Clever Engineering on 3D TV...

Toshiba is showing a new large-format 3D television receiver that doesn't require viewers to wear any special glasses.  The technology involved is quite understandable (though complex) – it actually transmits different images to viewers' left and right eyes to create the stereoscopic visual effects.  To do this, the TV has to know where the viewers are located – and it does this by using a camera to watch all the faces watching it.  Awesome!

Personally I'm more interested in such a display as a computer screen than I am as a television.  I can think of all sorts of uses for 3D displays for computer users...
