Toshiba has brought CEATEC, Japan's largest consumer electronics fair, the first commercial 3D televisions without glasses. These are two models of 12 y 20”, respectively, that will go on sale in Japan this coming December. The company also showed a laptop prototype equipped with this same technology to view content in three dimensions without having to wear glasses.. This new 3D technology from Toshiba is based on a comprehensive imaging system that provides nine different perspectives of each 2D frame that users' brains superimpose to form a three-dimensional image impression.. Toshiba R&D engineers have combined their knowledge of display technologies, semiconductors and software design to achieve a powerful video engine and an algorithm that extrapolates the different perspectives of the 2D frames and a system of perpendicular lenses to display them in such a way that the users' brain can perform this superimposition. The system offers a wide angle viewing area and eliminates the problems of 3D image distortion caused by eye or head movement of other glasses-free systems.. Furthermore, the use of television for 2D content is not committed., since these televisions change from one mode to another in a matter of seconds. Offering great image quality in both. Driving the evolution of 3D television Toshiba does not expect to achieve a large sales volume, Only that small group of enthusiasts of this type of novelty will buy it.. But it does prove that 3D televisions without glasses are technically and commercially possible.. “The commercial launch in Japan of these televisions is a first step in what will be the future of the 3D home cinema market.”. Although we still have several years left to develop televisions with this large format technology, 40” or more at a reasonable price. Those who want to see three-dimensional content on these screens today, You will have your needs satisfied with the new REGZA WL768 series, “3D televisions based on the active shutter glasses system”, apunta Sascha Lange, Marketing Director, Consumer Electronics, Toshiba Europe.
