Experiencing 3D on a television sans those horrifically unsightly glasses has been a dream for years, and while we heard that Mitsubishi had a few tricks up its sleeve last year, we're finally seeing the fruits of its labor. In a brief, completely monotonous video, the outfit demonstrates its "scalable system for real-time acquisition, transmission and autostereoscopic display of dynamic scenes," which translates to "3D TV" in layman's terms. We'll restrain from getting all up in the technicalities, but feel free to take a look at what the "future holds" in the video after the break.
Wow. This looks like tech that would be so revolutionary, getting it home would be kind of cost-prohibitive but would make going to the movie theatre worthwhile and fun again.
I can only see it when the camera pans left to right. When the video is in motion, It looks non 3d to me. I have never really seen 3d before because of my lazy eye, which makes 3d glasses useless for me.
“Getting too close completely blurred what we saw to the point of incomprehension, but again, this shows a whole heap of potential that's fascinating to us.”

Looks like they are using a lenticular lens at the screen calibrated to refract the light from projector A @ angle Y so on and so forth.
That's quite impressive. Hopefully this system will be in theaters within seven years.

That's awesome. It kind of reminds me of the wii headtracking video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw , expect this is for multiple people.
