Samsung launched the Odyssey 3D (G90XF) gaming monitor earlier this year, pioneering glasses-free 3D gaming. Now, the company details the advanced technology powering this innovative display.
Glasses-Free 3D Experience with Eye Tracking and Lenticular Lens
The 27-inch 4K IPS monitor delivers a glasses-free 3D experience by using real-time eye tracking, view mapping, and a lenticular lens. A stereo camera tracks the user’s eyes—even when wearing glasses—to provide precise depth visuals from various angles, eliminating the need for special eyewear.
Core Technologies Delivering Dynamic 3D Visuals
At the core are three technologies: eye tracking, which monitors eye position and movement; view mapping, which calculates the correct pixel placement for each eye; and a lenticular lens that directs distinct images to each eye via light refraction. This combination allows the monitor to adjust 3D visuals dynamically as users move.
High Performance and Reduced Visual Discomfort
Beyond 3D, the Odyssey 3D excels as a high-performance gaming monitor, featuring fast response times and superior image quality for 2D content. To minimize visual disturbances like crosstalk and glare, Samsung applies advanced calibration techniques, intelligent eye tracking, and anti-reflective coatings for enhanced clarity.
