Another Glass-less 3D Technology On The Horizon

Well, ok the distant horizon - but it is rather interesting! National Geographic reports that Nasser Peyghambarian of University of Arizona's Optical Sciences Department and his team have created the "first rewritable 3-D display surface, one in which an image can be replaced with another within a few minutes". The goal being to reduce this rewrite time to fractions of a second to fool the human eye in to "believing" a 3-D movie. Obviously this means no polarized 3-D glasses would be required.

The trouble is, this technology - while exciting - is still admittedly a few decades off for use in 3-D movies. Other applications of the technology, like military planning or for internal medical diagnosis is much more close to taking advantage of Peyghambarian's work.

The much more realistic approach to 3-D glass-less movies comes from the likes of Mark Cuban and Ed Meyer as I have already exclusively reported. We could see an announcement soon from Landmark Theaters regarding their implementation plans! I will let you know immediately when this will happen and where.
