Posted on February 9, 2012 by iGennie Technical Services

Glasses-free 3D enabled laptops are now demanded for like hot cakes. But what if you already posses a laptop which you do not intend to change but crave for a glasses-free 3 D. Your wish seems to have been granted as now you can get the Glasses free 3D functionality right in your old laptop other than spending hefty bucks over a brand new 3D enabled laptop. The latest technology news reveals that the 3D expert professionals of Spatial View Inc. have developed the 3DeeScreen, Which is an external accessory that provides similar impact and effect of glasses-free 3D to your present 2D laptop.

The 3DeeScreen is designed to be fitted over the screen of any supported 15.6-inch laptop. It is rather a lenticular lens filter that uses a magnetized mounting frame to embrace your laptop monitor. Once attached and activated it performs its 3D functions in collaboration with the 3Dee Screen software and project the expected effect of 3D content exclusive of the special glasses. This technology holds close resemblance with the technology used in the Toshiba Qosmio F755-3D290. In spite of the resemblance, this 3DeeScreen functions as an externally added accessory and not an inherent part of the laptop.

The eye-tracking technology in 3DeeScreen is used to fine-tune the auto-stereoscopic images on the fly. It separately projects the right and left views to hit the respective right and left eyes of the viewers. A special feature offered by the Spatial View 3DeeScreen software is the playback of 3D Blu-ray movies on your laptop on the condition that it is already installed with a Blu-ray drive. Now, it is necessary to know the pre requisites and types of laptop that can support the Spatial View 3DeeScreen to operate and be functional.

System requirements:

• Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processor
• A discrete graphics processor by Nvidia or AMD
• A webcam with the capacity to capture 30 frames/second
• Webcam resolution of 640-by-480 or better

On speaking about their product and its specialty Spatial View general manager Ihor Petelycky said, “Wearing 3D glasses to view content on portable devices such as laptops is not desirable for users. However, current glasses-free display technology has not provided the quality and flexibility users expect. Our goal is to provide a superior 3D viewing experience and enable existing laptops with 3D functionality at a reasonable price. With 3DeeScreen, Spatial View has achieved that goal.”

But, as everything has a limitation so it is with Spatial View. Till date, it is supported by only few laptops listed with Dell and Hewlett-Packard laptops. Dell Inspiron 1564 is one of the laptops that exclusively support this 3D functional software. To get a more vivid idea about the complete list of supported laptops visit the product webpage. The 3D content for 3D images and video can be availed for your laptop through 3DeeCentral which is the exclusive one-stop shop of Spatial View. Though now, a meager content is readily available but this list consists of rich content variety of numerous concerts, documentaries, and short films all with the compact effect of 3D.
