Burton is showing their Aerial True 3D volumetric display at CES 2012. This display (unveiled on November 2011) uses lasers to create a volumetric display and is based on technology developed in 2006 by AIST and Keio University. The idea is to use lasers to produce plasma excitation from oxygen an nitrogen atoms in the air:

Sony is showing a new 46" glasses-free 3D TVs. The panel is an LCD panel, here's a video showing the display in action:

Microsoft research has unveiled Vermeer, a novel "interactive 360° viewable display" suitable for a tabletop form factor. Vermeer provides viewpoint corrected auto-stereoscopic 3D graphics to simultaneous users 360° around the display:

Burton is showing a new system that uses lasers to create a volumetric display, based on technology developed in 2006 by AIST and Keio University. The idea is to use lasers to produce plasma excitation from oxygen an nitrogen atoms in the air.

The prototype system on show is monochromatic and can handle about 50,000 "pixels" (or voxels) per second, or 10-15 frames per second. Burton is already working on the next generation which will add red and blue lasers to get color images, and will also reach 24-30 fps.

Researchers from Japan's Tsukuba University developed a new glasses-free 3D display that uses several layers and lenses to create depth perception:

The resolution of the current prototype is 200x200.

Researchers from Ochanomizu Women’s University developed a new way to turn a 2D display (using the iPad as an example) to a 3D one - using a rotating cylindrical mirror (they call the technology Anamorphicons - a portmanteau of anamorphosis and icon). This gives a 360-degrees view of an object shown on the iPad display. The cylinder includes touch 'inputs' on the bottom (to mimic finger input) and an aluminum cap for easy control:

Researchers from Japan's Keio Univeristy developed a glasses-free 3D display that also lets you 'touch' the virtual 3D image - by including a tactile interface. Here's a video showing the new system:
