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.

According to the press release from Barco, electric manufacturer Electrolux from Italy are installing new large-scale visualisation systems to drive down design costs; a 5-meter wide active stereo Barco Cadwall with 1920x1080 pixels resolution, and a 3.4 meter wide 10 megapixel mono wall.

To top it off, Barco have added their XDS system for source control and management. Sounds like a great design lab.

Moto Development Group seems to be doing well with their new multitouch screen technology based on what is referred to as "extremely fine" wires to conduct signals rather than ITO (indium tin oxide) as found in Apple Iphones and the likes.

According to Moto, the technology will allow scalability up to 50", with dimensions and pricing comparable to existing LCD-screen technology. This should for sure result in some very nice products such as multitouch enabled coffee tables and similar in a much better form factor that existing products based on bulky projectors. From the video, it seems that Moto are on track.
