'pic3D' plastic films can be placed on any LCD monitor to create a glasses-free 3D display
at japan's recent 3D and virtual reality expo, global wave demoed its series of 'pic3D' film covers for phone and monitor screens, capable of converting any LCD display into a glasses-free 3D set.
'pic3D' sheets make use of a lenticular lens system instead of the parallax barrier found in most 3D films, a change in technology that is purported to offer light transmission levels of 90% and a 120° field of view.
the product works with a downloadable software application that converts side-by-side imaging to stereoscopic views, which appear 3D when seen through the 'pic3D' sheets. the application also permits users to input video URLs from sites like youtube in order to watch 3D-like content.
sheets are currently made in 12.1-inch (1280x800p), 15.6-inch (1366x768p), 21.5-inch (1920x1080p), 23-inch (1920x1080p), and to fit iPhone4 and iPod touch and iPad 2, ranging in price from 2000 yen
(about 25 USD) for the iPhone cover to 15,000 yen (about 185 USD) for the 23-inch sheet.
