manufacturer is holding back a nasty surprise for prople in my position. If anyone has heard of any recent 3D imagery plans for TVs please let us know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutZ Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 No, I haven't but I am pretty sure the first one for commerical use will be more expensive then a small house. I wouldn't feel to bad for buying a 2D picture TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bascule Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yes, they've made several in Japan... LCDs with multiple layers. which appear 3D to the person viewing them. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/11/sharp_lcd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 i've seen goggles with 2 miniature high res lcds, one for each eye, you can crank 3d out of those, the one i saw also had bone conduction audio so the only person hearing it is you, the whole thing is water-proof and sets you back to the financial stone age.

bigOz Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Yes, they've made several in Japan...

But at those prices for only 15 inches, the use will probably be confined to laptops and mobile phones... My own enquiries since I posted this topic has shown that although at tleat one well known brand's manufacturer has designed a prototype, actual mass production is a long time to come yet. Also, just like with any such new invention, the quality will be low and the price sky-high. So, for now, I think I'll be safe with buying a conventional HD flat TV.
