3DeeScreen Panel Turns Any 15.6-Inch Laptop Into a 3D One

There is a new 3D technology in town, though it isn't so much a new 3D panel as it is a means to turn a regular 2D laptop screen into a 3D display.

Basically, Spatial View has created the 3DeeScreen, a display meant to be installed over the 2D LCD of a 15.6-inch laptop.

As long as the mobile personal computer runs Windows 7 and the necessary software is installed, the regular images are turned into autostereoscopic 3D.

There is even a system that tracks viewer position and adjusts the viewing zone accordingly.

“Wearing 3D glasses to view content on portable devices such as laptops is not desirable for users,” says Ihor Petelycky, general manager, Spatial View.

“However, current glasses-free display technology has not provided the quality and flexibility users expect. Our goal is to provide a superior 3D viewing experience and enable existing laptops with 3D functionality at a reasonable price. With 3DeeScreen, Spatial View has achieved that goal.”

The 15.6-inch panel costs about $130 on its own, which is roughly the same as 98.86 Euro.

Spatial View made sure to toss in the 3DeeCentral application too, which grants access to a multimedia online store where customers can get free and/or paid content.

“One of the issues with glasses-free 3D displays are the discrete viewing zones. In typical glasses-free displays, users must keep their head very still or experience a blurry transition area while finding the next viewing zone,” noted Insight Media President, Chris Chinnock.

“The Spatial View approach of eye-tracking eliminates these issues by providing a 3D view independent of head position. In addition, one of the big concerns about 3D adoption is the availability of 3D content. 3DeeCentral is solving this problem by aggregating 3D content in an easy to access site that helps consumers find and enjoy 3D content.”
