Toshiba Unveils World's First 3-D Display (With No Glasses Required)

Announced at today's CEATEC in Tokyo, Toshiba unveiled the "world's first" 3-D display that does not require viewers to wear any special glasses. 

The technology is based on multiple images being displayed through a lenticular lense layer which shows different angles of the image depending on the angle of the viewer.

This is a huge step in 3-D display technologies, but without seeing one first-hand, I am hesitant to sing high praises yet.  The human brain does a great job of "filling-in the blanks" to accommodate some visual "tricks", but if not done properly, the whole effect is ruined.

Maybe we will get a closer look at it at the 2011 CES in Las Vegas this January.
