CES 2017: Hands on with HoloLamp - 3D Projection without Glasses
3D without any special viewing equipment was supposed to be a thing on TVs a few years ago and has not really caught on however, this UK based company wants to give you table top 3D projections without special glasses. It might just be the right time with the advent of so much mixed and virtual reality options these days.

Remember a few years ago when it seemed everyone was looking to make a 3D television that did not need special equipment like glasses to be viewable?
It seems that market never grew much however, there is a UK based company here at CES 2017 that wants to eventually deliver 3D projection to consumers using their upcoming product called HoloLamp.
I was able to see a brief demo of this technology using prototype hardware, which happens to use Sony's latest short throw projector they just announced this week at CES, to see a 3D scene on a table top.
The actual HoloLamp will look like this once it is ready for market:
The initial target market according to the folks from HoloLamp will be in business and enterprise solutions. One scenario that was described to me was a PDF file received for a meeting/briefing which when opened would project any included 3D models/items into the meeting room.
Ultimately, I could see this technology merging into video and tele-conferencing hardware for a single solution.
Here is a brief video so that you can see teh 3D projection for yourself - no special glasses needed!
But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.
