TVs and monitors that can display content in 3D, is the big trend at the moment, and for most is that you must have a set of glasses to see 3d effect.

The actual screen used is equipped with an ordinary LCD panel, but in front of it, the researchers placed a newly developed lens that provides for dividing the content from the screen into several parts.

Combined with a camera that keeps an eye on the people who look at the screen, a computer make sure that each person looks at his 3d image. Each image can even be completely different.
