CES: Sony shows 3D laptop, LG 3D TV without glasses

The big hype with 3D TVs will continue in new variants in other areas, it just starts to: Sony at CES unveiled a 3D laptop - for three-dimensional Daddeln, but converted to 3D movies. Self-images frame on spatial imaging. Las Vegas / Hamburg - Sony wants to bring content onto three-dimensional notebook.

The Japanese manufacturer has introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show CES in Las Vegas, the production version of a 3D-capable device. Users in the model of the Vaio F-series touch of a button between two-and three-dimensional view on the 16-inch display switch back and forth. For the low effect a suitable shutter glasses are required.


2-D movies on Blu-ray Disc or DVD can convert the unit in real time in a simulated 3D display, Sony said. For the computational power to make a new "Sandy Bridge" processor from Intel with four computing cores and an also recently introduced graphics card from Nvidia. The device comes in Germany in late February at a price of 2,000 euros on the market.

3D is also at the CES 2011, a big issue. ViewSonic is there in front of a digital picture frame, the 2D images into 3D images and converts will allow the three-dimensional effect without glasses. The image is segmented into layers and depth effects in the context of quasi backwards "extended" - that reminds us the old loose-quality postcards and is probably not very much more - more of a gimmick than a technical breakthrough.

To have this 3DPF8 in the U.S. in the near future from about $ 200. Significantly lower you will have access to the bag, if you want to make a 3D TV that does not need glasses. LG Electronics and Toshiba show in Las Vegas first, supposedly market-ready devices to still come in the first half of 2011 in the trade.

The competition from Sony and Sharp is content now with the showing of prototypes - the technology is still in development. In the medium term a success for 3D TV seems likely if this does not require additional equipment.
