3d Overdose

A Finnish company named StereoGames has developed an application that will make any image viewable in 3D, retrospectively. With the use of this application any video or game can be given an extra dimension. All that users need for the 3D experience is a pair of two-color anaglyph glasses. The developing company has claimed that the technology has been licensed to an Italian company named Mobile Solutions for a 3D version of their 2 player table tennis game. We all hope that the application finds some more areas where it can be used. The company is also investigating whether the system can be used on an electron microscope. The company is awaiting a patent so they did not reveal any details on the working of this technology.

The new FARO Laser Scanner LS from FARO Technologies is touted by the company as a new solution for 3-D laser scanning in color. The handy computerized measurement device scans and records all the dimensions of an object and creates a 3D image of that. The confined data can be further taken to develop a digital model for inspection, reverse-engineering, CAD-to-part contrast, factory planning, and even forensics. Owing to its cost-effectiveness, the new scanner is anticipated to have a great market potential. Moreover, the scanner delivers the automatic color overlay of 3-D pixels when used with the new Nikon D200 and FARO Scene v4.1 software. Via: ManagingAutomation

Interference is not always annoying. Especially if the person interfering in your business is none other than James Cameron, the great director behind effects-laden hits like The Terminator and Titanic. Mr. Cameron visited the sets of music video Wind It Up last October and shot a separate version of Gwen Stefani’s video with 3-D equipment. And the result must be seen to believe. 3D era is on a comeback trail and the nice thing is that the flimsy glasses that were associated with 3-D in the beginning, are absent. Now the special glasses will resemble normal sunglasses. Mr. Cameron who is currently working on a $200 million 3-D feature titled Avatar, has entered into a joint venture with Jimmy Iovine, the chairman of the Interscope Geffen A&M record label, to produce music films, concerts and other content in 3-D to show in specially equipped theaters. Mr. Cameron said: What it does is put you, the audience, right there with the performer onstage, in their creative reality.The whole idea of a concert may change. Mr. Iovine is very enthusiastic and hopeful towards this new step, which he believes is much needed to generate revenue for the ailing music business. He said: The record industry has to have lots of different revenue streams, and this just looks like one that’s creatively cool. And you can’t download it. You can’t get it anyplace else. Mr. Cameron is indeed a man with the Midas Touch and we shall wait patiently for some glitter that is soon to be added to the music industry.
