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.)

    I have no idea how it works I’m not sure if Lenovo have released that information.

    It was at CEX but all the footage of it is mostly of people going “it’s really interesting but it doesn’t show up on camera”. So is anyone’s guess how good this will be.

    I’m inclined to feel like it’s a gimmick though. Does anyone want 3D displays?
