Samsung's next innovation: a 3D OLED TV Integrating the 3D screen technology on a more conventional display wouldn't be easy, but if any manufacturer could make it happen it would be Samsung.

Using Acer's proprietary hardware-software solution, SpatialLabs, the monitors can convert 2D content, like supported games, photos, and CAD designs, into stereoscopic 3D.

But for those who make that programming, the biggest challenge of all may be simultaneously producing 2D versions of the same shows. In order to film in 3D, two normal cameras are placed side by side.

While some models, such as Toshiba’s Cell TV, promise 2D to 3D upscaling, which converts traditional images into three-dimensional ones, that technology is expected to cost a pretty penny.

3D TV may be a flop in many ways, but there's no doubt it's here to stay as a feature on many higher-end TVs. If you're curious about 3D, here's the place to find out more.

Jump over to the Kickstarter crowdfunding website to make a pledge from $169 to be one of the very first to receive the Edison 3D console and start enjoying HD 3D video from your 2D TV.
