Sony 3DTV Compete With Toshiba By Going Glasses Free

Its an exciting week for 3DTV loving and glasses hating viewers. After Toshiba were rumored to be launching a revolutionary 3DTV set that does not require glasses, Sony are getting in on the act too.

3D doesnt have to be this way

The news puts Sony and Toshiba in direct competition to see who can create the first big screen 3D with no headgear required model. Glasses free 3DTV requires the users head movements to be monitored and it is thought the process will be based on technology known as autosterescopic 3D. However, there are many cost and technological hurdles to overcome before the new models can go to market.

Current 3D TV sets available currently require glasses and are becoming a common feature in living rooms around the world. This depends on customers buying into the new technology of course. Of the 15 million LCD televisions that Sony expects to sell this year, they expect 2.5 million of those will be 3D enabled.

But there are already screens that don’t require glasses, mainly intended for store displays. They require the viewer to stand in specific spots for the 3D effect to emerge, and the image quality isless  than that of screens using glasses.

Sony Vice President Yoshihisa Ishida states the obvious; “Seeing 3D without glasses is more convenient” he declared, before adding pricing concerns made a release date uncertain.

It may however  be a good idea to get the market actually wanting the 3D, before trying to improve on the concept.

    i don’t think that a glass free 3D image can create the same experience which viewers get from convetional 3D TVs.Although there is lot of information about the different Technologies used in TVs.The FPR technology used in LG Cinema 3D TV makes it far more advanced than the conventional SG 3D Tv.It makes no flickering,no crosstalk infact increases the brightness by 2 times.

  4. How will the glass less 3D TV work and perhaps the question is does it really work better than the 3d tv with glasses. Does the technology support the working of 3d tv like the LG 3d cinema whose technology is based on FPR. Will it be as good as watching 3d tv with FPR 3d glasses.
