The concept behind this projector is actually quite simple, since it wants to replace the already familiar interactive blackboard/projector combo with a much more affordable solution made up of a projector and a pen like device that lets you write and draw anywhere on the projected image. What is so special about this device is that at about 15... [read more >>] Sony was one of the pioneers in the field of 3D display solutions, and it seems that the Japanese company is keen on maintaining that leading role. And that's because they've just presented their RayModeler, a display that will allow users to view full-color volumetric objects from just about any angle. The device, which is, for the time being, just in prototype stage, uses LED display solutions and can show no less than 360 different images in all directions, at 1 degree intervals. The fact that these images are actually separated, even by such a tiny interval, helps the device create the 3D image within the viewer's brain,... [read more >>] “Everyone can make 3D, but not everyone can make good 3D.” This is one of the most interesting and catchy phrases I've heard lately, and it's got even more punch coming from the representatives of one of the most important contenders on the next-gen 3D HD solutions, Japanese company Sony. This seems to be Sony's official stance on the issue of consumer-grade 3D solutions, and it has got quite a lot of things backing it, since the company is actively involved in the whole “3D ecosystem,” starting with 3D content creation and ending with its delivery to the end consumers via its 3D-capable Bravia HDTVs....

And the most recent product we've had the chance to briefly test for ourselves in real-life conditions is the Panasonic NeoPDP VT20 plasma HDTV, a 3D-capable device that, as far as we're concerned, is a pretty serious contender at the title of “Best 3D-capable Full HD TV solution” out there.Similar to most other advanced 3D solutions out there, the NeoPDP VT20 series was initially unveiled... [read more >>] Without a doubt, the hottest trend in television nowadays is that of 3D HDTVs, a brand new type of products that are supposed to bring an extra level of realism to our TV-watching experience. As some of you will certainly remember, we've seen plenty of such products being announced back at CES 2010, and we were anxiously waiting to have some close encounters with these advanced HDTVs.So, today, during a local press event, we've had the chance of getting very close and personal with one product of this type, namely LG's LD920 model, which uses a polarized filter and glasses in order to display 3D images in glorious Full HD, 10... [read more >>] Let me tell you right from the start that this display wall was created especially for viewing of those immense gigapixel photos that you have probably heard about until now. Just in case you are curious about them, here is the largest photo of this kind taken until present day - it is one of the city of Paris. The video below is an introductory one for the 22-megapixel display wall on which the creators navigate through a 13.3 gigapixel picture of Tromso, Norway, taken by photographer Eirik Helland Urke.The 22-megapixel display wall itself was developed by two graduate students who simply wanted to have a powerful and more enjoyable system... [read more >>] As some of you might have heard, earlier this year (well, during CES 2010, to be precise), Sony decided to take their Bravia line of HDTVs to a whole new level, not only in terms of image quality but also as far as the overall design is concerned.

[read more >>] Ever since Sony announced back at IFA 2009 its plans to focus on 3D entertainment for the home, we were extremely curious to see just how this concept would be materialized.
