Asus brings glasses-free 3D display technology to its OLED laptops

During CES 2023 in Las Vegas today, Asus announced an upcoming feature that allows users to view and work with content in 3D without wearing 3D glasses. Similar technology has been used in a few laptops and monitors before, but Asus is integrating the feature for the first time into its OLED laptop displays. Along with high refresh rates and unique input methods like integrated dial and the latest mobile CPUs and GPUs, the company is promoting laptops with Asus spatial vision It features powerful, niche options for creative professionals looking for new ways to work.

Asus’ Spatial Vision 3D technology will debut on two laptops in the second quarter of this year: ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED (H7604) And the Vivobook Pro 16 3D OLED (K6604).

Both laptops feature a 16-inch, 3200 x 2000 resolution OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The OLED panel is covered with an optical resin layer, a glass plate, and a lenticular layer. The lenticular lens works with a pair of eye-tracking cameras to deliver real-time images to each eye that adapts to your physical movements.

At a press briefing, an Asus spokesperson said that’s because OLED Monitors claim reduced gray to gray response time From 0.2ms, in addition to the extremely high contrast that comes with OLED, there is no overlap between the left and right eye image, ensuring more realistic content. However, Asus’ product pages for laptops acknowledge that experiences may vary, and some may still experience “dizziness or crosstalk for other reasons, and this varies by individual.” Asus said it’s looking forward to offering users demos, which are worth experimenting with before committing to this unique feature.

On top of the lenticular lens is a 2D/3D liquid crystal switching layer, which is topped by a glass front panel with an anti-reflective coating. According to Asus, it will be easy to switch from 2D mode to 3D mode and back again. When the laptops are not in 3D mode, their display will appear as a high-spec OLED display, Asus claims.

Laptops can apply a 3D effect to any game, movie, or content that supports 3D. However, content not designed for 3D viewing may appear “choppy” in the demo the edge opinion. Laptops are primarily for professionals who work with 3D models and content, such as designers and architects.

Both laptops will be shipped with the Spatial Vision Hub software. It includes a model viewer, a movie and video player, and an image viewer for turning side-by-side photos taken with a 180-degree camera into a stereoscopic 3D image, and a connector, a plug-in that Asus’ product page says is compatible with “various apps and tools, so you can easily view any project in 3D.” Dimensions.”

Asus’ Spatial Vision laptops have similar 3D glasses to some of the Acer products that have already been released. In May, Acer announced SpatialLabs View and SpatialLabs View Pro portable screens It can convert 2D content into stereoscopic 3D by projecting images to the left and right eyes and projecting them through an optical lens. The monitors require an Intel Core i7 CPU and an RTX 3070 Ti for laptops or an RTX 2080 for desktops. Asus laptops give you everything you need to experience emerging technology.

Acer also released its glasses-free 3D-enabled laptops, the ConceptD SpatialLabs Edition Clamshell’s workstation-esque Acer Predator Helios 300 Spatial Edition Gaming laptop.

Asus products show an increasing interest in making 3D design work easier, without sacrificing high-end display specifications. However, early players like Asus and Acer are burdened with proving value to workers doing things like 3D rendering. Asus Spatial Vision will try to encourage them by including access to development tools built on the Simulated Reality platform from 3D spatial Technology. demenkoincluding “supporting materials and instructions” about things like gesture control.
