3D TVs Without The Need To Wear 3D Glasses

So I hear you ask is it possible to get a 3D viewing experience without the need for glassess?....

3D TV Requiring 3D Glasses - The downside:

Well although everyone would agree that current 3D technology requiring special 3d glasess to be worn is exciting, there are some downsides:

1.) 3D glasses used to view the 3D image are expensive, you wouldn't want to damage one.

2.) 3D glassess are usually manufacturer specific and will function on only one manufacturers range / series of TVs.


3) Lose your 3D glasess and you lose your ability to watch 3D content, the images will be displayed mixed and unwatchable.


4) Your 4 friends have come to your home to watch your favourite 3D film, but you only have 1 spare pair of glassees - What do you do?


3D TV Without The Need For Special 3D Glasses

Luckily manufacturers have recognised these disadvantages and are working on 3D TV displays that don't require glasses in order to watch the 3D content. These type of TVs are called Autostereoscopic 3D TVs.
