Big news from Panasonic, Samsung and Sony: they’re teaming-up to put a stop to this silly trend of being forced into buying expensive 3D glasses that only work with one manufacturer’s 3DTV, and will use Xpand’s glasses from next year.
Those lucky enough to attend the Sydney premiere of the final Harry Potter movie (like the girls at PopSugar) were treated to an unexpected little trinket: these fun 3D Harry Potter glasses. And this got me thinking…what movies with iconic glasses would be fun to re-watch again in the cinema? Robocop? Star Trek? Top Gun?
The notion of having to buy special (expensive) glasses to able to watch the TV you just shelled out for a terrible idea that should die, and it looks like Samsung (sort of) agrees.
Panasonic wants 3D eyewear and displays to be compatible regardless of what product brands you choose. Their newly conceived standard for active-shutter eyewear, M-3DI, is their plan to make that happen.
The same association that puts on the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas each year has called for manufacturers to get their acts together and support a new standards process for 3D active shutter glasses.
Microsoft gave a sneak preview of its latest Natural User Interface (NUI) research recently at their Seattle offices, giving lucky observers a good look at just how far 3D Avatar capture and model rendering has progressed in the last few years.
