I went to a Japanese television studio in 2006, over 6years ago! and they had a cinema where I watched a glassless 3D movie. It was pretty amazing, before the film started they showed an instructional video on how to adjusted your eyes for viewing the screen, was kinda similar to how you view a magic eye book.

I would love to see this happen. I personally don’t care for 3D showings (2 D’s are enough D’s for me), but if it must go to 3D, glassesless is definitely the way to go.

To the poster above, I think you are confusing the RealD glasses with the Dolby 3D glasses. The Dolby’s are far better than the RealD in my opinion. But they cost more for the theater.

The general public that complains about the glasses also may not realize the different types of glasses being used. I’ve found the RealD glasses to be the best in theaters, as far as comfort and quality. The Imax (or possibly Disney 3D, not sure) 3D glasses I’ve worn were bigger and had cheaper lenses (practically cellophane). And the shutter glasses are by far the most uncomfortable, since they have electronics and batteries that make them the heaviest to wear. Plus, shutter glasses can produce a flickering as a byproduct of how they work.
I also have a 3D tv that uses the same glasses as RealD’s circular polarized glasses, so I can wear the glasses that I use at home at the theater, which are more comfortable and better made. Also, they do make clip-on circular polarized 3D glasses, so people that wear prescription glasses that complain about the weight and problems with wearing two pairs of glasses could invest in a pair of those for less than $10 from places like Amazon.

I recently got a glassesless 3D phone which I’ve really been enjoying. Being able to watch 3D movies without the cheap, smudgy glasses has been a lot more enjoyable, even on a tiny screen. I’d be interested in this.

I would be more interested at least. I definitely want this technology for my tv, I’ve only ever watched one of my movies in 3D and I know I would use it more if I didn’t have to break out the glasses and everything..
