Re: 3D no glasses displays do exist.

I am fine with glasses.   I have no clue as to how a holographic light process works without laser taken content...Thanks, always something, eg lenticular has its place , but is a niche for all time. Vectography was once available and in the offing, but that was Polaroid based and never took off...too bad it was also cool.

I am content with the available methods.  Namely the old Holmes viewers of cards,  free viewing and the MPO two image displays that are used for separate polaroid or field sequential viewing .

Actually, the viewing part is doable, only the lack of currently available digital means combined with Polaroid.  Except currently for Epson etc projection.  We are at a pause point.  But not for ever.  I am following Brian of the UK on London Stereoscopic Company.  As to anaglyphs, I discovered them in the '50s.  They are acceptable.  For some, as good a presentation for the masses as needed. Me, I seek the full color displays of my two image chromes. But in modern form.   Darn LG for giving up just when they had it knocked.

Light field, may be cool....and unreachable on a mass basis.  NASA fits that one I think
