MDT Launches Glasses-Free 3D Displays and 3D Photo Printers at BicCamera Ikebukuro IT Tower Store

Magic Display Technology Inc. (headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Taichi Horibe; hereinafter MDT) announced that it began full-scale operation of its glasses-free 3D displays and 3D photo printers at the major electronics retailer BicCamera Ikebukuro IT Tower store in April 2026. Following the strong response to the advance installation at AEON Cinema in January 2026, the consecutive rollout at BicCamera marks rapid expansion in the social implementation of MDT’s 3DaaS (3D as a Service), an initiative to turn visual experiences into infrastructure across the retail and entertainment industries. The new commercial building IT tower TOKYO opened on March 14, 2026, at Ikebukuro Station’s west exit, on the former Ikebukuro Marui site. BicCamera occupies the second through fourth floors. Background: Turning Data Sleeping in Smartphones into Emotional Experiences With the spread of smartphones, photos have largely become data consumed on screens. MDT developed and introduced this service to revive photos stored deep inside smartphones not merely as records, but as lifelong memories transformed into physical art. By combining MDT’s proprietary AI algorithms, 3D printing technology, and LED lighting, the company offers next-generation memorial products that people will want to display in their rooms. Service Flow: The Magic Created by the Printer and Frame The service elevates flat photos into glowing three-dimensional art through three steps. In-store, users can send photos from their smartphones, have them instantly converted into 3D, and check the result as the image appears three-dimensionally on a glasses-free 3D display in front of them. 1. Worldview Transformation Using Proprietary AI Filters MDT’s proprietary AI instantly analyzes and processes ordinary 2D photos from customers’ smartphones. It can convert images into various versions, from practical filters such as skin brightening and retouching to entertainment-focused options such as a time-slip experience to the age of dinosaurs or a powerful samurai experience. The system then generates multilayer data (9grid) for 3D conversion. 2. Output Using a High-Definition 3D Photo Printer The multilayer data generated by AI is precisely printed by MDT’s proprietary eight-color UV printer, completing the print in just under five minutes. This produces a dedicated 3D film with striking depth and dimensionality even when viewed with the naked eye. 3. Bringing Light and Life with an LED 3D Photo Frame The printed 3D film is placed into a dedicated LED frame with a backlight. Uniform lighting from behind maximizes the 3D effect, creating glowing three-dimensional art that appears vivid even in a dark room. On-Site Response: An Eye-Catching Installation at the Third-Floor Elevator Hall The installation is positioned directly in front of BicCamera’s third-floor elevator hall, the floor entrance within the store’s second-to-fourth-floor sales area. The moment visitors step off the escalator or elevator, dozens of illuminated LED 3D photo frames enter their field of vision. Many customers stop in surprise to look closely, creating what can be described as an eye-stealing phenomenon. Main Visual Updated to a Large 75×75 Messi Display The extra-large 3D photo frame displayed as the sales floor’s symbol has been updated from Marilyn Monroe (60×60 size), shown until the end of April, to a more dynamic and powerful Messi image (75×75 size) ahead of the full-scale rollout this autumn. As a new main visual that directly conveys the excitement and motion of sports in 3D, it is attracting even greater customer interest. Future Plans MDT plans to expand this new form of retailtainment, combining AI processing, 3D printers, and LED frames, to electronics retailers, commercial facilities, tourist destinations, theme parks, and other locations across Japan.
