3D (sort of) on your iPad without glasses

23 May 2011

What i3D does instead is show you several scenes that change perspective as you tilt your iPad side to side and up and down. The effect does not depend on the gyros built into the iPad, but instead uses the camera to track the position of your head and render a changing perspective in real time.

A little bit buggy – it depends a lot I think on the quality of the lighting where you are and the distance you are from the camera – but this is really pretty nifty – 3D without glasses or funny screens (like the 3DS).
