Magnetic3D Glasses-Free 3D

News from Engadget, who reported from CES that Magnetic3D’s autostereoscopic displays claimed up to 9 viewing angles, an improvement over Alioscopy’s 8, plus support for compressed MPEG-4 video and a smaller video player, key for the digital signage market these displays compete in.

The Engadget guys detected “a bit more pop from greater distances and angles than competing tech, but unfortunately what they didn’t see was any indication this technology is any closer to being ready for regular TV watching. The 3D film over the demo 1080p LCD still drops the resolution somewhat and makes 2D viewing a messy blur, so for the time being, these displays popping out ads from street corners or slot machines will have to do.”
