HP Adds 3D To New TouchSmart Desktop Display and Webcam

The gimmick technology refuses to die.

None

Reiterating their intention to keep their PC business going, HP has updated their TouchSmart all-in-one desktop series with the 620, the manufacturer’s first 3D iteration. Combining tablet functionality with 3D capabilities, the 23-inch display will also come equipped with a webcam that can capture stills and video in 3D, as well accompanying shutter glasses. Other specs for the full set include a Core i5 processor, 1.5TB HDD, and 8GB of RAM. Dropping November 15, it’s set to retail for $1,600.

For those unwilling to fully commit to HP product, the company will also be rolling out a 3D monitor, the 2311gt, in December for around $299. The 23-inch, 1080p model will rely on Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology, which creates 3D imaging by aligning alternating rows of pixels with the right of left eye.
