QOSMIO F750

Toshiba has showcased what it calls the world's first laptop with a 3D display that doesn't need a pair of special glasses, not unlike the LG Optimus 3D or the Nintendo 3DS

QOSMIO F750

Qosmio F750 is an otherwise fairly standard Windows 7 based laptop

that will come with a rather steep recommended retail

price of £1300 including VAT

Quad core Intel Core i7-2630QM

second generation Sandy Bridge processor running at 2GHz, 6GB RAM,

Nvidia GeForce GT540M GPU with 2GB RAM,

The F750-10Q also comes with a webcam that tracks user eye position and displays slightly different pictures to each eye to create a very peculiar 3D effect

you will be able to display both 2D and 3D content at the same

time on the display although early tests show that you will

have to sit in a fixed position for the 3D to work.

WHAT IS 3D?

WHAT IS 3D?

three-dimensional, width, height and depth (length).

Our physical environment is three-dimensional and we move around in 3D every day.

3D perception, also known as depth perception

the retina in each eye forms a two-dimensional image of our surroundings and our brain processes these two images into a 3D visual experience.

WHAT IS 3D(stereoscopic vision or binoculars) is not the only way to see in 3D.

with one eye (monocular vision) can still perceive the world in 3D,

THEY ARE SIMPLY MISSING ONE OF THE TOOLS TO SEE IN 3D,

Stereoscopic vision: Accommodation:

Parallax

Size familiarity:

Aerial perspective:

3D world on a flat (2D) surface

aerial perspective and familiarity size (video camera).

CGI scenes, aerial perspective so that MUST be added Distant objects appear less clearly (this is Called distance fog).

 DISPLAY COMMON METHODS INCLUDE:

Anaglyphic processing (red / cyan glasses):

Polarized light system (polarized filter glasses):

Active shutter system (LCD shutter glasses):

THE EARLIEST FORMS OF 3D TECHNOLOGY

mid-19th century, Charles Wheatstone

In the late 19th and early 20th century

1930s, stereoscope was a popular novelty in bars and arcades

ADVANTAGES

will make your eyes create some illusion of depth thus,

imbalance and disorientation
