Sony develops 3mm sheet any laptop for 3D

There’s an ongoing question as to how many consumers actually want to watch 3D and desire it as a feature of their devices and gadgets, but industry seems to be pushing forward with including it regardless. While movie theaters love 3D because they can charge a higher price of entry, high-end TVs seem to have it as standard, and now Sony is offering an easy way to add it to any laptop that sports a webcam.

The newly-developed sheet will be manufactured along with the newly announced Vaio VPCSE1Z9E notebook, which is expected to offer glasses-free 3D using the same type of technology. According to the source, the user must be between 0.3m to 1m away from the screen and within a 30 degree angle from the normal for the 3D effect to work. This makes for a small viewing window, so we don’t expect this 3D filter to be compatible with more than one viewer.
