We're already in the second generation of in-home 3D, but you're forgiven if you feel nervous about making the plunge just yet.

Instead, they'll be based around an autostereoscopic 3D display developed by Sharp itself, which means that you'll be able to 3D content without the need for pesky 3D glasses. After all, who would want to wear 3D glasses just to use their smartphone?
