After all the excitement about watching big screen 3DTV without the specs, Samsung have crushed our dreams by revealing that glasses free 3DTV is not likely to hit the shelves for another 10 years at least!
3DTV 300x200 Samsung Say No Glasses Free 3DTV For At Least 10 Years
Forget big screen glasses free 3DTV for another 10 years
The decade long problem is due to scaling the technology up to any screen bigger than twenty inches, which doesnt cut it with consumers and the fact that the 3D is only viewable from certain angles.
Samsung had upped the anticipation that a 3DTV without specs was on the cards after showing a 55 inch 3DTV prototype at a Chinese trade show. The tv had nine viewing spots where the 3D effect could be seen, but that obviously isnt enough.
In a statement Samsung said:- “Considering our current technology, Samsung can make glasses-free 3D TV at the R&D level. However, it can only be viewed from a few viewing spots. To make naturally viewed glasses-free 3D TV, for instance in a living room where several people can watch TV from various angles, the technology needs to deliver 3D to at least 32 viewing spots.”
They continue with the crushing news:- “Attempts to put glasses-free 3D TV to market within the next 10 years will be difficult.” The problem is that in 10 years time 3D may have been replaced with holographic TV instead. So Samsung, we might not want it.
How is it possible to view 3d TV without the cumbersome 1970′s 3d TV glasses?
Wearing 3d glasses is obviously the major hurdle that 3d TV manufacturers need to overcome if 3d TV’s are to become mainstream.
The breakthrough technologies that solve this problem of no glasses 3D TV are known as parallax barrier orlenticular lens technology. These methods of delivering 3D TV without glasses are also known asautostereoscopy, and the 3D TVs that deliver them are built using what’s termed as ‘autostereoscopic screens’.
Currently none of the methods of delivering no glasses 3D TV have been perfected and picture quality cannot currently rival that of the 3D glasses technologies. The main stumbling block is that 3d TV viewers need to be able to watch TV content from multiple different positions and still get the 3D effect, and with the no glasses models seen so far there’s a requirement to sit at an optimal position (height and distance from the display) or the 3D effect is lost.
However all the major TV manufacturers know that real 3d without glasses is the nirvana and hence they continue research and development.
A niche manufacturer known as 3DFusion have recently demonstrated a significant breakthrough with their 3DFMax 3DTV technology. This allows you to adjust the depth of the 3D images and watch in 3D at the level of your personal preference – without glasses. 3DFusion state that they are “the first and only company in the world that has market-ready patent-pending technology for autostereoscopic (glasses-free) 3D displays”.
So the future looks good for 3d-Tv-without the pernicuos glasses.
