What do The Jonas Brothers and Lady Gaga have in common? Apart from the obvious answer of bad music. That’s right, 3D concerts. The controversial and popular female musician Lady Gaga will soon be bringing the 3D Concert experience to her fans, which is reported to be followed by the release of a 3D concert DVD.

With the launch of her album ‘The Fame Monster’ in December last year, a set of 3D glasses were included in the CD case, telling Gaga fans that they will be useful for things happening soon. In a recent interview with MTV, a spokesperson for Lady Gaga revealed, “There are talks about a 3D concert and DVD in the near future”.

At this years 82nd Annual Academy Awards the battle between 2D and 3D was truly on. James Cameron’s 3D epic ‘Avatar’ was up against his ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow’s 2D war-zone drama ‘The Hurt Locker’.

The 3DGUY and the3DSamurai.com have done it again. Following up on the video ‘Las Vegas 3D Nights’, we are now happy to bring you ‘The 3D Bellagio Fountains’ (WATCH IT HERE).

The infamous Bellagio Fountains show was recorded in 3D one evening following CES 2010 to demonstrate the difficulty of shooting 3D at night. The dark night’s sky makes it very difficult to give the impression of depth which is vital to successful 3D.

The video has already been featured on another informative 3D blog and is currently available for download on our website or viewable on youtube.

Although the entire world is preparing for 3D TV’s and 3D broadcasts there is a huge lack in actual 3D content available to the world. The first 3D TV’s will be released in March with 3D broadcasts coming in April and yet the availability of stereoscopic 3D content is still slim to none. This is where 3DGUY and The3DSamurai step in. You can download our 3D creations from the download sections on our website or you can see them over on our YouTube account here.

I know the majority of people don’t have the equipment necessary to view stereoscopic 3D content from home, which is why we upload our videos in the anaglyph format as well stereoscopic. For anybody using a 3D laptop, 3D capable monitor or NVIDIA 3D technology be sure to watch our videos in the row interleave 1 option on YouTube.

After attending January’s CES 2010 in Las Vegas, the 3D GUY and the3D Samurai took its innovative 3D rig out on to the mesmerizing streets of Sin City to capture fabulous Las Vegas in 3D.

Neil talks about how NVIDIA did it, what the trade-offs were and just what this means for the industry at large. Meant to be Seen (MTBS) has been successfully reaching gamers all around the world since 2007 and is now the largest S-3D gaming website on earth. MTBS over the years has built up an outstanding reputation for advocating stereoscopic 3D gaming

Next3D recently announced their patent-pending stereoscopic 3D encoding/decoding technology. Next3D’s ‘Compound-Entropy Stereoscopic Encoder (more easily recognizable as CESE) has the ability to reduce the redundant information in both the left and right eye views of stereoscopic 3D video content, which results in high quality video that requires much less bandwidth to transmit as opposed to two singular eye-views.

It has been announced that Citrus Valley Health Partners are the first full-service hospital system to offer its patients surgery using the new, most advanced version of the ‘Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci Si HD system’ technology.

The da Vinci Si HD system integrates three dimensional high-definition endoscopy (which is surgery that is performed through small holes in a patient’s body) and state of the art technology to virtually extend the surgeons hands and eyes when operating.

This new 3D HD visualization gives the surgeon a panoramic view, which results in the highest possible viewing area and resolution. The technology is still in its early days, however the president and CEO of Citrus Valley Health Partners said that “We are only starting to realize the full potential of this new technology.”

The future of the operating table!

If you are sick of looking at the same old isolated two dimensional desktop which has barely changed over the last 20 years then we have just the thing for you!

Bump Top is an alternative 3D desktop which enables users to visually connect with their desktops. It is described by its creators as having ‘the natural feel of a desk only with the power of a computer underneath to help make you more productive’.

It has one flat layer which has three ‘walls’ surrounding it, one horizontally and two vertically.  The 3D desktop allows you to pin your most important files on one of the surrounding walls which helps to make them more prominent in comparison to others. This is especially ideal for any important files that you may not want to forget about. As well as moving files to these walls, Bump Top allows you to create ‘sticky notes’ which you can simply keep reminders on and then stick them to your wall. Such as; ‘Stop playing on your computer and do your laundry!!!’

An example of the 3D Bump Top desktop in use!

The files that are in use most regularly become larger than other files which aren’t used quite as much, which again makes particular icons and files easier to find. As well as things becoming larger, Bump Top lets you create piles of files as you would in real life. Using these piles is an extremely easy way to keep organized and your desktop clutter free! With the piles you can simply scroll though them to see the files, like you would to glance at a magazine’s pages.

Within this fully 3D space, all walls are clickable and when clicked they will move you to focus on a particular viewpoint. As well as Bump Top being ideal for keeping things tidy, it has the ability to keep you up to date with what’s happening in your friends and families lives from just looking at your desktop. From the Bump Top desktop you can create a photo frame within which all your friends’ online photo feeds will become viewable, or you can simply drag a picture onto the facebook or twitter widget and it will be automatically uploaded to the social networking site.

So if you and your computer fancy a change, then we recommend that a three dimensional desktop is a good place to start. Bump Top is available for a free download from BumpTop.com

According to an announcement from Spatial View and Sony Music Entertainment Germany, the new 3DeeSlide iPhone and iPod accessory will allow users to watch glasses-free 3D movies.

3D movies are experiencing a great amount of popularity in theaters.  A practical solution for viewing 3D content while outside of the home has not been developed yet at least one that doesn’t involve a separate headset or glasses.

Spatial View is a company specializing in stereoscopic 3D, offers the 3DeeSlide as the solution. Using a lenticular screen, this device slides over your iPhone or iPod Touch and allows the viewing of three-dimensional content without the need for glasses.

The viewing angle is a bit limited, but when it comes to mobile devices, there’s usually only one person watching. Users are recommended to keep their device at a 90 vertical viewing angle, perpendicular to their eye line. The sweet spot distance wise is between 12” and 16” according to Spatial View.

The 3DeeSlide will be available shortly from in Germany (one of the countries that Spatial View calls home) and is expected to be on Amazon soon after. The product will be available individually or bundled with Sony Music’s “forsenses” Blu-ray disc, though a price has not yet been announced.

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?
