In what could be a revolutionary step NEC worked out a deal with Magnetic that will enable regular NEC monitors to show 3D video content using Magnetic’s Enabl3D technology. If everything goes according to plan then you'll be able to experience the amazing 3D content that literally appears to pop more than a foot off the screen without using any special glasses. “This exciting new 3D technology is poised to revolutionize the digital signage industry,” said Jeff Blankensop, Director of Business Development at NEC Displays Solutions. “More and more network operators and systems integrators are looking to engage and entertain their customers at point of sale with content that differentiates them from traditional 2D displays. The decision to partner with Magnetic made perfect sense once we saw the Enabl3D solution.”

The company said, the partnership with Magnetic will provide NEC’s clients with the ability to play 2- and 3D content with virtually no discernable loss of resolution. That will make it easier for NEC’s customers to transition into 3D.

“Now the next big thing is 3D. The only thing that was holding back the adoption of 3D was the availability of content for that format. Magnetic’s solution solves that problem, enabling 2D content to be displayed without loss of resolution, so there is no downside to adopting the technology. Everyone should be Enabl3D,” said Magnetic CEO Tom Zerega.

Just to showcase what 3d will be without glasses, NEC unveiled a 57" 3D-Enabled display for retail digital signage applications.
