Giant no glasses 3d display

It's the Star Trek bridge display!

Philips is showing a remarkable display array at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin this weekend, a screen that not only diagonally measures 132 inches, but can show 3-D pictures without making you wear those annoying glasses. No, it's not a single gigantic flat panel display — it's nine 42-inch displays placed together on a 3 x 3 grid.

Philips uses what it calls WOWvx 3-D technology to trick your eyes and brain into thinking they're seeing depth within the room-sized frame. It's done using a special lenticular lens apparatus sitting atop each one of the nine displays, cleverly aided and abetted by sophisticated digital signal processing software and hardware hidden behind the screen.
