Is this true? That the TV needs some sort of head/eye tracking to determine the proper position where to send the rays?

If so, you are right - glassless 3-D on big screen TVs will take at least 10 years.

And if so, I think I am going to make the investment and buy a 3-D tv within a year.

Actually the head tracking is not the tricky part, or can be solved in the near future. I expect cameras and tracking software to be integrated in TVs for many reasons.

But splitting images between many different moving observation directions, each with two eyes, all the while mantaining a good enough resolution and sharpness... that's hard. Today you can see the lowered image quality in both parallax occlusion and lenticular approaches, and that's with just one fixed viewing position.

It will take a while before 4 or 5 friends can watch a 3D BluRay at home with no glasses.
