It’s no secret that traditional methods of 3D viewing have required viewers to wear special glasses that can be both cumbersome and abit annoying. Â 3D viewing has long been a novelty, something that you may use once or twice a year when watching a movie. Â Gizmodo reports that those us who are not enthused by having to wear glasses while watching 3D are in luck. Â Microsoft is working on 3D technology that literally “beams 3D effects into your eyeballs”
Microsoft’s Applied Sciences Group is creating 3D by using a camera to track viewers’ eyes and a new special lens. That lens is shaped like a wedge, with 11mm thickness at the top vs 6mm at the bottom. Apparently, the wedge lens can steer light straight into a viewers eye by switching light-emitting diodes along its bottom edge on and off. Basically, by controlling the light, it can display different images on the screen and direct where each image goes. – Gizmodo
It is noted in the article that the prototype being worked with is only able to accomodate two viewers at one time while watching 3D. Â Or four people can watch a 2d video.
