Any hot new tech trend is bound to receive its share of criticism, and 3D has gotten plenty from the perspectives of both content and execution. Chief among these complaints has to be the claimed necessity of glasses. Glasses get lost, get scratched, get broken.
Nintendo deservedly made waves with its unveiling of the 3DS at this year’s E3. The portable console offered a 3D effect without requiring glasses. It just made sense. After all, the more portable the device, the more of a nuisance glasses become. Leaving a few pairs in your living room is one thing, having to carry them on your person at all times is just ridiculous.
Korea-based gadget manufacturer i-Station isn’t going to let a little thing like basic convenience get in its way, however. The company has introduced the Z3D, a seven inch Android tablet features a 3D effect that can only viewed through glasses.
If that’s not enough to turn you off, however, you can pick one up for around $500. The device also features 1080p video support, Android 2.1, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and either 32- or 64GB of storage.
