3D movies have become commonplace over the last while. The black plastic stereo viewing glasses are even piling up at home. Good that glasses-free video displays for home use have become available. However, the technology is still not mature or widespread, and televisions of this kind are still too expensive. Researchers are working on solutions to change that.

A new image processing technique has been developed that allows viewers to watch 3D television while moving freely around the room, without the need for special glasses. This could lead to superior 3D television viewing at a competitive cost.
