A Dutch company has created a fully functioning Macbook Pro Retina with a glasses-free display. The system uses an attached lens on top of the screen that you don't notice in regular use.
The company is Dimenco, and lens is the same sort of lenticular technology used in the Nintendo 3DS. The permanently attached film is less than 3mm thick so you won't notice it. This means that you don't need any silly 3D glasses or special eyewear to see in 3D!
The MacBook Pro Retina 3D also uses face tracking. The FaceTime camera tracks the movement of the user's head and corresponds the 3D image to the position of the viewer. This means the 3D experience will be smooth and seamless, but not viewable by more than one person at a time. No big deal if its your personal laptop, though.
You can also use the Macbook in normal 2D. Just push a button and shazam!
Of course, this has not been released for consumer purchase (yet...). Check out Dimenco's Facebook and website for updates on the project.
