IZON is a game-changing (no 3D glasses required) technology company with a simple mission: to make 3D technology easy, affordable and accessible for people everywhere.
From stage to screen, black-and-white to color and now 2D to 3D, pioneers throughout history have continually pushed the boundaries of how we share and enjoy stories. IZON represents the next step in that storytelling evolution: simple, streamlined, and completely free from glasses, a visual technology that provides a truly immersive entertainment experience.
There’s no denying that 3D technology is the next frontier of entertainment technology. Just ask Oculus, the 3D virtual reality gaming company that was recently acquired by Facebook for a hefty $2 billion.But like so many new technologies before it, the early attempts have been far from perfect, relying on expensive, unwieldy hardware and, of course, those awkward, cumbersome 3D glasses that not only inhibit the viewing experience, but cause eyestrain and headaches in the process.
IZON’s groundbreaking technology takes 3D glasses out of viewing equation and makes 3D a viable option for the everyday consumer for the very first time.
IZON is bringing 3D entertainment out of the movie theater and into your living room with our state-of-the-art 3D television that puts you right in the middle of the viewing experience — without trapping you behind a pair of annoying 3D glasses.

IZON’s Technology can be applied to Movies, TV shows, sports events, video games, and commercial advertising — if it shows up on a screen, IZON can transform it into an immersive 3D glasses free experience. Best of all, not only does this technology offer many licensing opportunities, but the simplicity of the technology can be applied to manufacture 3D consumer TVs at a friendly price.
And TVs are just the tip of the iceberg: IZON’s technology can be applied to any screened device, including smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, slot machines and even digital posters and billboards. The possibilities of IZON’s technology are limitless, and the IZON team is committed to exploring new applications and opportunities as we move forward.
The prototypes of our 3D TV line are complete, and we are in the process of finalizing the product for production, with the goal of going to market with our first consumer-facing products in Q3 of 2014. Promising developments leading up to that lauch include:
