The built-in stereo digital camera and proprietary View Mapping know-how repeatedly modify the picture to reinforce depth notion and create that all-important phantasm of 3D. The know-how right here is just like how Acer dealt with glasses-free 3D with its Helios 300 SpatialLabs Version laptop computer or the ASUS ProArt StudioBook 16, solely with a a lot greater type issue.
To that finish, the Odyssey 3D will likely be accessible in sizes as much as 37 inches.

The screens embody a DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports on the again. The peak-adjustable stand additionally tilts to assist customers discover one of the best place for 3D. Once more, glasses-free 3D is finicky and the monitor will doubtless require some maneuvering to get every part good.
This isn’t vaporware. Samsung says the monitor will likely be accessible by the top of yr. Nevertheless, there may be the matter of worth. The corporate stays mum on the entire price and that’s doubtless as a result of it’ll be extraordinarily costly. Traditionally, Samsung Odyssey gaming screens are dear, and that’s with out glasses-free 3D.
