3D Blu-ray is upon us, or is it?

3D Blu-ray is upon us, or is it? Yesterday, the Samsung BD-C6900 was made available for pre-order on Amazon.com, however shortly after it surfaced which caused much excitement, it then disappeared. The Samsung BD-C6900 3D Blu-ray player was set to retail at $399.99. To utilize the 3D Blu-ray player users will need a compatible 3D display .The BD-C6900 3D technology is fully compliant with the newly established Blu-ray 3D standard that was demonstrated at this month’s Consumer Electronics Show. Although the technology is no longer viewable on Amazon, the brief appearance of the pre-order form hinted that 3D Blu-ray is right around the corner.

    Shigeru Miyamoto’s Opions on 3D and 2D gaming

    Miyamoto

    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?

    The Three Dimensional Decade. Coming soon.

    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.

    3D TV1

    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.

    I/O Brush 3D Painting The World is your Palette

    digitaltechnologies_3

    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.

    American Gladiators 3D Movie

    AmericanGladiatorsCastPhoto copy

    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?

    3D To Invade Japan in the Future

    3D is unbelievably on its way up. More and more gadgets, specifically, televisions, are getting 3D technical advances. Many devices are already available in the market.
    Recently, Sony bombarded the International Broadcast Equipment Exhibition 2009 in Japan with its 280-inch 3D LED display (measuring 6.4×3.4m). It can be switched from and can switch between 2D and 3D video. The big LED wall was comprised of 70 28-inch LED displays.
    “Not only movies but also other moving images will go 3D in the near future,” the companies said.
    Sony Corp and Sony Marketing Inc showcased a business-use camera, processor to compensate and adjust 3D images, switcher and recorder for editing, monitors to check images, projector and many more.
    “3D images are already broadcast in live sports and music programs via cable TV networks and satellite broadcasting in US,” Sony said. “In the future, such movements will occur in Japan, too.”
