Avatar 3 is coming out next year – however, we are well past the 3D craze after the first one came out and these days very few people have 3D capable displays at home, much less glasses-free ones. Last year ZTE launched the nubia Pad 3D with a glasses-free 3D display. Now the company has come out with a second generation model with major improvements. The nubia Pad 3D II is marketed as the “world’s first 5G+AI eyewear free 3D tablet”. It’s quite a mouthful, but it’s correct. The previous model had a Snapdragon 888…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Glasses-free 3D is making a comeback. And please — don’t roll your eyes and write this off as a gimmick just yet. I saw two similar 3D gaming monitors at CES last week that used this technology and tracked your eyes to fool you into seeing depth in a 2D screen. It’s pretty convincing stuff, especially for games. I really want to see this technology come to fruition, but based on what I’ve seen so far, it needs to be done the right way if it hopes to get people’s attention. The term “3D”…

Lenovo / Lenovo Lenovo has a new 27-inch 4K monitor that can render 3D content without the need for glasses. First showcased at IFA 2023, the ThinkVision 27 3D employs proprietary hardware and software technology that projects separate images to each eye, creating a 3D effect that appears to bring images to life. The display includes a switchable lenticular lens and real-time eye-tracking technology paired with accompanying software, known as 3D Explorer, that features a 3D player and a software development kit (SDK)…

There's a vast gulf between the dreamy notion of glasses-free 3D – extra visual depth without any clunky eye-wear! – and the reality: fuzzy imagery, buggy execution, and headaches. Oh, the…

Remember the 3D craze from around ten years ago? TV and smartphone manufacturers were all racing to announce some sort of 3D viewing capabilities on their devices but the technology ultimately got pushed away. ZTE used MWC to announce an interesting take with its nubia Pad 3D – the company’s first Android tablet to offer glasses-free 3D viewing. nubia Pad 3D display The nubia Pad 3D is jointly created with Leia Inc – a company that focuses on 3D display hardware and content services. nubia Pad 3D…

ASUS is taking a stab at glasses-free 3D in 2023, starting with its new ProArt StudioBook laptop. It sports a 16-inch, 3.2K OLED panel that has the ability to flip into 3D at the touch of a button. This feature, which ASUS calls Spatial Vision, uses eye-tracking and a lenticular lens to deliver two separate images to your eyes. That lets you view things like 3D models and movies with the same amount of depth that you'd expect from a typical 3D screen with glasses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhWVV39g9BA Now this isn't…

Acer has debuted another round of new gaming laptops for 2022. This time, it’s focused on more unique entries, having gotten most of its yearly refreshes out of the way a couple of months ago. Its 15.6-inch Predator Helios 300 is getting the SpatialLabs treatment with a display that supports glasses-free, stereoscopic 3D content that includes “over 50 popular games at launch,” with a commitment to add support for new games moving forward. The description for the built-in camera on this Helios 300 is wild. Acer says…
