TVs Are Displaying Three Dimensions, Why Not Phones?

TVs Are Displaying Three Dimensions, Why Not Phones?

First the HDTVs, then the Nintendo 3DS, and now mobile phones? All of them are getting 3D! However, the mobile phone is the most interesting target — not only does it pose challenges with a smaller screen, but the fact that everyone has their cell phone with them throughout the day makes it a tricky medium to deal with. Sharp wants to dominate this. When we think of seeing three-dimensional media, we typically treat this experience as a one-off occasion — it is not something you’d imagine viewing all day long or several times throughout the day. However, that could change in the future. Sharp…

Google Streetview Goes 3D Because.. Erm... Look, It Just Did Okay?

Google Streetview Goes 3D Because.. Erm... Look, It Just Did Okay?

That picture you see there, folks? That’s a shot of Toronto in Google Streetview. In 3D. No, we don’t have any idea what’s going on either. All we do know is that you click on the little head with the 3D glasses and presto – insta-3D. While this may sound like an April Fool’s joke – and it may very well be a kind of one – we’ve seen this with our own eyes, and you can too, checking anywhere in Google Maps that supports Streetview. While we can’t report on whether or not the 3D actually works (can’t find those glasses that came with Coraline), reports from around Twitter seem to suggest it does. What possible use…

Avatar on the Mac? Apple to release new MacBook with 3D Glasses

Avatar on the Mac? Apple to release new MacBook with 3D Glasses

With the trend quickly leaning towards a Hollywood in 3D, Apple has jumped on board with the technology and released its concept of the MacBook 3D. Equipped with Apples version of 3D glasses, you can now enjoy the “Avatar experience” from the comfort of your own computer desk. The majority of the features will remain the same but added are stereoscopic iSight cameras, a touch screen trackpad and a hingeless spine design. If it wasn’t already nerdy enough to open your MacBook inside of Starbucks and be glued to your laptop screen, we will now be able to view these same nerds (myself included) while…

One-Screen Nintendo DS Concept At Least Twice as Sexy as Real DS

One-Screen Nintendo DS Concept At Least Twice as Sexy as Real DS

Now that we finally have confirmation a new Nintendo DS is on the way – with 3D no less! – we’re also free to wonder what the new device might look like. And as mind-blowingly successful as Nintendo products have been, they’ve never exactly exuded sexiness. Well, designer Mario Troise has a solution for old Ninty with this drop-dead gorgeous rendering of a possible DS that makes the line between the handheld’s eponymous dual screens invisible. Sure, it’s got a decidedly ‘Macbook feel’ to it – but is that really a bad thing? As sleek as the concept is, it also contains some great ideas, like a 3D projecting…

Nintendo DS, Coming At You In Three Dimensions

Nintendo DS, Coming At You In Three Dimensions

Nintendo has something big up their sleeve, and that thing happens to be a new DS. “Oh. Not another one!” you might be thinking. But this one is different: this one is in 3D. Even more interesting is that you will not be required to wear those odd 3D glasses! …

Nvidia Tech Will Let You Watch Avatar in 3-D At Home. Um, Yay?

Nvidia Tech Will Let You Watch Avatar in 3-D At Home. Um, Yay?

Didn’t we all just buy HDTV’s? Wasn’t HD supposed to be the next holy grail, and after we’d all plonked down our cash, we wouldn’t have to worry about new technology coming along for years? Nope. Partly thanks to Avatar, manufacturers are pushing 3-D in a big way, and those who want to stay on the cutting edge will have to invest in another massive set to hang on the wall. But computer graphics company Nvidia are looking to make a bit easier to adopt 3-D by allowing you to use the video card you already own to display 3-D movie. The new product is called 3DTV Play, and is a software solution that allows for any…
