Epson spread the news today about a high-resolution autostereoscopic display for mobiles. It has 384 x 256 3D-pixels for each eye with a screen width of only 2,57 inches - not too bad. We’ve seen a lot of these displays already (see Tanja’s post about Newsight), but this one is - according to Epson - much sharper and more vivid. It uses the usual technology for autostereoscopic displays, but has additional lenticular lenses in front of the display:

That means that the next iPhone might boast 3D-images and that we can play 3D-games on the next PSP? Coooool, ey.

(in their article, they say the displays are 1024×768, but you can only see 384×256 in 3D according to Epson’s information in the article linked above)

The german company Newsight is developing the so called “autostereoscopic” displays. With this technology it is possible to look at a real footage scene or a 3D scene from different angles by moving your position in real space without wearing stupid googles.
You see the object with a similar effect which you would get with 3D glasses that are used in combination with the corresponding content to create a three dimensional illusion. This video shows the reaction of the people seeing one of these displays in action.

These illustrations show what it’s like to look at autostereoscopic displays. Pretty cool I’d say - it would be interesting to develop interactive installations with it, as they are available up to 57″ (1,3 m width, 0,8 m height) in full HD!
