Excellent read on how the iPad 2 can utilize the front facing camera to simulate 3D without 3D glasses. Be sure to check out the video!

iPad 2 gets glasses-free 3D display using front-facing camera for head tracking
Enjoy :)
it looks cool.
Could be nice with a demo app, atleast in Cydia so you could show to friends and family
interesting...
Sounds like this is only in development. Wonder when it will be available and when I would be able to watch Avatar on my iPad in 3D! Now that is what I want!!!!!!!!!
You know what the real trick would be? Engaging he front and rear cameos for augmented reality games. It's to bad there isn't a secondary IR camera like in the Kinect to pull some depth/distance tracking.
I did notice that all of the examples were of stationary objects. I'm not sure if 'motion' can be obtained.Quote:

Obviously we won't see Infinty Blade or Real Racer level graphics but something simpler like the tech demo games on the 3DS would do just fine.
