Head Tracking Allows Glasses Free 3D on iPad

[JAT]

Combine this with 3D glasses technology, and you will have everything to simulate real life 3D: seeing an object from two different angles at once + being able to change your viewing angle by just moving your head! This will probably look very cool but I think this head tracking 3D stuff is enough for most things now.

Alternatively, you could just look at real stuff.

Assuming you have 2 functioning eyes, of course. Condolences to those without.

The iPad is real. Really!

Maybe it's just me but that was pretty freaking sweet

Now combine this with some 3d boobies you can bounce around

This could work with the 3ds tech, the front facing camera would recognize that you are moving your head and the 3ds would turn off the stereoscopic 3d while you move it. Once you stop moving your head the stereoscopic 3d is activated again and so on.

What looks amazing on that video because it is 2D is actually a not very convincing effect. The problem is, that the display is NOT a 3D display. Don't get this wrong, there is no 3D functionality built in the iPad 2 whatsoever, so both of your eyes will see the same picture, so that you won't think that this is 3 dimensional at all.

I could not disagree more. There have been plenty of occasions when I've been playing a video game and I've moved my head to try to get a better viewing angle. For interactive applications (games/apps) I think this is significantly better than stereoscopic 3D.

You are so right my friend!

Awesome.

Bring on the Holodeck.

For the naysayers, that video on my 2D iPad, looked 3D, so have ur eyes checked. The pop-out targets were amazing.
