"Glasses-free" 3D-TV at home the way we think about it/want it to be, will NEVER happen, as it's mostly a physical impossibility, rather than a technological one. SIMILAR things with lots of restrictions are possible, but a "TV" that performs just about exactly how our current (well, now discontinued) 3D TV's but without glasses, compatible with current un-altered 3D films, it's not possible to be made. Ever. At any cost. Not without both, cost AND restrictions.

We can debate this to death, but let's just save some time and agree to meet here again in 10 years and then continue the argument. Surely, if it's possible, Apple or Intel or Microsoft or Samsung or Sony or Panasonic or LG or Canon or some chinese company will do it and grab the market by then, right? They'll make billions$$$$. It's only been some 75 years trying to make one. So let's just wait another 10.

Are you a fortune teller?

You have too much certainties that manufacturers aren't near of what has already been achieved.

If there is a future to it after release is another story. 3D has to be main focus to thrive instead of 2D most tv workstations do to make 3D a thing in the present and future.
