For the last few
weeks I have been taking the new NEO3DO glasses-free (meaning you can see stereo 3D without 3D glasses) tablet on an
educator’s test drive, critically kicking its tires and examining its potential
for K-12 and university classrooms. NEO3DO
is an “autostereoscopic” android-based tablet developed by a team of San Diego
innovators.
I have known for some
time about this new product. I was intrigued by its promise, but too invested
in doubt to take any action at first. But then, driven by pure “technology
director” instinct, followed by cat-like curiosity after viewing scenes from
this video,
and after having solicited feedback from dear friends on the West Coast who had
actually played with these devices, I took the plunge. My impatience got the
best of me, so I seized the opportunity to play with one,
once offered the chance.
So how did the NEO3DO
fare in my rigorous test drive? Stay tuned for next week’s remarkable post…
