International Business Machines, a worldwide leader in technology innovation, has announced a new and affordable 3D video system that works with normal DLP (Digital Light Processing) televisions. Before now, 3D video systems would set you back at least $1,800 while the price of IBM's new system is expected to be only $1000 - if only a grand sounds cheap to you.
Or you could just buy a pair of shutter glasses for 69.95 from this site http://www.ray3d.com/glasses.html/
IBM has managed to alternate the video frames to give the appearance of double projectors without the added cost. This means adding video frames - lots of them. While normal "live" video is 30 frames per second, this device processes 144fps. First you see the frames from the left and then the right perspective giving the image an authentic three dimensional look.
So basically they reinvented the shutter glasses for DLP TVs. Nothing to see here folks, move on!
