our 2013 CES coverage is powered by Ford go further what's up everyone John Wrentham TechnoBuffalo here live from CES 2013 what you got behind me looks like any other TV but this TVs got a secret up its sleeve let's go ahead and take a first look at this glasses-free 3d television so the past several years at CES three technologies been all the rage primarily it's been active three meeting you gotta wear special glasses that are powered essentially take each frame in the eye and go back and forth back and forth to simulate a 3d effect I've got a Samsung television at home personally it's got active 3d glasses it's fun to watch a movie every now and then but honestly over a couple hours it gives me a headache the other option for comedians passive 3d which you got to where essentially polarized glasses some of what you get when you go to a regular 3d movie theater LG for example uses passive 3d what Dobies got behind us is completely glasses-free 3d now it's just a prototype it's a dual venture between Dolby and Philips so use something called stereoscopic technology if you guys remember the old baseball cards or as you move them you saw the batter swing it's kind of the same idea here we've seen stereoscopic 3d in the past on televisions but we've always had to sit in a sweet spot he had to sit in just the right spot to make sure you could see the 3d right here then you can actually stand anywhere and completely say the 3d effect now it's not as impressive a 3d as you do get with those active glasses or even those passive glasses but you do see a 3d effect and you don't have any of the potential side effects you could have with those other two options no etics no silly glasses and you could sit absolutely anywhere you want to see it so this is a complete end-to-end solution and Dobby was telling us that they're trying to get this out for multiple screen sizes so not just television it could work on tablets ik work on phones and technologies not just in the screen the content providers have to be on board at this and it's got to be sort of from end to end completely vertically integrated let's get the technology to come to the mainstream for now those a proof of concept and it's one that works and is very cool took a lot I look at it on some tablets which we've seen a little bit before and worked very well you know we see looks like he's dancing or coming right at us so glass is free 3d this is the kind of 3d I hope to have in my home my romp to look silly to give myself a headache and I can have friends sitting anywhere and still get the same 3d effect I'm John rent from TechnoBuffalo I'll see you next video thanks again to Ford you
