New 3D displays use head tracking to ditch the glasses

Nobody likes 3D glasses. If 3D tech is going to really take off, it needs to be done sans-glasses. And that's what' AUO is working on, with a new 3D display that uses head tracking to ditch glasses altogether.

Yep, by following your eye movements, the display is able to get 3D working for you in real-time, no glasses required and no dead zones to worry about. They're hoping to have the displays to market by next Fall, but even then expect the prices to be just about insane. But the fact that this tech is on the horizon should give you pause before going out and buying a new glasses-based 3DTV.
