I still routinely use Nvidia 3D vision to build protein structures into electron density maps. Nvidia hasn't updated the driver in generations, and no new compatible displays or parts have been made in eons, but it's an invaluable tool. My concern is that Wayland is going to kill it entirely. There is definitely a market for this.
I'm using a Dell S2716DG which is a 27" 1440p TN panel at 120 Hz. As far as I'm aware, there were only ever a few 1440p models that got 3D Vision (officially). I've tried running 3D Vision on an OLED ultrawide I have, and it works, but only on the bottom of the screen. I assume something to do with the refresh rate (144 Hz) or pixel response time (which I think isn't great with OLED).
I'm driving it with an A4500, on Linux (openSUSE mainly), 3-pin to the USB emitter, with glasses. The A4500 is somewhat gimped because only the 470.xx driver works. With the newer drivers X11 detects the display and emitter but displays both frames simultaneously. I think it might have something to do with the stereo declaration in the xorg.conf file being different with the newer drivers, but I'm still chasing down that lead.
LOL, what? There are indeed 3D displays with eye tracking built in that do this. I was just at Display Week expo last week and saw a handful of new models, and they've been around for years.
The real use case is eye catching advertising, distracting passers by and stealing attention.
Price is getting more competitive though with VR and 3D TV, once you include the cost of the PC needed to drive them. Might start seeing them in a few specialist places like your more exclusive dental surgery. Is 32" big enough for architects to sell designs to customers?
How long is that actually going to work? At some point the novelty will wear off and people will just walk past it, adding just another noise generator to our urban environment.
This reminds me of the fad of placing beacons everywhere in shopping centers that sent out "helpful" (annoying) notifications to anyone's phone who walked by.
It’s lenticular but with 100 different possible angles, so there’s no eye tracking needed and it works with multiple viewers. The tradeoff is it seems you need to pump a lot of data in for all those views, and you probably need a pretty high resolution and brightness screen. There’s a good description in their docs:
I've got the Portrait and it's pretty good. Definitely not "this is ACTUALLY 3D!" but certainly in the "huh, that's got some depth" zone. It's much more impressive if you have "real" depth maps (ie you're rendering the content, using stereoscopic cameras, LIDAR, iPhone Portraits etc.) - most of the stuff on mine is ML'd depth maps from old photos.
I have been working on a portable camera array to put real video on these displays. The video demos are either projected depth maps or very expensive, stationary, indoor camera rigs. Despite trying to stay away from AI generation, making the array sparse, then synthesizing missing angles and dropped frames actually solved a lot of problems better than more hardware.
When something improves by an order of magnitude, prior descriptors may be misleading. (wealthy people take advantage of this oversight all the time in my experience).
I don't get it. What does that mean? A state of the art processor now is just the same bucket of transistors invented in 1954. But they are incomparable in complexity and functionality.
It’s all just carefully arranged sand used to send photons at our eyeballs, maybe with some bits of metal to spice things up. A laptop is really the same thing as a stained glass window from hundreds of years ago.

I hate when they use the word "holographic" when it has nothing to do with holograms.

They haven’t seen much adoption however.
