Glasses free 3D TV from Toshiba

3D is one heck of fascinating content. It is so cool and amusing. But still you have to put up a pair of dorky glasses. Toshiba has introduced Glasses free 3D concept at the CES 2011. They put up a 65 inch panel at the Toshiba booth, with three pairs of foot guides(black thick stripes to show you were to plant yourselves to get the best 3D effect). If you stand in the middle spot you could see a decent 3D. But tilt your head to the side even a little bit then the pictures will get all wobbly. The 3D effect very easy to lose.

This is based on the fact that each eyes get locked on to two different pixels that creates 3D effect. They use parallax barriers to create this kind of effect.

The panel's got a high resolution even though the images doesn't provide much clarity. Toshiba said it was a demo product and it was not a ready one. Though they said that they plan to sell it's glasses free 3D TV by the end of this year. They didn't disclose the price.
