Group Develops 3D App for iPad – Works Sans Glasses

A post on the web cited the development of a 3D application for the Apple iPad that works glasses-free. The application relies on head-tracking technology and utilizes the iPad 2’s front-facing camera to create immersive 3D environments. The application was developed by Jeremie Francone and Laurence Nigay of the EHCI Research Group. Using the camera the application tracks the movement of a user’s head in front of the screen.
