The technology, also known as passive 3d uses similar glasses to those found in top end cinemas to deliver 3D pictures in a sustainable way in the living room. The campaign started today in UK cinemas with a brand new advert to explain the...

When we were at IFA the whole show was rocking out the latest 3D tech, including large screen 3D projectors. When speaking with fellow attendees more than one raised an eye brow when thinking of possible uses for 3D with many of them suggesting one of biggest online trades – porn. It seems the French also buy into this train of thought as they are the first European...
After a fairly intense period of posting what felt like nothing but 3D news, it now feels like quite a break since our last 3D related post but Sharp has leapt in bravely to offer us some help in that respect. OK, so it doesn’t have the snappiest title in the world but the BD-HP90S is a 3D capable Blu Ray player which almost instantly plunges into the world of greatness...
It’s not that often we get excited about a new car advertisement and we’re struggling to remember when we last got giddy over the release of an advert for a hybrid car but it’s happened. The reason for our excitement? A ad agency called glue Isobar has created a projection mapping video to highlight the new and equally innovative hybrid engine in the...
That’s right, the moment that at least a handful of us have been waiting for is finally here – Sky 3D has launched. The new, dedicated 3D channel will air for around 14 hours a day starting at 9am. We imagine day time 3D TV to be the likes of Jeremy Kyle but are reliably informed that it will in fact be programs like football and sporting events, because these...
If you’re looking for the largest and most popular film franchise of them all then you needn’t look much further than the Star Wars films. Following the incredible success and longevity of the original trilogy, a prequel of trilogies was also added to the line-up with the final instalment released 7 years ago. There hadn’t been all that much movement...
Resident Evil: Afterlife opens today and is apparently the first game adaptation film in 3D but according to industry analysts it will be the first of many because immersive gaming worlds and the colourful characters lend themselves perfectly to the use of 3D filming. If the idea of seeing Milla Jovovich in 3D does it for you then you may be happy to know that the film’s...
There was a lot of exciting TV’s on show at IFA 2010, some had interesting features and all manufactures went big with 3D but they were all shown up by LG’s new and innovative LEX8 Nano LED TV. The new TV utilizes a brand new kind of LCD panel; the LEX8 has an ultra thin layer in front of the direct LED back lighting. The neat thing here is the film is covered in microscopic...
Viewsonic has announced that it will transition from the use of CCFL displays over to the more ecologically progressive and higher quality LED displays. Every new monitor that the company launches will use LED technology and this not only means that they will consume a lot less energy, many featuring quite incredible additional energy saving options, but it also means...
You can barely turn around at the moment without being smacked in the face by an albeit beautifully realistic and gloriously good looking 3D-this or 3D-that. As if Sky 3D TV and 3D camcorders weren’t enough, the new Fuji Finepix offers 3D photo taking at a not entirely unreasonable £400 price tag. Fuji will also be offer 3D printing services because obviously the...
