3D LCD's
Posted by Janak Parekh in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 03:13 PM
Sharp has developed a LCD-based technology to give you the perception of 3D without special glasses. They basically take two LCD's and stick one behind the other, with a parallax barrier between them, so that each eye receives a slightly different image and resolves the two into a 3D object. They hope to integrate the technology into both notebooks and flat desktop LCD's.
I wonder if such a technology, long-term, could be useful for Pocket PC's or other PDA's. They'd first have to reduce the side effects of the parallax trick (such as viewing distance), but it might be another way to increase resolution without decreasing the size of the content being presented. Also, would you want a 3D PPC?
