Glasses-free 3d virtual reality made easy

Tridelity's TT Driver
Tridelity AG and Techviz will be presenting a very intuitive virtual reality system which enables users manipulate 3d objects using a simple 20cm cube at the Laval Virtual this year.
The system is based on a tracking system placed on top of the auto-stereoscopic display which tracks special markers placed on the box. The tracking communicates with the 3D application and rotates the object accordignly.
The great thing about it is not only that it's easy to use, but that it's compatible with most OpenGL based applications.

  1. I think something similar is possible on GE's website; you manipulate the 3D image via a printed paper containing a code read by the screen (I don't know if it's the same tracking system though..) http://ge.ecomagination.com/smartgrid/#/landing_page
    and Tissot's 3D window shop that allows you try on their watches via a paper wristband. http://www.digitalsignage.net/2011/04/08/how-augmented-reality-turns-a-paper-wristband-into-a-luxury-watch/. So the ''3D- without glasses' use is highly varied and rich.

  2. Hi,
    it's pretty much like that, the difference is that it works with existing software and there is no need to develop something new.
