Chinese scientists from the Shanghai Jiaotong University have developed electronic tablets that allow viewing of three-dimensional (3D) images naturally , that is, without the need for glasses or any other device placed in front of the eyes.
The new technology will allow users to enjoy 3D content without experiencing any type of dizziness or discomfort in their eyes , according to Fang Yong, deputy director of the light spectrum modulation technology center at the Wuxi Research Institute in Jiaotong and responsible for the project, to the Xinhua agency. His team has patented the technology to apply it to televisions and computers as well, and he expects the first tablets to hit the market this year, while televisions could do so by 2015.
These findings will be presented next month at the 15th China International Industrial Fair, to be held in Shanghai, and will be attended by more than 60 Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese and South Korean universities.
There other Shanghai universities will also present advances such as a traffic management computer service that advises drivers in real time on the best routes to avoid traffic jams in the city, a garbage can that sorts waste and a robot that automatically cleans the ground.
