Shacknews is reporting on a technology that makes a 3D monitors possible without polarized glasses. While this technology isn't ready for consumers, John Korah of ColorLink, one of the companies working in this area, has said his company is looking at commercial entertainment such as game makers and the porn industry. Hmm, the mind boggles.

TV programs and games do not have to be rewritten to take advantage of the WOW technology, said [Philips 3D president Joe] Swillens. The monitor itself will 3D-ize some content itself. Still, it helps. Viewers seem to like a combination of out-of-screen and behind-screen effects. By working with content producers, 3D effects can be orchestrated.

"Some people get a headache. Some people like it for a long time," said Martin Hiddink, a scientist at Philips Research Labs.

Naturally, Philips is developing tools to port content to 3D. One of the early users could become sports broadcasters, the company said. A base of 3D TVs at home could also encourage more 3D movies.
