Toshiba unveils flat-screen 3-D display

[dArKeR]

Toshiba said yesterday it has found a way for a flat screen to show three-dimensional images, opening up the prospect of arcade games, next-generation TVs and even restaurant menus that can zoom out at a viewer even without the use of 3-D glasses.

The Japanese electronics giant said it had improved on standard 3-D technology -- which uses specially shaped screens that must be watched from a fixed point -- by using microlenses that control light emission and special software.

Toshiba set a goal of first using the technology next year in arcade games.

1. Cute tech...that no one can afford!

People already are NOT buing the wide screen HDTV's that the big corporations have been pushing for the last few years. They have these nagging little expenses in the way like FOOD. And now they expect us to fork over money to watch crap like "Desperate Housewives" in 3D? Pull my other finger, it plays Jingle Bells.
