Excited about 3D TV but skeptical about the glasses? You may want to check out a demo of the 3DFusion autostereo (glasses-free) 3D TV.
3DFusion unveiled its glasses-free flatscreen at the Paul Kagan 3D conference in Gotham in October, generating some buzz on tech websites. We saw it a week later and were impressed enough to invite them to the Variety offices for a demo. We also invited CEO James Carlton of HC 3D and his business partner Charlotte Huggins, producer of “Journey to the Center of the Earth.”
3DFusion prexy Stephen Blumenthal and CEO Ilya Sorokin came to Variety right off the plane without a chance to adjust their gear, and only got the picture to “75%,” according to Blumenthal. Even at that level, Huggins said: “Without a doubt it’s the first glasses-free 3D I’ve ever seen that completely worked for me,” adding that “I have never wanted my HDTV at home to be 3D until (seeing the 3DFusion).”
Carlton said, “I had the same feeling I had when I saw HD for the first time in 2003. If the technology is what it appears to be, it could be groundbreaking.”
3DFusion licensed autostereo patents from Phillips, which abandoned its efforts to market an autostereo TV in the economic downturn. They return to their Gotham HQ today.
L.A.-based Tao 3D has struck deal to become the exclusive West Coast partner of 3DFusion for 2D-to-3D conversion, events and advertising.

EARLIER STORY
3DFusion Shows Off Glasses Free 3D Display
Throw out your 3D glasses you used for the Superbowl and Chuck, and say hello to the 3DFMax stereoscopic Glasses Free Television. Built upon the Philips 3D Solutions, 2D Plus Depth format, the 3DF IP enhances and augments the 3D advancements to the point of achieving the first 3D Broadcast Ready, picture perfect standard for stereoscopic Glasses Free 3D displays.
3DFusion a key Philips North American 3D Solutions Provider and Certified Blue Box Content Creator, has taken the newly released Philips 3D Solutions WOWvx Media Player to the next level. When 3DF coupled its 3DFMax optimizer technology with the latest Philips software upgrade, stated CEO Ilya Sorokin, the results were breathtaking. The Philips 3D Solutions WOWvx product is the undisputed 3D winner, having crossed the 3D finish line first. In our opinion, the 3DFusion No Glasses Stereoscopic 3D is the first and only ‘ready for Prime Time’ 3DTV.
Steve Blumenthal, President of 3DFusion remarked, Philips 3D Solutions deserves all the credit, they baked a great cake, we just added the icing. From my perspective, the new release of the Philips 3D Solutions WOWvx Media Player, makes the Philips ASD package the ‘go to’ market leader in stereoscopic No Glasses 3D. Philips 3D Solutions stands alone in providing the only complete end to end technology solution capable of finally delivering the Holy Grail of Auto stereoscopic 3D.
3DFusion has incorporated this historical first to market 3D solution into 3 products. They are the 3DFusion 3D Digital Signage, multi panel Kiosk for AOOH Ad Nets, the 3DF turnkey 3D in a Box platform for all non-network applications. The planned 3DFusion Artist Guild for 2D to 3D conversion is a membership-based Guild dedicated to developing advanced 3D content rendering and conversion tools designed to support the end user.
