Philips has unveiled another autostereoscopic 3D TV that is 4-inches larger than its previous version, a 56-inch set that can display Quad HD resolution 3D images without requiring viewers to wear special glasses. Based on the company's 3D WoW technology -- revealed last year in a 20-inch unit geared for point-of-sale locations -- the TV relies on the same eye tricks employed in previous incarnations of 3D, using advances in display technology to allow the sets to stitch together several different images and present them at different angles to the observer. Said to offer up to 46 views at once, the business-oriented unit is expected to cost $25,000 when it is released. Of course, the foundational elements for this system, ranging from Philips' WOWvx BlueBox 3D development rig to the ultra-fast fiber optic networks required to stream enough data for 3D images, are still in their infancy.
