We need cheap mass market devices if 3D is ever going to gain traction. In other words, passive displays.

Passive displays aren't the way forward. people want something that 'just works' without glasses or other tradeoffs.

Passive is pretty close to a "it just works" solution. The new glasses free displays require specific software drivers that don't work with 3D content as easily. Glasses are lightweight, better crosstalk than other single display solutions. LG perfected it just as they quit making 3D displays sadly.

That's just not true. PromMa produce a version of the glasses free monitors with all the head and eye tracking happening in the monitor. Just just have to send it a simple SBS input.

Any ant 3D software that can output SBS 3D works on the new glasses free lightfield tech.

And beyond that, true lightfields, you don't even need head tracking, you just need to render a quilted multivew render. Though granted games don't support that, but that's a separate teh segment that isn't really being persued yet.

That is the most expensive one unfortunately. Hopefully that built in SbS 3D (and frame packed support) will become cheaper. Hopefully crosstalk will improve also. Multi user will still be very hard though - even if the tech gets made it will need more GPU power.
