Advocates argue that 3D is totally the future, it just needs to be a bit more convenient and glasses-free—you’ll see! Unfortunately for these advocates, Toshiba’s latest numbers are not helping the cause, at least in the near-term. More »
Parallax has just released their NES controller socket to the delights of modders everywhere. Instead of forcing them to chop up an old NES to get the 7-pin socket, Parallax has made it available for only $US2 on their site. The NES controller would be great for all kinds of little projects, from robots to old-school gaming devices, and we’re really looking forward to seeing what inventive modders can do with the humble and much-loved controller.

Sharp has been showing off their glasses-less 3D Parallax technology for years, and now they’re partnering with VMJ to create the biggest commercial 3D display in the world. A 65-inch 1920×1080 LCD with 120-degree viewing angle, it’s priced at around US$30,000—meaning it’s more aimed at wooing the crowds in public spaces than your friends at your next Superbowl party. So until you have a 3D monitor to call your own, enjoy the thrill of viewing this 2D representation of the device. Sorry we can’t do better, but if it’s any consolation, we render all media in tactile holograms here at Giz HQ. [Impress]
