A new product called Pic3D, from Japanese company Global Wave, aims to bring 3D viewing to any TV or mobile device.

Pic3D is a thin sheet of transparent film made with the same lenticular lens system used in some 3D television screens; the sheet is fitted over an existing mobile phone or television to provide a glasses-free 3D experience when video is played through the Pic3D media player application (side-by-side 3D video format only).

The app is compatible with both Windows and iOS, and while Global Wave claims the system works with any PC or smartphone, in reality it only works for devices with specific screen sizes. Pic3D will first be introduced for devices and televisions with 12.1”, 15.6”, 21.5” and 23” screens, plus those for iPad2, iPhone and iPod. Pricing starts around $25 for the iPhone version, and runs to about $186 for the 23″ sheet. The products will go on sale next month at the company’s (Japanese language only) website ^[1].
