MasterImage 3D is showing off its glasses-free technology at the 2012 Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona this week on a tablet manufactured by chip supplier Qualcomm.

Qualcomm's MDP Tablet 3D Edition -- which boasts a Snapdragon S4 processor -- will feature MasterImage 3D's latest glasses-free technology called Cell-Matrix Parallax Barrier Technology.

“We understand the demand for glasses-free 3D for the home is increasing dramatically,” said Raj Talluri, vice president of product management of Qualcomm. “The advanced multimedia features of Snapdragon processors allow MasterImage 3D's technology to come to life, showing OEMs, mobile operators and the content community that viable and compelling technology is available here and now.”

Available for next-generation 10.1 tablets, the technology, along with new premium 3D videos and games, will be on display by Qualcomm at the event. The 3D-version of the MDP tablet will run on Android 4.0.

Qualcomm will be demonstrating various 3D content on the tablet, including new 3D programming from 3net, a joint venture from Discovery, Sony, Imax 3D, as well as 3D animated comics.

The technology aims to provide brighter images, a wider viewing angle and a more even look.
