3D without glasses - new Samsung patent

The company has patented new holographic technologies that can be used in televisions. They will allow you to enjoy 3d graphics without the use of special glasses.

The patent concerns television displays of a new generation in which holographic technologies will be used. The breakthrough was the fact that you can watch images and video in the format of three-dimensional reality without glasses with special glasses.

The first 3d TVs, having appeared on the market, did not produce the expected furore. Users were not delighted, as each of the new models required the use of glasses. The main idea of the new development of Samsung is precisely in the absence of the need to use additional devices.

The idea of viewing 3D without glasses is not new, many companies are working on its implementation. For example, Apple also paid attention to this topic as part of the i3D project. Using the iPad as an example, the possibilities of realizing a three-dimensional image using certain movements of the device and the head of the beholder were shown.

Obviously, Samsung is working hard to endow ordinary TVs with additional features. The holographic screen is the next step after the implementation of the already well-known 3d TV.

The patent application describes in detail the imperfect device of 3d TVs, the characteristic problems in using such a technique, the disadvantages of the binocular parallax method, which makes it difficult to increase the number of viewing points. The technology used earlier was inherently associated with a sense of fatigue, since the depth of perception of the picture with the eye and brain was different.

Also in the patent documents there is a description of all the details with explanations, a description of the components necessary for the operation of a holographic TV. The new device may contain a special unit that tracks the viewer's eye and monitors the position of the pupils.

The application for registration was filed with the US Patent Office in January of this year, it was published just now.

Not all patented inventions are implemented in practice. Therefore, it is impossible to say with confidence that a holographic TV will be on sale. If the project is successful, users will be able to purchase a new device and enjoy 3d without glasses.
