How are you supposed to create the same parallax effect for everyone, whether they\u2019re up front or way in the back? Researchers at MIT CSAIL and Israel\u2019s Weizmann Institute for Science finally have a practical answer. Their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il\/~netefrat\/cinema3D\/\">Cinema 3D<\/a> tech creates multiple parallax barriers in a single display, using lenses and mirrors to deliver a range of angles across the whole theater. And unlike previous attempts at large-scale glasses-free 3D, you don\u2019t have to take a hit to resolution.<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t get to forego the unwieldy eyewear for a while. The prototype is only slightly larger than a pad of paper, and uses 50 lens\/mirror combos to achieve its 3D effect. You\u2019d need a far bigger and more intricate system to make it work at the local movie house, which might make it prohibitively expensive. However, it\u2019s imaginable that a future, optimized version might find its way into theaters and spare you from one of the biggest hassles in modern moviegoing.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2016\/07\/25\/glasses-free-3d-movie-theater-screen\/\">https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2016\/07\/25\/glasses-free-3d-movie-theater-screen\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching glasses-free 3D on a TV is no longer an outlandish concept, but that hasn\u2019t been true for movie theaters.
