World's First 46-inch Stereoscopic 3-D TV

Do you really need to credit Engadget when it's basically... you?

Sorry, just seems funny.

Oh wow, too bad I didn't save my 3D glasses from the 50's. I remember they gave them out with your ticket for the movie..."The Blob"

I believe that someone is eventually going to take advange of the parallax that exists with our eyes, without glasses being required. Maybe it will be a holographic TV set. Even back in the '70's I saw such images (without glasses) at Disney World in Orlando, and of course that's what you can get a sense of in Star Wars and Star Trek: The Next Generation. As long as no physical laws are violated, we will find a way to make this work.

I DO still have my three-d-glasses! Woo Hoo!

OK, the 3-D glasses are obviously not shown in the same scale as the image of the TV. So they are NOT "3 foot wide"! The grey-lensed Polarized glasses always signaled the deluxe type of 3-D presentation, delivering full color to both eyes, unlike the "analglyph" glasses with one red lens and one blue-green lens. Just think of all the terrific 3-D movies (most released in 1953) this set would allow us to collect and view as the film-makers intended! "Kiss Me, Kate", "Second Chance", Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder", "The Creature from the Black Lagoon", "It Came from Outer Space", and dozens more, none of which have been viewable in their original format (except for an occasional 3-D Festival) for over half a century! This is great! I can't wait to get a look at this gizmo!

1986 Disney World, Captain Eo, with Michael Jackson. Best 3-D ever!

I guess this means Ralph Kramden finally has to buy a set for Alice

Whithin ten years we will have the television that mounts in the corner of your living room and goes from floor to cieling wall to wall covering approx. 8'ft. accross to 10'ft.high and comes away from the corner of the room approx. 4'ft.deep. Something similar to what they had in Minority Report only on a personal level because they will be for consumer's first. I know it sound's to far in the future but thats what dream's are all about!!! Right? I saw it so it will be there... Sincerely;MMW.Huff

i read about people trying to make these several years ago.--im so glad they were able to do it!!

i read a post about 2years ago about people trying to make stereoscopic tv's where you did not have to use glasses!!!!

Also they were trying to make one were you cound display different programs depending on what direction you looked at the screen!!

Bring on the Porn baby ....be carefull, don't want ur eye poked out, do ya? lol

I hope your comment about having to wear 3' wide glasses, judging from the image scale of the pictured TV, was a joke. If not, aren't you concerned about the "3D" logo and car hanging half way out of the screen -- Gee, someone could get run over!!!!

The TV wall in TOTAL RECALL is my idea of imersion entertainment.
3D and holographic imag projection would be perfect to see the nuances of the golf greens. 2D just makes it look flat.

If the U.S. is as quick to adopt this innovation as we have been to adopt others from Japan and Europe it will be a long, long time before we see 3-D TV and even then most of the programs will have to be subtitled in English.
I've loved 3-D ever since the days of the stereopticon and ViewMaster. I hope I'm still around for this one.

I worked with an inventor who had a workable, great looking 3-D TV 20 years ago. Worked with polarized glasses. Unfortunity he was less than stable and would demonstrate the set but not sell it as he thought the moment he did "they" would kill him. I was really wonderful and he had a patient pending, but there was nothing we could do to get him to release it.

Oh yes the Blob was, I remember wearing those glasses and it looking like the blob was oozing righ off the screen to get me.....My younger brother actually jumped onto his seat! The Blob was for sure 3D.
