Samsung has revealed how some of the tech works behind its impressive, glasses-free gaming monitor at Gamescom 2024.
Samsung’s new Odyssey 3D monitor was a hit at CES earlier this year, showcasing a comfortable and immersive 3D gaming experience — all without the need for special glasses. But details were scarce.
Now, it’s being shown off again along with the new game announcements Gamescom to drum up more interest — and revealing some of the juicy details behind the tech.
According to the company, the Odyssey 3D monitor features a light field display (LFD) technology that is said to create lifelike 3D images from 2D content by using a lenticular lens on the front panel. Samsung says this special type of lens is what allows two different images to be projected to each eye, creating the illusion of 3D visuals.
Additionally, there is eye tracking that monitors the movement of both eyes using a built-in stereo camera, and view mapping can continuously adjust the image to enhance depth perception.
Samsung showed off the technology by using a life simulation game called “inZOI,” serving as an exclusive first preview of the game.
