3D LCD TV for sale from july

Don’t get too excited. It’s headed to Korea.
LG has finally announced that its first 3D LCD, the 47-inch 47LH50, will be available for purchase next month. The new TV is based on the 47LH50, so shares its model number, and is functionally identical.

The only difference being that it will have you wearing dorky polarized 3D glasses once in a while. We may just see it here in the US at some point. The old 47LH50 made it to the US, so this one just might as well. No price info yet, but the old one was about $2000.

Motion tracking 3D cam for XBOX soon

In a attempt to overcome the Nintendo WII, Microsoft is believed to be developing a 3D camera for the Xbox 360 games console that will allow players to control games through their body movement.

Unlike the Nintendo's WII which requires a Wiimote to identify the player's movement, the Microsoft XBOX360 camera uses the movement of the player's head, arm and leg.
The accuracy is achieved by using a 3D Z-cam technology which Microsoft acquired Israeli start-up 3DV Systems in February. Sources say that this would be demonstrated in the E3 game industry conference this june and it would be on sales from next year.

Humble Telescope - A 3D universe Simulator

Many of us are curious about the universe around us,
however for most of us the task of star gazing is out
of reach. Light pollution in our cities prevents us from
seeing the marvel that is the night sky.

The Humble Telescope is designed as an interactive
civic sculpture that brings the wonders of space down
to earth and into our cities, to encourage us learn more
about the universe and perhaps appreciate our own
world a little more.

Inside the telescope exists a 3D simulation of our entire
known universe. Pointing the telescope in any direction
immediately shows us what exists in that area of space,
so now we can get a greater understanding of where
the planets are and where we live in the Milky Way .
