Good portable monitors improve your computing experience by providing more screen real estate. But two 4K portable monitors announced today, Acer's SpatialLabs View and SpatialLabs View Pro , have a trick up their sleeves: making content look like it's coming out of the screen. Using Acer's proprietary hardware-software solution, SpatialLabs, the monitors can convert 2D content, like supported games, photos, and CAD designs, into stereoscopic 3D. Certified by Adobe and Autodesk, SpatialLabs uses a specialized optical lens, two eye-tracking cameras, and AI to make 2D work look 3D without pesky glasses or other clunky headgear. SpatialLabs works by creating a set of images for each eye and projecting them through the optical lens to where you're looking.

The stereoscopic 3D environment doesn't require time-consuming rendering, so it can provide a helpful and … [Read more...] about Acer’s new portable monitors can make 2D look like 3D
