Tired of wearing 3D glasses at the movie theater? That may be about to change.
MIT reports
that the school’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory and the Weizmann Institute of Science have created a way for
audiences to watch 3D movies without having to wear those goofy shades.
The
technology is called Cinema 3D and works by placing a series of mirrors
and lenses behind the screen to ensure that viewers are able to get a
3D viewing experience from anywhere in the theater.
That’s
a big deal, considering that current glasses-free 3D experiences, like
Nintendo’s 3DS handheld console, require you to view the screen from a
single position.
Cinema
3D isn’t quite ready to hit the market yet, though. MIT says the
prototype required 50 sets of mirrors and lenses and was about the size
of a pad of paper.
Still, if you’ve ever had to wear 3D glasses over your prescription specs, you can imagine how useful this technology could be.
