Current 3D TV concern • Wearing glasses while watching TV is the big concern • Cost $150-$200 per pair.
Reports from Japan claim that Toshiba will be offering a glasses-off 3D TV by the end of the year.
How does it work? • The 3D Regza TV uses the Cell Broadband Engine that takes a 2D image and then simultaneously creates nine images of it from nine different directions, in real time. It's displayed on a high-definition LED TV. • Still images fare better than moving images. You have to sit very close to the center of the screen to get the effect.
In The figure To Come • There were three sizes on display: 12 inches, 20 inches, and 56 inches • While the smaller size models are destined for the Japanese market in Dec. 2010, the 56-incher is just a prototype. • In Japan market, the 12-inch 3D TV is about $1,500, the 20-inch one is about $2,900.
