Are 3D Monitors Making a Comeback? The New Ones Don’t Require Glasses

If it were Acer alone, despite being a major hardware player, it would be easy to dismiss this as an experiment, but with ASUS joining the club with its creator-focused ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED laptop, this technology seems to be ready for end users.

Glasses-free 3D displays work by using a technique called “parallax barrier” or “lenticular printing” to display a different image to each eye, creating the illusion of depth. The display contains a series of vertical slits or lenses that allow each eye to see a slightly different image, creating the illusion of 3D. These new glasses-free 3D displays also use eye-tracking technology to adjust the image displayed to each eye in real-time, ensuring that the 3D effect is maintained as the viewer’s head moves.

Well, I, for one, never gave up on 3D technology. I still have a 3D TV and will still buy the 3D Version of any movie over the 2D option. I just hope that the monitors will be an open standard for content creation, so you are not locked into just what Acer or ASUS license.
