IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc. (MDEA) today announced the launch of its nationwide 3D Experience Tour, which will introduce its unparalleled lineup of theater-like immersive 3D^* DLP^® Home Cinema Televisions to U.S. consumers. The tour packs Mitsubishi’s latest and greatest 3D TV technology into Mitsubishi’s Mobile Marketing Showroom, a 995 sq. ft. 18-wheeled home theater experience that gives viewers across the country the chance to experience the industry’s largest and broadest lineup of 60-inch plus large-screen 3D-capable TVs available today.

“…the best looking consumer-level set we’ve ever laid eyes on.”

The tour will showcase Mitsubishi’s full lineup of very large 3D DLP Home Cinema TVs, including an 82-inch behemoth which offers more than three times the viewing area of a 46-inch screen. All 3D DLP Home Cinema TVs use the same core DLP technology as the vast majority of 3D movie theaters to deliver a cinema-quality 3D sensory experience at home.

Sharing the stage will be Mitsubishi’s flagship 3D LaserVue^® TV, one of the world’s most energy efficient large screen TVs, bettering EnergyStar^® by 50 percent. LaserVue is the only TV that uses advanced laser technology to deliver true cinema-like color, approximately doubling the spectrum of color available in any other TV.

Engadget, the acclaimed technology blog, recently called LaserVue, “…the best looking consumer-level set we’ve ever laid eyes on.”*

For consumers who want fully immersive, cinema-quality 5.1 Dolby^® Digital surround sound without the hassle of extra wires and speakers, Mitsubishi’s 3D Experience Tour will include the Unisen^™ Immersive Sound LED TV series. The Unisen series integrates up to 18 intelligent speakers that use an advanced algorithm to delay and project perfectly balanced, independent sound waves that bring concert-quality audio to the viewing experience, without the clutter of separate audio components.

Mitsubishi has spearheaded the 3D movement into the home, selling 3D-capable TVs since 2007, being first to demonstrate 3D TV at retail and also showcasing 3D directly to consumers for over two years.

“3D is moving quickly into broadcast, theatrical and gaming content as consumers seek to immerse themselves in the games, movies, and sports programming they love,” says Max Wasinger, executive vice president of sales and marketing, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. “The Mitsubishi 3D Experience Tour brings this experience to towns and cities across America so that consumers can experience for themselves the eye popping, jaw dropping difference our cinema-quality DLP technology makes in 3D entertainment. This year represents the third consecutive year that we have used our mammoth big-rig Mobile Marketing Showroom to tour the U.S. and demonstrate 3D TV as it would be experienced in the home. We’re excited to again hit the road and introduce our unparalleled 2010 lineup of large screen, immersive 3D DLP Home Cinema TVs to America.”

ORLANDO, FLA. and PHILADELPHIA:Panasonic took 3D production to the people, so to speak, by supplying pre-production models of its new 3D camcorder to wedding videographers. Panasonic said this week that two production companies shot weddings in 3D with the AG-3DA1. The HD-3D camcorder was introduced in April at the NAB show in Las Vegas, where Panasonic accepted $1,000 deposits on it. The dual-lens camcorder becomes available Aug. 27.

Bruno White Entertainment in Orlando shot two weddings in 3D at Disney World. BWE’s Kyle Frazer handled the AG-3DA1. He said the “learning curve on the camcorder wasn’t intimidating… The 3DA1’s mix function made it easy to handle convergence and avoid frame violations.” 

Bernie Mitchell, president of Silver Platter Productions in Knoxville, Tenn., was involved in the shoots: “It’s a very flexible camcorder: we extended it up on a monopod to get some really nice high angle shots, and in one sequence, we actually lay on the ground and shot a nice, low-angle shot framing the bride and groom in a doorway.” 

Michael Brand, ( pictured) principal of Pennsylvania-based Lafayette Hill Studios, also shot two summer weddings with the 3DA1. “I was taking 3D still photos 25 years ago, but until now I couldn’t envision 3D video for weddings,” he said. “You’re not going to take a beam splitter to a church!… The camcorder handles details and blacks beautiful. Because you can adjust convergence so easily, you can produce gorgeous 3D video that is immersive, not gimmicky. It didn’t take me long working with the camcorder to learn where I had to stand for the best shots.”

Both Brand and Frazer are editing the 3D footage on Final Cut Pro with the Dashwood 3D Plugin. 

What do you think is better than HD (High Definition)? HD in 3D, of course! It would seem that the folks are DirecTV are planning to launch an all HD 3D channel sometime in 2010. This will be possible thanks to a new DirecTV satellite being launched sometime soon, and should be fully operational by March 2010. With that in place, you should be served a variety of movies and sports that conform to the latest 3D standard. The good news in here is that all this should work just fine with your DirectTV HD box after a firmware update; but the bad news is that you’ll probably a need a new TV that is compatible with 3D, and there should be plenty of such TVs announced at CES 2010. Will be all be watching 3D HD movies by the end of 2010? We certainly hope so. Source: ubergizmo.com

Let’s start out by talking a little bit about the evolution of 3D. You may have heard the news recently about 3D Footage of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth shot back in 1953. You might think, wow, 3D was around way back then. However, if you are a 1950’s film fan, you might remember Vincent Price in the House of Wax or Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder originally presented in 3D. The truth is, is that 3D, or more accurately Stereoscopic 3D, was first created with still pictures in the 1840’s with a device called a stereopticon. Think of it as an early forerunner of the Viewmaster, which started in 1939 and reached its height in popularity in the mid-60’s. Read the rest of this entry »

Last December 1-3, 2009, 3D Stereo Media was held at the Convention Center of Liège, Belgium. Literally, it was like a “Festival” of 3D technology and a Festival of 3D films. It showcased a series of seminars and presentations tackling everything about the aspects of 3D stereo, today and beyond. It also features an exhibit showing the state-of- the-art in many areas of 3D, in particular for 3D in the cinema and in the home for advertisement, and for communication.

2D vs 3D what is in store and where are we going? What usually starts out as a friendly discussion can easily turn into a venom spewing argument about what’s better, what sells more, and if the 2d era is still relevant. It seems Mr. Miyamoto, someone who’s made his fair share of both 2d and 3d titles, weighed in on a similar discussion in the latest Nintendo Power.  Miyamoto thinks that not everything needs to be 3d while conceding that there are huge benefits to it. On the the 2d front, he says these games should focus on fun and gameplay and not worry too much about visual experience. What he says could be misconstrued to mean 2d games look like a pile of brownie mix, but on second thought you can take it to mean sometimes 2d games try too hard to be like 3d games and lose focus on the important aspect (i.e. FUN).  This couldn’t be more true as New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a blast to play and doesn’t require too much skill to just pop in and have some fun . 2D gaming is far from being over although it’s fears are valid with the new breed of 3D games and gamers it is a great lesson in sustainability and weathering time. Lets just keep it fun and play nice there is room for 2D and 3D. Right? Source: http://mmomfg.com

As everyone is aware, 3D cinema has rapidly established itself in the Hollywood limelight as the decade draws to an end. This year has possibly being the most eventful year in 3D audience’s history, over the past eleven months brand new invigorating news is released on a daily basis which leaves technological consumers in awe. At this moment in time cinema screens are filled with 3D films, advertisements are now literally jumping out of the screen at audiences, laptops with 3D capabilities allow gamers to be completely emerged in their virtual world and now television audiences are invited into the three dimensional experience. Channel 4, a British television station has recently brought UK audiences a full week of 3D television programming and it was received with open arms. Although the 3D technology has had a tendency to re-appear then disappear just as quickly, the modern advancements in electronic technology are sure to see the three dimensional ‘gimmick’ becoming a permanent fixture in a television consumer’s life.  In 2010 many companies are set to release full HD 3D television sets into the market, as well seeing popular gaming consoles being updated to bring the 3D experience into the console gaming world. As well as the technology improving, television broadcasters are also constantly in talks over potential future 3D programming. Most recently the 2010 FIFA World Cup has been said to aim for at least 50% of its games to be aired in HD 3D, whilst the director of the London 2012 Olympic games aims to bring the global event to audiences in this new exciting way. As well as individual events being discussed about airing in 3D, ‘SKY’ television has taken the process a step further by stating that they would launch the United Kingdom’s first ever 3D channel by the end of 2010. After hearing of all the upcoming releases and plans, and by reviewing Hollywood’s intended output, the future is certainly set for a surge of ‘in your face’, three dimensional experiences which will not fade away quite as easily as before.

3D in the sense of capturing reality in real time manipulating it and generating incredible motion pictures plucked from time and space. MIT has Created the ultimate in  Computer based illustration  a  uniquely design paint brush specially made for children bust the possibilities are endless. The I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by “picking up” and drawing with them literally. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up color, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special “ink” they just picked up from their immediate environment. Just running the brush over any surface, object, animal, vegetable, or mineral it as you have turned the world in to you palette you can even use moving objects.

There are many paint/drawing programs on the market today that are designed especially for kids. These let kids do neat things, but kids usually end up playing only with the “preprogrammed” digital palette the software provides. The idea of I/O Brush is to let the kids build their own ink. They can take any colors, textures, and movements they want to experiment with from their own environment and paint with their personal and unique ink. Kids are not only exploring through construction of their personal art project, but they are also exploring through construction of their own tools (i.e., the palette/ink) to build their art project with.

Hollywood is turning just about everything into a movie, from board games to game shows? Whats next Double Dare?  The Dating Game or Fear Factor. Imagine Brad Pitt Eating Earthworms. We have already seen Who wants to be a millionaire portrayed on the big screen in”Slumdog Millionaire”, and now one of the producers of “300″ is bringing us “American Gladiators” in 3D no less. Scott Mednick, also an executive producer of this fall’s “Where the Wild Things Are,” has hired “Point Break” screenwriter Peter Iliff to script the previously announced adaptation of the physical competition series as a movie that, Variety says, will “feature the Herculean characters as superheroes.” The contenders have yet to be names but It would certainly be appropriate to have amateur athletes as the contenders to be true to the format of the show, which involved everyday contenders battling the gigantic male and female Gladiators for a shot at $100,000 and a car. “American Gladiators” was a hit in the ’90s and then revamped for a short-lived redo last year. The fact that the recent version wasn’t as successful can now only be explained by the fact that it wasn’t big and in-your-face enough. Apparently, as /Film noticed, the movie version will be in 3-D, since IMDb lists “U2 3D” producers 3ality Digital as handling the adaptation’s special effects. If you’re excited to see pugil sticks and sling-shot humans coming at you in 3-D, you’ll likely also be happy to know the “Jackass” franchise will allegedly be continued in a third movie, this one in three dimensions as well. Cinematical writer William Goss noticed the “Jackass 3-D” title in an e-mail detailing Paramount’s 2010 slate. In what may be the most logical utilization of the new 3-D technology, we’ll be able to see all of the crazy stunts heightened by the format, whether it’s Johnny Knoxville being shot from a catapult or Steve-O’s notoriously weak stomach spewing phantom bile all over the audience. Now if only we can get Smell-O-Vision back for “Jackass 3-D” as well. Okay, so maybe that wouldn’t be such a popular experience, but the 3-D element will fit perfectly. I just hope that between this and the “American Gladiators” film, nobody gets the idea to bring us “America’s Funniest Home Videos 3-D” on the big screen. Then again, “man getting hit in the crotch” in 3-D would be quite hilarious, wouldn’t it? Source: Movieblog.mtv.com
