Remember that Apple patent for hyper-reality 3D displays that tracked user's head location and automagically rotated objects? The folks over at Construction Software Advice sure do, and they let us know about a little demo they're calling Apple 3D Head-Tracking - The Ultimate Display for Construction.

Will we see this live on our iPhone or Mac any time soon? Who knows, but the future is coming and concept previews help make the wait just a tad easier. (Seriously, future, get here now!)

    That's cool and all, but does it work if you're black?

    Disclaimer: Not being racist - look for the articles on the HP laptop webcam face tracking fail.

    its crazy how 3d technology is taking off. they now have touchable 3d and they are coming out with 3d displays that you dont need glasses for. insane stuff. i still feel its a bit of a gimmick however.

  4. Yong Bodison says:

    i by no means expected 3d technology to lift off so significantly. I have been reading a great deal in the news latley about products that are soon to be released. 3d will be all around you in the future.
