3D glasses cool or just plain silly?

I have always maintained that the biggest problem with 3DTV is the ridiculous glasses you have to wear. It does nothing for your street cred and although i can handle sitting in a darkened cinema. Having a visitor at home whilst i wear the silly specs is not a good look for me.

The manufacturers appear to agree, and according to the Daily Yomiuri, Toshiba are producing a ‘glasses free’ – 3D technology for release by the end of the year. Although the way this will work is still unclear, it appears that Toshiba will use a technology known as autosterescopic 3D. This involves all kinds of technical terms such as parallax barrier, lenticular, volumetric, electro-holographic, and light field displays. But to the common man, it translates to each eye being shown different images by tracking where the viewers eyes are!

3DTV is having a hard time lately with director James Cameron advising viewers to hold off from buying a 3D set and internet connected tv becoming more popular than 3DTV. It is beleived that Toshiba are releasing 3 models before christmas from around the $1200 pricepoint. The new 3DTV’s could help with the current lacklustre sales of 3DTV which may be down to silly glasses or the fact that there is not much 3D content around. It is widely thought that 3D will not hit the mass market until the sets sell for less than $1000 anyway.
