Apple Researching 3D Stereoscopic Displays

[MikeTheC]

I think it's a plot by Apple to begin the mind control experiments.

Today, 3D stereoscopic monitors. Tomorrow, Steve Jobs becomes emperor.

3D perception comes from a lot of sources. The trivial one: Objects are smaller when they are further away, and they are hazier (over long distances). Both head and body movement and eye movement give information in the brain. You don't need any monkeys to test this, it works fine in human beings.

"hazier (over long distances)" is known as "atmospheric perspective".

I have the same problem, even if I can see from both eyes, I am astygmatic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astygmatism) and I have developed the tendency of using a preferred eye. This condition is very, very common, it has absolutely no impact on everyday's life, but for the ability to see artificially generated stereoscopic images. People like me see the world in 3D because our brain is reconstructing the image. Remember that vision happens in the brain. But we cannot reconstruct something that does NOT exist and it is just an optical illusion.

So, my 2 cents here. If ever Apple will try this on the market it will be a huge flop.

That's.... why i wear glasses...................

problem solved?

Zecotek's 3D Technology

Hi there. I saw Zecotek's 3D Display in Vancouver, Canada. This is by far the best 3D Display I have ever seen.

...if there's anyone in Vancouver, Canada on here, maybe you could do me a favor and check these guys out. http://www.zecotek.com/EN/overview/

They are rumored to have a prototype with brilliant image - i.e. working technology, not just vaporware. So basically either Apple better get their act together quickly or buy this company out

Apple won't even implement Blu-Ray in their systems yet. 3D? See you in 10 years!

They might have to rethink their strategy. Zecotek's 3D technology could be used on iPhones!
