During a recent interview John Cassy the head of Sky3D and techradar John was asked..

And have you actually seen a glasses free 3D television that impresses you?
Cassy: I have, but it's under NDA so I can't talk about it! For my mind, high quality glasses-free TV at a price that the average house can afford is a matter of when and not if. It's going to happen, it's just a question of when and the technology we see - we have as much of this as we can - is definitely coming along. It's a bit of a way off but it's coming along.

What could he have seen? Hmm.. 
  • Stream TV's 4k glasses-free 3D TV   
  • Dimenco's 4k glasses-free 3D TV
  • NEO3DO glasses free 3D Android tablet
  • Some Dolby 3D Display?
