ASUS wants to bring back 3D and its new 2023 Zenbook Pro range is doing just that. At CES this week, the company announced a robust lineup of new devices which include the best internal hardware you can get while coupling it with some new enhanced displays. Some of these new displays feature glasses-free 3D OLED technology and some pack the award-winning OLED panels you have come to expect from the brand.
Before we get into the lineup, we need to explain this 3D OLED technology ASUS is calling Spatial Vision. ASUS says this new tech allows users to experience immersive 3D without any wearables at all. If you remember Nintendo’s 3DS display, this ASUS tech sounds very similar. It is done by using a lenticular lens and advanced eye-tracking camera technology, enabling the display to weave distinct images for each eye, resulting in an autostereoscopic 3D image.

Users can also switch effortlessly between 2D and 3D. This new technology can totally change creator workflows, as users will be able to see the details of 3D objects and effects directly on the screen without needing to review physical prototypes, saving time and money while making their workflow more efficient.
Here’s a full breakdown of the ASUS 2023 productivity range:
ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED (H7604 / K6604)
With its groundbreaking new glasses-free 3.2K 120 Hz 3D OLED display, content creators and gamers can view 3D photos, videos, or even games ― without cumbersome glasses or headsets. Creating 3D visual content is made faster and more intuitive, and ASUS Spatial Vision technology allows 2D visual content to be seamlessly converted to immersive 3D in real-time with the flick of a switch. The super-bright OLED panel delivers stunning detail and vivid colours, featuring adaptive dimming technology to maximize display life.
