The SSE screen consists of three thin layers on top of a standard LCD screen: a rear-facing lenticular, an LCD shutter and a front-facing lenticular.
While enabling the multi-angle display of 3d images, SSE technology preserves the full native screen resolution of the primary LCD screen.
It requires no complicated holography equipment and takes up roughly the same space as a traditional screen.
In addition to showing images in 3d, the SSE optical scheme can be used for augmented reality applications, when real and virtual objects are shown on the same screen simultaneously.
This provides a new and impactful way to display modern video graphics content in 3d
with applications in entertainment, education, scientific modeling and simulators for training, transportation and industrial uses.

#AMD's new High Bandwidth Memory will power the graphics cards of the future Sitting down to talk graphics memory isn't usually anyone's idea of a good time
-and AMD just unveiled the memory technology it wants to power the GPUS of the future.
Seven years in the making, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) promises to provide huge improvements over the GDDR5 memory currently sitting inside AMD's top-end graphics cards
Graphics cards will soon be shrinking significantly thanks to HBM. A comparable 1gb graphics chip takes up just 6 percent of the surface area measured against GDDR5,
That could lead to top-end graphics cards half the size of today's, AMD says.
It means CPU and RAM performance can be increased without hitting a bottleneck on the GPU side of the equation."
"We needed a new memory that was far, far better from a power perspective,"said AMD's Joe Macri at a briefing with journalists."
battle between the two graphics giants will be renewed in earnest in the very near future-HBM is slated to appear in AMD's flagship graphics cards later this year.
