3D TVs with no glasses

By Ai Lung Nguyen - August 2010.

ENTERTAINMENT/TECHNOLOGY - Over in Japan the Sony Corporation is working on a 3D TV that doesn't need special glasses. Toshiba is also making a similar 3D TV and its become a race to see which company can jump the cost and technological difficulties to bringing the product to market. Toshiba announced several days ago its designing a glasses-free 3D TV, but hasn't announced when they will go on sale.

Normal 3D TVs with glasses are already selling, made by Panasonic and Sony... but they have to be attached to the TV by wires and you have so sit or stand a certain distance from the TV for it to work properly.

The new 3D TVs, some already on display but not for sale, work without the glasses but still require you to be relatively close for it to work. The image quality isn't as good either.

Sony is hoping to become the number 1 supplier of 3D TVs and 3D players/recorders. They've announced plans for two 3D films and multiple 3D music videos. The new 3D Spider-Man film is due out in 2012.

James Cameron, the director and producer of Avatar, has already announced there will be two Avatar sequels. In a recent interview, Cameron stated that he plans to shoot both sequels in the planned trilogy back-to-back. The second movie will be about Pandora's rainforest and ocean, the other moons and continue following the characters Jake Sully and Neytiri.

"I expect that those nasty humans didn't go away forever," says James Cameron.
