A NEW kind of laptop computer is expected to land this year, featuring technology that allows users to view content in 3D onscreen, with no need to wear special glasses. This innovation is currently being demonstrated at CES 2023, now underway in Las Vegas.

Who said 3D was dead? Certainly not Asus, which is at the Las Vegas consumer tech show presenting its first laptops to feature a new 3D-vision technology that does not require any special glasses. In fact, at any time, the user can switch from 2D to 3D mode.

This autostereoscopic 3D display delivers a three-dimensional effect that paves the way for immersive glasses-free 3D experiences on a laptop. Technically, this is achieved by the presence of a lenticular lens combined with advanced eye-tracking camera technology.

This allows the system to "create" images seen differently by each eye, which accentuates the impression of 3D. It is a world first on a PC.

This technology, called Spatial Vision, displays a 3D image on an OLED screen, for a unique visual experience.

At its origin, this technology was largely intended for designers, so that they can "visualise" their works in 3D if necessary, without having to invest in 3D glasses. But these computers will also no doubt appeal to fans of 3D games and, in the long run, could prove useful for certain applications related to the metaverse.

Two initial laptops – the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 and Vivobook Pro 16 3D OLED – will be equipped with this technology. They are slated for release later this year, with pricing yet to be announced. – ETX Daily Up, January 7, 2023
