Intel and Tencent Games have joined forces to introduce the "world's first" glasses-free 3D gaming handheld. Called Sunday Dragon 3D One, it features the Lunar Lake Core Ultra 7 258V and an 11-inch display with a real-time eye-tracking sensor. Update: The company's claims seem misleading, which has been addressed with an edit to the original article.

In collaboration with Intel, Tencent Games has introduced the Sunday Dragon 3D One. The company claims it to be the "world's first" glasses-free gaming handheld. It's reportedly an experimental product, and through it, the brand wants to explore the potential of "naked-eye 3D" technology in gaming products.

Under the hood, the Sunday Dragon 3D One features the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, a top-end APU from the Lunar Lake lineup, which the MSI Claw 8 AI+ will feature as well. It's paired with 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB storage, and like the Lenovo Legion Go (curr. $499 on Amazon), it has detachable controllers.

But what truly sets this Tencent Games gaming handheld apart is the screen. As described by the company, the Sunday Dragon 3D One has an 11-inch display with a real-time eye-tracking sensor. Paired with an "image interlacing algorithm," this 120 Hz panel can offer "naked-eye 3D visual effects."

Tencent says that it has already optimized a couple of PC games for this 3D tech, including Path of Exile, Blade & Soul, and Arena Breakout: Infinite. It's unclear whether other games will be able to offer a proper glasses-free 3D experience without needing support from the developers.

Of course, while Tencent is claiming it to be the "world's first" glasses-free 3D gaming handheld, it's not. Nintendo was the first to do it with its 3DS, and Sunday Dragon 3D One isn't the only recently released product with such a display either. Nubia, for example, has the Pad 3D lineup, which also sports a similar type of setup. At the launch of the second-gen tablet, Nubia said that there's an AI-based neural network algorithm that can convert any 2D content to 3D. It's possible that Tencent Games already has something similar in its new gaming handheld.
