LG’s Dual Play capability allows two player split screen gaming without the split screen. We’ve seen this kind of thing before with Sony’s Playstation TV, but not on this scale. More »
The reason I’m not sold on 3D? Those nasty glasses. Luckily, Microsoft is ditching the glasses, choosing instead to create 3D by beaming different images into each eye. More »
If 3D is supposed to be the future of home entertainment, and this is the best Blu-ray has to offer, I think I’ll stick with 2D… More »
The gadget: Wazabee 3DeeShell, a screen filter that turns your iPhone screen into a 3D photo viewer.
3D Cinema is nothing new – It’s been around in various shapes and forms since the late 1800s with stereoscopes and multiple projectors – but 2009 is the year that we’ll really start to see films being released in 3D on a large scale, rather than just special feature events down at IMAX.
But is it the revolution that cinema seems to so desperately need, or just a not-so-cheap gimmick that is more about raising revenue and lessening piracy for the internet age? More »
Apparently, next year’s going to be the year of 3D entertainment. And even though there are heaps of different technologies out there to let you see images in 3D, there seems to be a bit of a lack of consumer cameras to let you take 3D images yourself. Fortunately, Fujifilm has announced their new FinePix Real 3D consumer camera at the recent 3DX expo in Singapore.
The stereoscopic camera features two optical lenses, each with its own CCD, and a processor that syncs the two images to create a 3D image. On top of that, the screen on the camera is capable of showing 3D images without the stupid glasses, while a 3D printing solution will also be offered that allows you to view printed images in 3D from multiple angles.
And if the idea of still 3D images des nothing for you, the FinePix Real 3D also lets you record 3D video. Of course, there’s no word on pricing or when it will be released yet, but we’ll keep you posted when we hear more from Fujifilm.
