WOWvx

WOWvx is a type of monitor screen and software tools manufactured by Philips which offers 3D images without glasses for several viewers at a time. Philips sells professional 3D displays for the advertising, entertainment and 3D visualization markets. WOWvx uses the 3D format called 2D-plus-depth that has a greyscale depth map next to each 2D frame. Philips initiated a WOWvx community website. For content designers there is a professional plug-in available for 3ds Max.

Philips indicated it would introduce 3DTV for consumers within a few years' time, but didn't give a specific date.

Philips discontinued the sales and production of the 42-inch 3D display (model 42-3D6W02) in March 2009.
