Sharp's Autostereo 3D Notebook Computer
The Actius AL3DU represents a significant step up in power and style for Sharp's 3D notebook line. Powered by Intel's brand new Pentium® M P750 Processor, the new NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 graphics processor with 128 MB Video RAM, and 1024 MB of DDR2 SDRAM, upgradeable to 2 GB, the powerful Actius AL3DU is geared for high-end mobile performance. The AL3DU is targeted to those users who want a high-end laptop with superior 3D graphics performance and comes complete with gigabit Ethernet for high-speed LAN data transfer. The DVD Super Multidrive allows dual layer DVD and CD authoring, allowing more data per disk.
The AL3DU is offered with Microsoft Windows XP Pro and a number of utilities. Specially for 3D users, the AL3DU comes with a TriDef® 3D Demo environment (from DDD, Santa Monica) allowing viewing of 3D movie trailers, ability to view DVD movies in 3D (by real-time 2D to 3D conversion) and other 3D utilities. Also included is a trial version of the Amira 3D Visualization program allowing scientists, medical professionals and physicists 3D manipulation of data from various modeling sources.
The Sharp Actius AL3DU notebook comes equipped with a 15-inch XGA (1024 x 768) TFT 3D LCD display panel that can be switched between 2D and 3D display modes with the touch of a button, making the notebook flexible for use in standard 2D applications such as word processing and e-mail as well as giving extra visualization power for 3D professional applications such as molecular modeling, CAD and medical imaging plus a new way of enjoying games.
The Sharp Actius RD3D is the world's first autostereo 3D notebook. Sharp Corporation's TFT 3D LCD technology makes it possible to view eye-popping 3D images without special glasses.
The touch of a button switches the display back to 2D viewing for standard applications such as spreadsheets, photo editing or email.
In addition to a software bundle designed to take advantage of the notebook's 3D capability, the Actius RD3D will include three of the hottest gaming titles available from Electronic Arts, Inc.
