Lenovo is testing glasses-free computers with a ring controller.

Lenovo’s new ThinkBook 3D Laptop Concept and Hybrid Dimensional 34-inch Curved Monitor Concept, announced at Mobile World Congress 2025, use directional backlighting and head tracking to simultaneously show 2D and 3D content without glasses. An accompanying AI Ring concept can be worn to control them with gesture-based spatial controls. It sounds like Leia’s tech, but Lenovo reps would not confirm during my short demo. Maybe 3D is coming back? (I doubt it.)

      Man, yeah. Mario 3D World, the Sega M2 3D conversions of retro games…

      I don’t think the native PC software support would be there for something like this, but at least having a viable way to properly emulate the 3DS without having to rig something with a VR headset would be great.
