PCWorld is reporting that Toshiba is going to launch a No-Glasses (Autostereoscopic) 3D Monitor this year in Japan.
As readers of this blog might know, their are two different ways to achieve a "no-glasses" 3D effect. Both methods are by placing a screen over your monitor. The different types of screens are: a parralax barrier, or a lenticular overlay.
A video of Toshiba's new consumer autostereoscopic 3D monitor is on YouTube here:
It is not directly stated which type of autostereoscopic display this consumer monitor is, but PCWorld says, "Toshiba's new TVs have a thin sheet of small lenses in front of the display," which implies that it is a "lens" which implies that it is a lenticular lens.
I create autostereoscopic 3D media with the AudioVisual company, APCO AV, using lenticualr-based autostereoscopic lenses, and tools from 3D International Europe GmbH, formerly Visumotion.
