Ultra-D Technology Converts Video for use with Glasses-Free 3D

They'll be showing off the first products using their tech at CES next month.

Glasses-free 3D is the next step in the evolutionary process. Whether it will actually take off in the mainstream or not is anyone's guess, but it's a clear step forward in terms of convenience and consumer demands.

The folks at Stream TV are working to make glasses-free 3D even more convenient for companies that want to make it happen. Their new technology is called Ultra-D and it handles conversion of videos and pictures for glasses-free displays. It doesn't just do 2D video either - it converts other 3D formats to glasses-free 3D as well.

"Our ultimate goal was to create a solution that addresses existing concerns impeding the adoption of 3D," says Stream TV CEO Mathu Rajan. "It seemed we were aiming for the impossible but we've made it possible and will be sharing these hard-won achievements with consumers in 2012."

The first line of products to use Ultra-D technology will be shown at CES in January.
