Microsoft streams images into each eye to create 3D

To what might seem a relief, Microsoft has come up with another innovation. This time to replace those heavily priced 3D glasses with new technology of streaming images into eyes to create 3D. Being crated by Microsoft’s Applied Sciences Group, it is done by using a camera that tracks the viewer’s eyes and a new special lens, which is shaped like a wedge. With the thickness of 11mm at the top and 6mm at the bottom, the lens can steer light into the eyes by just switching on and off the light-emitting diodes present along its bottom edge. This is still in prototype, so you might have to put up with the glasses for some time. In addition to being a prototype, its another drawback is that only two people can watch 3D at one time, which means one image per eye and four people can watch 2D video, which means one image per person.
