NEC rolling out 3D to home computer market
April 19, 2010
3D display technology is planned for kiosk and digital signage deployments later this year, and reports today indicate it could also come to home computing in a similar timeframe.
Japan Today reports that NEC this week unveiled a prototype of a 3D capable desktop it plans to release in Japan this fall. The computer allows users to view 3D images with the aid of polarized glasses, and is expected to cost $100 to $200 more than non-3D versions of the system.
Market Watch notes that NEC is the first manufacturer to make a full-scale entry into the 3D personal computer market, although competitor Asustek is expected to launch a 3D desktop later this year.
This is not NEC's first entry into personal 3D. The company offered a 3D capable laptop in 2004, which Japan Today reports was hampered by its high price and lack of available content.
