Sharp Triple View

23 comments

A reader sent me this photo almost two months ago. It's improved version of Sharp Dual-view TV. Even earlier, about year ago I posted the original illusion, not knowing it was not an illusion at all! It's some new hi-tech gadget you can actually buy. Boy, we had some debate back then. Just to make it clean, this photo below isn't illusion as well, but pictures TV set that shows three programs at the same time. It just depends from which angle you are starring at it. Neat idea, enabling your wife to watch Oprah, while there's some wrestling or SuperBowl game you can't miss. The only problem would be that you can't sit very close to each other while viewing it... sometimes though, little privacy can be good. As I finish writing this I realize it could maybe be a monitor, picture screen, and not TV at all. Help me decide by commenting.

    These are not mirrors but only wooden frames. Seeing the two black dots on the base of the left frame, may seem reflection but the overall thickness of the wooden frame there is same as on the opposite side of the same frame. There are actually three picture frames, with three different pictures, the two corner ones being kept behind two blank wooden frames.

    It's no illusion at all. If you don't know the product you might think those were two empty frames with two additional TFTs. It's not!

    This is a small dual or even triple view TFT from Acer I think. It will be used in cars e.g. (the drivers can see navigation infos, the co-driver can watch a movie), it will be used in banks for showing public and internal information.

    What you see on this display depends from the angle you look at this display.

    neat!!

    this is not what the paragraph claims. Look at the edge of the picture frame in the "mirror". The white space goes all the down to where the table really is. Those are not mirrors, but empty picture frames.

    Those are not reflections, but other pictures on the table.

    I've seen this in person it's really cool (monitor by the way) cool, but you have to sit perfectly still while looking at it or go blind from the three images crossing, the angles are essential so eventualy this will be an awesome piece of tech. but right now it's still just an idea. :)

    Actually I believe its meant more for in car use, so the driver can see the GPS screen whilst the passenger can watch something else and the kids in back get the straight on view of some third program. Hope that helps.

    It is rather obvious how it was done, the angle of the mirrors give away the fact that they are reflecting something other than the dog picture

    Mmm..., makes me remember those lovely wavy plastic stickers, that refracted separate images to different directions as you rotated them. I guess it's the XXI century version of the old good stickers, sticked to a multi-columned multi-image screen.
    Countdown for 3D tv is reaching the end?

    Judging by what's shown (2 still-looking photos and a map) I'd guess it's a monitor... but then again it's a rather small looking screen to hook up to a PC. Perhaps a media addon? I suppose it'd have it's uses...

    looks to me like it's an LCD pictureframe type device.
    I bet it works on 802.11 or bluetooth to stream like it's a media center extender or location free player.

    Too much nerdspeak or does anybody get my drift here?

    I do not get how that could possibly work.

    Okay, you can see two programs at once, but how do you hear them? XD

    woot first post

    That looks more like a monitor than a tv though.Dont think its real though. I reckon its just monitors behind frames.

    Everyone is right!!! It is an actual product that is being developed right now. Go search youtube and you can see one in action.

    I have a feeling this was created in an image editing program to convey what the product does. I agree with the comment that the white space leading down to the table would not match the actual horizontal line of the table if these were truly mirrors. The manufacturer is just showing the possibility this product has to offer.
