Lenovo is testing glasses-free 2D / 3D computers with a ring controller.
www.theverge.comLenovo’s new ThinkBook 3D Laptop Concept and Hybrid Dimensional 34-inch Curved Monitor, announced at MWC 2025, use directional backlighting and head tracking to simultaneously show 2D and 3D content without glasses. And an accompanying AI Ring concept can be worn to control them with gesture-based spatial controls.
It sounds like Leia’s tech, but in my short demo Lenovo reps would not confirm.
Maybe 3D is coming back? (I doubt it.)

They had this at CES. But the online footage doesn’t really capture it very well so I have no idea how good the product is.
If it’s pulled off where I suppose it could be useful but it just sort of seems gimmicky to me. Remember 3D TVs, remember how there was absolutely no content for them and no one bought them. Yeah.
