Are you tired of having watch your new 3D photos and videos on a tiny camera screen? The revolutionary Aiptek 8" Portable Display solves the problem by bringing a whole new vision into reality...it allows you to view 3D still and video images in beautiful color with background music. You can really have fun showing off your digital images on its 8" (20.3cm) Parallax LCD screen. This technology allows you to enjoy your photos, slide shows and videos in 3D depth without the need for special polarized glasses.

Using up to 32GB of SDHC memory, you can enjoy viewing tens of thousands of 3D images or hours of video without having to plug it in due to its built-in Li-Polymer rechargeable battery. The display comes with a remote control unit so you can operate it from afar.

Parallax Barrier Technology
Parallax Barrier displays work by displaying two separate images super-imposed on top of one another. A barrier is placed atop the LCD screen that blocks certain pixels from reaching each eye. The result is a completely separate image being sent to each of the viewer's left and right eyes. Much like your everyday vision, your brain receives two separate fields of view, one from your right eye and one from your left. By calculating the differences between the angles of inclination received from the two images, the brain calculates and perceives depth perception. By simultaneously recording a right and left video channel and then utilizing a Parallax Barrier display to send the respective video feeds to each eye separately, we emulate what the brain perceives naturally and one can view videos with 3D depth.
3D Without the Glasses
The Parallax Barrier technology allows you to view 3D depth without the need for polarized glasses! Aiptek puts the polarized glasses into the screen, instead of atop your nose.
8" (20.3cm) Viewing Area
With a full 8" (20.3cm) viewable area, the Portable 3D Display is perfect for any application. Show off your 3D creations to friends and family or review footage to make sure you've captured the perfect shot.
3D and 2D Videos and Pictures
Switch between 2D and 3D modes so that you can view your existing photos, slideshows and videos or newly created 3D ones.
Free Yourself
Thanks to its built-in rechargeable Li-Polymer battery, you can take your 3D display with you everywhere. Or, you can place your display in the perfect location and have it run for hours without having to plug it in.
32GB SDHC Port
You can store and playback your 3D videos and pictures with an SDHC memory card (up to 32GB). Enjoy hours of 3D video or tens of thousands of 3D images.

Comments about Aiptek 8" Portable 3D Photo & Video Display:

So I've seen this frame get some bad reviews online, but I get a feeling people forget the price they paid for the item, which is pretty affordable for what this little screen does.

Sure it does not deliver the most perfect of 3D images; parallax barrier is in its beginnings and with larger screens it's a little hard to get the 3D illusion without any "ghosting" (image doubling)... but you can get this down to only 5% ghosting just by placing yourself in a good viewing angle.

It's a great little tool to have with you on the road if you film your own 3D content: In fact it works very well with the Apitek i2 3D camcorder... just shove a MicroSD with content shot on the i2 into the 3D picture frame and voila! Right away you're checking out your 3D content.

Perfect? No. Useful and cool? Indeed.

    If you have an Aiptek camera then this is the product for you. You can display your photo and videos from the camera. You must be in just the right place to see the image but if you are it looks and sounds great.

    If like me you have photos and videos that were not shot with an Aiptek camera it comes with a disk that allows you to convert those video into something this Photo frame can handle. It so far seems to work great. I am happy with mine!

    3D portable Display Hit or Miss?

      Comments about Aiptek 8" Portable 3D Photo & Video Display:

      Unfortunately an almost hit is still a miss and this display doesn't quite make the hit list. For starters the display resolution is too low to make a adequate 3D display and the built-in 3D conversion becomes annoying quickly because it not only doesn't work well, it can't be turned off either. Even if I didn't use the 3D feature I think it would make a great 2D display if you could turn the 3D function off. As it is I would not recommend this display to anyone. It just isn't quite there yet.

        This is a great product. It really makes your 3D
        photos come to life. The video display is clear.
        As stated you do not need to wear the 3D glasees
        that came with the camera.I am very pleased that
        I purchased this item.

            It's an unimpressive 3D hack, really. Returning it today.
            I'm sure there are better 3D products out there.

            Comments about Aiptek 8" Portable 3D Photo & Video Display:

            Converted some 3D pictures I took some years ago. And came out great. On the video side, I had to upgrade firmware, as no 3D movie worked out of the box. I converted one of my favorite movies in 3D (legend of guardians) and the result was just amazing. Some object even came out of the frame (if close enough). The only problem resides in the fact that you have to be right in front of it and you must not move, otherwise you lose the effect. Cheaper than a 3D TV and no glasses required.
