Lenovo is testing glasses-free 2D / 3D computers with a ring controller.

Lenovo’s new ThinkBook 3D Laptop Concept and Hybrid Dimensional 34-inch Curved Monitor, announced at MWC 2025, use directional backlighting and head tracking to simultaneously show 2D and 3D content without glasses. And an accompanying AI Ring concept can be worn to control them with gesture-based spatial controls. It sounds like Leia’s tech, but in my short demo Lenovo reps would not confirm. Maybe 3D is coming back? (I doubt it.)

    Have people memory holed this?

    I have no idea what you mean. I’ve never heard of a new 3DS when did it come out?

      1. It had a bigger screen, eye tracking for the stereo 3D, a built-in second stick nub thingy and a bit more performance. It came in two sizes, to match the OG and XL versions of the base model.

      Kinda nuts that this fell through the cracks for some people. The improvements to the stereo tracking were dramatic.
