We might not have chosen the above weird baby chick to pitch our autostereoscopic technology to the world, but at least it makes for some memorable imagery. The hatchling is a 3D image generated by projectors, overlayed on top of a real world object, which can be viewed by multiple people at multiple angles without the need for 3D glasses. Built-in sensors detect the viewer's positions and adjust the viewing angle accordingly. Of course, this isn't the first time we've seen this sort of technology (http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/sonys-360-degree-raymodeler-3d-display-brings-its-glasses-free/) -- heck, this isn't even the first time we've seen this sort of thing from Hitachi (http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/10/hitachi-works-up-new-stereoscopic-vision-display-technology/), but the company says it's continually getting better, with a marked depth resolution improvement over a technology shown off this time last year at CEATEC (http://www.engadget.com/tag/CEATEC/). The company is looking to implement the technology for both digital signage and entertainment purposes, eventually revolutionizing the way the world looks at 3D baby chickens.http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/30/hitachi-glasses-free-3d-technology-lets-you-view-weird-chicken-t/
