Toshiba has developed a flatbed display system that allows viewers to see three dimensional images without any aids such as those colored glasses. The new system is based on about 10 or more still images of an object. The display then combines those images via small lenses that control the direction of light emission. The lenses are managed by Toshiba proprietary hardware and software, and the whole thing works with a standard graphics card. According to Toshiba, the system currently works at a resolution of 480×300 pixels, and allows viewers to see “high quality stereoscopic images”. It will be on display at Display 2005 – International FPD Expo, to be held in Tokyo on April 20-22, 2005.

Why has it taken so long for this technology to break through, though?
I’m impatient for glasses-less 3D technology, too. I’d love to have stuff popping out of my TV at me.
