Touch screens are allowing us to break free from mouses and cursors and interact with the things we see on our displays more directly. But maybe the mouse just needed an overhaul—here’s how a spherical one could work. This is Axsotic’s 3D-Spheric-Mouse, designed to be used in conjunction with another input device to manipulate three-dimensional objects. 3D modeling is one obvious application for the thing, but as our pals at...
Read MoreLG’s A510 Laptop Converts 2D to 3D
As there’s barely any 3D content about, LG has very kindly equipped the A510 laptop with TriDef software which upscales 2D video to 3D. It’s not going to be the best 3D experience, but you know…it’s a start. The LED LCD screen measures 15.6-inches, and inside there’s an Intel Core i7 processor with an Nvidia GeForce GT425M graphics card pumping away and 1GB of DDR2 of RAM. Included in the pack is a pair of...
Read MoreToronto Firm Thinks It’s Perfected Single-Lens 3D Technique
Consumer trepidation aside, one of the other major issues standing in 3D’s way on its march into the mainstream is high production costs. 3D typically means two lenses, but one company, ISee3D, may have perfected a way using just one. In theory, ISee3D’s technique is mind-numbingly simple in its execution. According to them, one need only cover up one half of the camera lens, which shifts the focal point, and then cover up...
Read MoreHow 3D On The 3DS Actually Works
Not sure how 3D on the 3DS works? Let Hoagie from Day of the Tentacle explain. While some of you may already know the technical background behind the 3DS’ glasses-free technology, this video is still worth watching, because it gives you a few great examples of “cross-eye” 3D (including game footage), instances where you can cross your eyes while viewing two images to form a third, 3D picture. A warning, though: too much...
Read MoreLeaked: Panasonic Prosumer HDC-SDT750 3D Camcorder
Budding 3D home movie aficionados take note: An “affordable” consumer 3D camcorder, the HDC-SDT750, has leaked out ahead of a purported “official” reveal on July 28. The one caveat is this isn’t exactly a “new” camcorder at all: Nay, it’s actually an older 3MOS model with a “3D coversion lens” attached to the front. Nevertheless, this up-scaled 3D camcorder will sport 1080p...
