Samsung has introduced a groundbreaking monitor currently in development, tentatively named the Samsung 2D/3D Gaming Monitor, featuring a glasses-free 3D mode and the capability to play VR games without the need for a headset. Although still in the development phase, Samsung showcased this cutting-edge technology at its First Look event preceding CES in Las Vegas. Equipped with dual cameras for eye and head tracking, the 3D mode leverages these features to optimize three-dimensional effects and enhance various content. The monitor also boasts a dedicated user interface for immersive 3D browsing.
In addition to its advanced 3D capabilities, the monitor incorporates eye-tracking technology that extends to playing VR games without a dedicated headset. Samsung asserts compatibility with existing VR games and experiences, including support for Steam VR. The company is actively pursuing partnerships with undisclosed "notable gaming publishers" for 3D gaming content. While the monitor, expected to provide more details later in 2024, offers promising features, its pricing and market positioning against conventional VR headsets are yet to be determined.
