Sony and Toshiba are reportedly in a race to develop quality 3D technology that you can watch with bare eyes, though they seem to be concentrating on this benefiting television screens. There are some pricing and tech issues, but there’s no reason to think at least an expensive model will be ready in a few years, perhaps just in time for Sony to market its product as a tie-in with a 3D Blu-ray release of its Spider-Man reboot.

Don’t expect to see that superhero movie in the format without glasses on the big screen, though. Given how long it took (and is still taking) for theaters to convert to digital 3D-capable screens, I don’t see the industry going too crazy for any further advances requiring more costly equipment upgrades. Not anytime soon. So the big issue here is that 3D TVs will keep improving and adapting to consumer satisfaction while cinemas will have to deal with what they’ve recently invested in for a long time. And people will have another reason to stay home: the 3D in their living room will be better and more comfortable.

Despite some spin made by blogs like Superhero Hype and Splash Page, I have to note that there’s no real connection made by Sony or by AP’s report on this topic between the Spider-Man reboot and its potential to be available in glasses-free 3D. By the time the Marc Webb-directed film hits home video 3D DVDs and Blu-rays will be fairly common, so it’s not a big deal or surprising that this 3D movie would also be available for 3D home video formats. However, it would behoove Sony to mark the film’s home video release as a temporal aim for its tech plans due to it being a Sony title. 

Toshiba set to offer 3D upgrade kit for its Blu-ray recorders soon …

The 3D laptop market seems to be gathering momentum, with both Toshiba and Lenovo announcing 3D-capable laptops this month.

And with other manufacturers dropping hints that they will follow suit, it seems like a good time to take stock of the potential direction of the portable 3D computing market. Read the rest of this entry »

According to recent data, Samsung is leading the 3D TV market with an estimated 90% of worldwide sales. Around 300,000 3D TV’s have been sold across the globe with around 270,000 of those purchased being Samsung 3D displays. Initially Samsungs only contender for sales in the 3D market was Panasonic, however other electronic giants such as Sony, LG, Sharp, Mitsubishi and Toshiba will all soon be releasing their 3D technologies onto the consumer market.

In recent years, increasing demands for more realistic images has been the catalyst for 3D displays in various applications, such as movies, TV broadcasts, games, and mobile phones. As a result, the stereoscopic display market is expected to grow rapidly.
A 3D image is created by providing slightly different images to your left and right eyes. There are two methods of separating a picture into left and right images: one uses special glasses, and the other is without glasses, called auto-stereoscopy. The with-glasses approach is applied to movies and TV, and there are two primary methods: one uses polarizing filters, and the other is based on time division. This new LCD panel employs the latter time-based, with-glasses approach.
In the time-division with-glasses method, images for the left and right eyes appear alternately, with the special glasses working as a synchronous shutter. That is, when the left image appears, the left liquid crystal shutter opens while the right shutter closes. When the right image appears the right shutter opens while the left shutter closes. Repeating this operation at high speed allows the user to synthesize the left and right images in their brain and to recognize them as a 3D image.

At the International Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month 3DGUY was interviewed by Neil Schneider, the President of Meant to be Seen, the largest S-3D gaming website on earth (See the interview here). 3D ruled CES this year and industry professionals had nothing but praise for the upcoming ‘next-generation’ technology. Despite the 3D hype and excitement there was only camera crew in sight filming the convention in 3D. That’s right, 3DGUY. The interview featured on the MTBS3D TV homepage contains footage and an explanation of how the innovative 3DGUY 3D rig works.  CES 2010 wasn’t the only globally respected convention where 3DGUY captured the hectic environment in 3D. Late last year 3DGUY also took the rig to the Far East to shoot the Japanese show, CEATEC. Read the rest of this entry »

This month’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas witnessed an uprising of 3D technology. 3D displays, 3D Blu-ray and 3D computers dominated the technological show. Samsung, Panasonic, LG, Sony and Mitsubishi all previewed their upcoming next generation technology. However, one manufacturer’s 3D display effortlessly stood out from the crowd, the Toshiba ZX900 Cell TV. The Toshiba ZX900 Cell TV is an innovative piece of technology that utilizes technologies and varying features never before seen on a television before. Here’s a breakdown of what makes the ZX900 so special. Read the rest of this entry »

Each of the major TV manufacturers launched 3D sets at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. 3D is the most popular thing at CES this year and obiviusly, its something that the electronics industry is embracing. At the show, Sony has released a number of televisions and Blu-ray players that support new-fangled 3D.

The BDP-S770, which supports Multiview Video Encoding for 3D video and  built-in WiFi, will soon be available in summer 2010. It also has , DLNA support, an application that enables the iPhone and touch to be used as remote controls. Downloaded it from Apple’s App store for free! source: hexus.net
