Acer Reveals First 3D Laptop
Acer revealed the "world's first" 3D laptop using in-house software, a special screen coating, and polarized glasses.
Acer has been a busy little bee today, revealing various products like the Windows 7 Multitouch notebook and the 11.6-inch Aspire Timeline CULV notebook. Acer also displayed the world's first mainstream 3D laptop during the press conference today as well, the oddly-named Acer Aspire 5738PG.
According to Pocket Lint's hands-on report, the device doesn't use hardware-based 3D acceleration like Nvidia's 3D Vision GPU, but rather relies on a software solution called Acer 3D CineReal and the TriDef suite. However the software works in conjunction with a special 3D coating on the laptop's screen and a pair of polarized glasses.
Acer actually goes into detail about the technology here, revealing that the TriDef Media Player within the CineReal software can convert 2D videos and photos on-the-go. On the other hand, PC Pro said that there are drawbacks to Acer's 3D technology. Viewers are required to have their heads positioned carefully to see the 3D effects without ghosting. The screen also has some very slight horizontal lines that apparently are a side effect of the 3D technology.
As for the laptop hardware, the device uses Intel's Centrino2 processor, up to 4 GB of memory, and the 3rd generation of Dolby Home Theater. The cost will be somewhere around $1,500.

At least wait to see how well it fares. Maybe this one will blow your mind, or at least get you to reconsider.
Maybe at the moment. Don't forget this is a rather new product segment, the early versions are bound to be on the not-so-great side. In the future I bet the will drastically improve on the quality.
Although very true, it is not possible to allow more than one viewer with a head tracking system. I do expect that in a few years we will start to see head tracking for individual users. That probably won't be until after the current systems gather much greater popularity and companies see reason to develop products like that.
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to blow people apart with overpowered guns in real life. Besides, have you ever used them??? I had a set of shutter ones about 4 years back, and games like Doom III looked AWESOME!!!!
No seriusly having glasses on is wack, i use glasses normally what are they gonna doo make perscripsion 3d glasses...sorry for typo`S
Gotta make the tech without the glasse dudes...or else it will fail again.
