The Sharp Actius RD3D was a 3D laptop computer manufactured by the Sharp Corporation in 2004. The company marketed it as the first "autostereo" PC, "offering 3D images without glasses."

Features※

It had a built-in 3D graphics button that would create a 3D image by using "parallax barrier", which beamed two different images to each eye, confusing the "brain into thinking that the user was looking at a 3D image," all without the use of 3D glasses.

Problems※

Common problems with the Sharp Actius RD3D were:

• The 3D graphics could reportedly not be seen if the user slightly shifted position while looking at the computer.
• The computer's performance reportedly slowed when it was put into 3D mode.
• It was also very big (12 pounds), bulky, "and extremely expensive," selling for $2,999.
• The battery life was also inferior, reportedly lasting for a mere 2 hours.

The product was featured in the "25 Worst Tech Products of All Time" list published by PC World magazine in 2006.
