This AP review of the Sharp LL-151-3D, the $1,500 3-D LCD flat-panel monitor, mentions an interesting bit of software called ‘3-D DVD’ that converts 2D DVD movies (or anything, presumably) into the sort of faux-3D information flat panels like the Sharp can process. It makes a few educated guesses—and gets a lot of stuff wrong, they say—but it sounds like an interesting process. Even more interesting is the mention that DDD Group (the people who coded it) say they are working on putting the software in silicon, so that future 3D displays might just have a ‘3D-ify’ button for any 2D content.
