http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/researchers-use-ipad-2-camera-to-create-glasses-free-3d-effectA group of French researchers has created a proof-of-concept app and video that demonstrates the iPad 2's ability to create glasses-free 3D effects. Jeremie Francone and Laurence Nigay of the Laboratory of Informatics of Grenoble, EHCI Research Group discovered that by using the device's front-facing camera to track the head of the user-and therefore determine the angle from which the user is looking at the device-they could create a spatially-aware display. Notably, the effect does not use the device's accelerometer, and instead relies solely on the front camera.

thats pretty epic. But how would it be used?
this is epic
but sadly..
researchers come up with awesome things then companies grab those ideas, make them worse, and sell them for millions

Yes! I knew the 3ds was a waste of money!
Wow...
Now that's how you do glasses free 3D..
Nintendo please take notes.

This is not that epic.... it's not real 3d at all, it's simply implementing perspective. In other words, it's only 3d in the way that a videogame is 3d... it's not "stereoscopic"; there is nothing amazing about the fact that it is glasses free anymore than portal is amazing because it's in "3d" without glasses.
Reminds me of the Wii headtracking from so long ago.
This works great for looking up skirts in silly JDM games. These french dudes are a bit behind the curve no?

Way better implemented than the iPad demo.

This requires glasses mounted infrared, and IMO doesn't look any better than the iPad's version, though the screen is larger.Originally Posted by PRloaded;13119430

It's not really 3D... it just changes based on your perspective. You still see the same image with both eyes.

If you're seeing a different image with both eyes, it's still not 'really' 3D. It's still just perception. An effect. To be truly 3D, it needs to have a real 3rd dimension. Impossible on a flat surface.Originally Posted by Coma;13122628

This was done years ago using a customised Wii. Nothing new.

already been posted above you, but if you note - that requires headtracking of the wiimote using infrared. This doesn't which is what makes it cool - it's just the camera.Originally Posted by Viridian;13123678

Sigh... it's a display, of course it's all about the "effect". That being said, your eyes are just sensors, it's possible to provide them with information that is identical to the information they would receive when looking at a 3d scene. Stereoscopic 3d attempts to do this, this "3d" effect does not. It's simulated perspective, nothing more.Originally Posted by damian5000;13123319

Same guy that did it with the backwards wiimote.

Neither is still true 3D. They're both simulated effects.
