Released last year, Acer’s SpatialLabs technology is a glasses-free stereoscopic 3D solution. When it was introduced, the company was focused on designers and creators. Last week, Acer announced the Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition gaming laptop which brings glasses-free, stereoscopic 3D to over 50 games for gamers.

It’s the 15.60inch UHD 2D panel with a liquid crystal lenticular lens optically bonded to the surface allows gamers to switch back and forth between 2D and glasses-free stereoscopic 3D viewing.

By integrating our SpatialLabs technology with our Predator gaming laptops, we hope to create a new category ofimmersive gaming experiences.”
