When people think about 3D video screens they usually think about wearing cumbersome glasses. Your 3D screens are glasses-free. How do you accomplish this?

 It’s magic of course!

Just kidding, our Enabl3D™ technology works by adding a proprietary lens to the front of a flat panel display which essentially means the TV wears the glasses instead of the viewer.

There are some other workflow tricks of course on the software and content production side which we do internally or in partnership with agencies.

It’s important to note that after we add the lens all content is not instantly 3D (though that would be magic).  Instead, we take 2D or 3D content and repurpose it, or convert it into our glasses-free, very high fidelity 3D format that ensures everyone has a great experience, from the client to the customer.

The result is captivating 3D content that literally floats in front of and into the display.
