Samsung has introduced a new gaming monitor, Odyssey 3D, whose unique feature is the ability to display three-dimensional images without the use of special glasses or accessories.

When combined with Eye Tracking and View Mapping technologies, Odyssey creates a 3D image that does not require glasses to view: Eye Tracking uses a built-in stereo camera to track the movements of both eyes of the user, and View Mapping adjusts the output image to maintain the effect of depth. The Samsung Odyssey 3D monitor allows you to freely switch between 2D and 3D modes. It is available in 27 and 37 inches - the display has a 4K resolution...
