Acer had earlier this year announced its SpatialLabs tech that enables 3D visuals without the need for any glasses, made possible by a special stereo camera with two sensors that track your eyes and head combined with a lens on the display that refracts two slightly different images in accordance to the position of your eyes. The tech is finally making its way to a laptop that you can actually purchase.
The Acer ConceptD 7 SpatialLabs Edition laptop was just announced and it comes with 3D SpatialLabs tech built-in. Its display will allow users to see 3D projects for CAD designs, 3D printing, architecture, animations, and more, thus making designing a more true-to-life and immersive experience than ever before.
Knowing very well that a 3D display is nothing without 3D content, Acer is shipping the laptop with tools like the SpatialLabs Model Viewer that allows one to import 3D files from apps like Rhinoceros, ZBrush, and Autodesk Fusion 360. The company also stated that it’s working with developers to bring more integrated solutions for the future, although without widespread adoption of the 3D SpatialLabs tech, the success is likely to be limited.
A SpatialLabs Go app is also being offered that will allow the conversion of 2D content like images, videos, simple games, and webcam feed into stereoscopic 3D using AI.
Apart from all of the 3D, the Acer ConceptD 7 SpatialLabs Edition is a top-tier laptop with up to Intel Core i7-11800H processor, Nvidia RTX 3080, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. The display is a 15.6-inch LCD panel that offers 3840 x 2160 resolution in 2D mode or 1920 x 2160 in 3D mode.
As for the pricing, well, it isn’t cheap at all considering the top-level specifications. The ConceptD 7 SpatialLabs Edition will cost €3,599 (~$4,160) when it launches in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in December. A North American launch should follow.
16-inch ConceptD 3 and ConceptD 3 Pro laptops have also been launched with updated 16:10 aspect ratios, and will be arriving to the US with price tags of $1,699.99 and $1,899.99 respectively. These are paired with the ConceptD 3 Ezel that will be made available in November starting at $1,899.99 and the ConceptD 3 Ezel Pro that’s set to hit the US in 2022 starting at $1,999.99.
