Toshiba has been dabbling in glasses-free 3D TV for a while now, but today at the company’s UK Spring launch, we got a peek at a glasses-free 3D laptop, or auto-steroscopic if you want to get technical on us.
The twist is the laptop is capable of tracking your eyes via the webcam (which will use infra-red in the dark too), and adjusting the angle for the parallax accordingly, so you see a 3D picture wherever you move – which incidentally can use the full screen, or show in a window on an otherwise 2D desktop, which is a nice touch. Read on for the details and photos.
We tried out the Toshiba glasses-free 3D laptop concept on an existing Toshiba Qosmio laptop hacked and tweaked to run it in Toshiba’s labs, and can vouch for its ability to track your movement, though it does switch to 2D for a few seconds when you move, which is rather jarring. Still, we’d hope this should be made more seamless in the run up to launch: Toshiba says a retail glasess-free 3D laptop will be out some time this year – in the meantime, check out the photos here, and find out more about Toshiba’s current 3D laptop that works with specs over on Toshiba Life.
