Philips demonstrated at CES, its high-tech 42-inch display that uses "patented multi-view lenticular technology in combination with advanced 3D display signal processing to provide an extraordinary 3D viewing experience." Best of all, multiple users can view the 3D content without the use of special glasses. Video after the jump -- includes a wall of 9 displays. Click here for first picture in gallery.
When it comes to interactive 3D gaming, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have nothing on Toshiba's latest display. This innovative technology does not require the user to wear any special glasses to view the 3-dimensional images. It employs "an integral imaging system that reproduces light beams similar of those produced by a real object, not its visual representation." Plus, "viewing the display from an angle allows the viewer to experience 3-D images that stand out several centimeters from the surface of the display." Videos after the break.

Japanese researchers have developed a 3D avatar system that essentially "takes video of a person and automatically gives them a new hairstyle, makeup or outfit." -- all in real-time. Video demonstration after the break.
It's really incredible how well it works in real time, and you can imagine this tech being used everywhere from hair salons to clothing stores to online gaming[via Gizmodo]
We have seen the future of interactive games, and it's mixed reality. Developed by a German company, this technology can be used in a variety of applications -- including presentations, games, architecture and landscape planning .

Hitachi recently demonstrated its new portable-sized 3D display at IFA 2007, and Jesus Diaz managed to snag some footage. Video after the jump. Here's how it works, according to Gizmodo user "YSIROTIN":
These displays mainly target medical imaging and CAD user bases. They typically work by having a set of stobed projection screens onto which a fast (like DLP) projector synchs differen layers. When the screen in front is opaque, it gets the top Z-layer and when the screen in back is opaque, it gets the bottom Z-layer projected onto it[via Gizmodo]
