The “multi view” concept isn’t new, even if it still lacks a quick-and-easy description. In essence, it’s two videos signals stacked on one another — using special polarizing glasses not entirely unlike 3D specs to “isolate” a (two-dimensional) signal and thereby allowing two or more people to watch different videos on the same TV. LG has it with Dual Play and Sony with PlayStation 3D Display.

LG has it with Dual Play and Sony with PlayStation 3D Display. Samsung’s demonstration at its IFA 2012 booth didn’t play up the multiplayer gaming aspect like the last aforementioned predecessors, but it did showcase the technology on gorgeous 55-inch OLED TVs. The special, very light headsets let you jump between the two videos with a push of a button — remarkably with no bleeding between the two signals — while built-in headphones jump audio tracks accordingly.
