This is side-effect of playing too much Kinect with hands-air-grabbing co-ordination automation.

That's because of the glasses has to be able to block light when they are not used. The important thing is that the color and contrast are spot on.

We have to be on specific location to get 3D image. Definitely this is not "Living Room Ready" technology!
IMO 3D TV without glass is still far away to achieve.

Yesterday at the Digital Lifestyle Expo, tried a red/blue cyan glasses (RM 29) watching something on a LCD monitor. The 3D effect not bad...but the colour is very bad....like no colour already....cannot compared with active shutter glasses at all...

But if u just want to try it on the cheap, i guess it's ok...RM 29 for the glasses and you can download some 3D movies to try...or if you have an NVIDIA card, just run your games/movies in 3D.

But i think prolonged period will give u headache....i didn't buy one...maybe head back today and buy one and pick up some other stuff...

Dun forget to take pictures of that nice babes with low cuts@DECT booth

Apple patents glasses-free, multi-viewer 3D

Apple has been granted a patent for a projection system that can enable multiple viewers to simultaneously view 3D images without the need for those dorky 3D glasses. The patent, succinctly entitled "Three-dimensional display system," is fiendishly complex, but its goal is simple: to provide "highly effective, practical, efficient, uncomplicated, and inexpensive autostereoscopic 3D displays that allow the observer complete and unencumbered freedom of movement." Autostereoscopic is the standard term for the ability to present 3D content without the need for eyewear such as active shuttered or passive polarized glasses, as are used for most current 3D presentations. As the patent states, "...most voyages into virtual reality are currently solitary and encumbered ones: users often wear helmets, special glasses, or other devices that present the 3D world only to each of them individually." Understandably, this is less than ideal — "observers generally do not like to wear equipment over their eyes," the patent notes.

No. The dect babe looks way cuter..and MUCH MUCH LOWER FRONT CUT.

The trailer for Pirates of The Caribbean 4 in 3D looks good.

Has anyone successfully played downloaded 3d content and play it from video file (not blu ray player) from a PC onto an active shutter 3d HDTV? Would like to share experience with you. Currently using PC with HD5770 card and LG LX9500 HDTV.

Sounds interesting.When will be the technology born?

Yup, 3D effect looks great compare with Tron.

Well it's all in how you want often you want to shock your audience. The director can create the POP effect on camera then tweak it at post with the stereographer. Tron doesn't have that at all but it does have excellent depth detail. POTC naturally lends itself to the in-your-face kind of moments which works for it. Even then, I'm sure POTC would not have a lot of those moments, unlike Final Destination.

Looking forward to Transformers and Tin Tin this year. Will be watching those at Maxx.

Watch 4D movie in Genting last week...wah lau...i think 15 minutes to 30 minutes only....but wsnna vomit liao...i think 3D is not my cup of tea.

i don't understand......i really don't understand......why ???? .....here cost more than RM10k.....but US...........


http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-VIERA-TC-P...4701743&sr=8-11


3D contents is getting more and more........


Thinking of cheaper 3D setup:

Viewsonic PJD6211 DLP = RM1800
Projector screen = RM200
3D glasses = RM200
Notebook = RM1200

Total = RM3400
without notebook = RM2200

3D Contents = Download from Internet (3D half SBS mkv)


for bedroom:
Acer 23.6 120Hz LED monitor + 3D glasses = RM1299
Sammi 6900 3D blu-ray player = around RM1000

Total = RM2299

Yea, US offer any hdtv a lot more cheaper....like sony flagship 3dtv right now, Bravia HX909 52'' only cost you USD2500, I wonder if this model is launched at Malaysia, how the price gonna skyrocket?

Added on January 11, 2011, 8:42 amGuys, I have a question. Currently i'm at US pursuing my degree. I'm looking for this particular 3DTV here, since it is way cheaper. The problem is, the TV does not tolerate PAL signal and only works on NTSC. I know Malaysia broadcast are using PAL signal. I also made some research, and found out that there is a device that can convert PAL to NTSC signal so that I can watch any PAL signal i.e. ASTRO if I were to bring the 3dTV to malaysia. Does anyone can confirm this? Thanks a bunch!

I already watch 3D at Big Cinema on Bream Mall. Compare with Maxx I can say that both place are great for 3D satisfaction. Ticket at Big Cinema also cheaper than Maxx.

This can work assuming your notebook will have the right video driver.

This won't work. The monitor can't handle frame packing video 3DBD because it's a PC monitor; the graphic card is supposed to send the frame packing video unpacked.

Either option, you may want to get the Optoma 3D-XL (which is hard to get in the US but apparently on sale in UK and HK) which can handle frame packing, side-by-side video.

PAL-to-NTSC converters have been available for a while so they will work. You just have to make sure that the device can handle Macrovision copy protection that Astro employs. Get one converter, send it to your family and see if they can make it work.

The US 3DTV you want must also handle 50Hz 1080i video. That's the video format that Astro B.yond handles.

Look into the Vizio/LG passive glasses 3DTV.

How big is the Big Cinema?

Thanks Bro!!! Really good info. Appreciate it!

Hmm, I'm not so sure about some of the technical terms you mentioned. Like 50Hz 1080i. The model that I'm looking for is Bravia HX909 or maybe I'll wait for the coming Bravia HX929. I checked on Sony website, it does state that the specs for HX909 is that it has features as follow:

- Power Requirements (frequency) : 60Hz for UL,cUL 50/60Hz for other
- it also handle 1080p/24 materials

Is that by what you mean by 50Hz 1080i?

Thanks!!

Maxx sure more bigger la Big Cinema hall just like normal hall on GSC one utama.
