3-chip autostereo LCD from Zero Creative

Anders Øvreseth — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 07:25:19 +0000

Zero Creative has launched a brand new 71" autostereo LCD screen based on a 3-chip design. The system, allowing the viewer to see stereoscopic imagery without glasses, comes with a EUR 70.000 price tag, and since the power consumption is approximately 1kW, the lucky owner can also use it for heating a decent sized room.

Plans for 63", 48", 24" and 19" models seems to be in place according to their website.

Visual effects through a century

The week-end has started, and I thought this clip showing 100 years of visual effects was relevant enough to post on this blog; lots of known imagery for a former-Silicon Graphics employee here, at least in parts of the clips. Enjoy!

Fancy microprojector from 3M

Anders Øvreseth — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:45:15 +0000

3M has launched what appears to be a very nice microprojector, ideal for people on the move. The MPro 120 supports VGA resolution, and is, as expected, somewhat limited in terms of light output. The price is about USD 425 according to the source.

It would have been an interesting lab task to set up an array of these units, combined into a high resolution image. Anyone?

This video shows you the advertising from 3M.
