Try This At Home - DIY Tensor Displays: Gordon Wetzstein at TEDxBeaconStreet

How do you create 3D displays or correct for vision problems without using glasses? Learn how DIY experimentation with off-the-shelf displays can create the innovative screens of the future.

With rapid advances in optical fabrication, digital processing power, and computational models for human perception, a new generation of display technology is emerging: computational displays that facilitate unprecedented user experiences. These experiences not only include practical glasses-free 3D display but also glasses-free 2D display, where visual aberrations of the user are corrected by the display.

Gordon Wetzstein is a research scientist at MIT Media Lab working on next-generation camera and display system that could revolutionize consumer electronics.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
