    Limited use now, but may be interesting in a few years time. 3D Bloggie can be used as a webcam also. They can be used to upload videos to Youtube 3D service.

    I believe Toshiba also has a laptop with stereoscopic 3D screen and 3D webcam.

    Sony Vaio S only supports glasses free 3D screen. LG has passive 3D (Cinema3D) screen. Acer uses nVidia's 3D Vision.

    I bought my 3D monitor for $700+. Will be glad to drop $800 for this thing.

    However, I think Sony should make this into a platform instead of a closed product. Should let partners add accessories like head tracker, mounted mini-camera, and other sensors. I don't mind a wireless video streaming service too.

    Week full of 3D craptiness , well , IMO, sad days for a technology, that was military grade/ CRT / DLP privilege just a while ago.
    -No hard feelings with Bethesda, they were sorta right in their presumption, what do we expect.

    At least QLED is on track.

    hehe , funny:
    -conglomerate stock down the drain
    "LG Electronics aims for fivefold increase in 3D TV market share"
    "LG.Display Stock Hits New 52-Week Low (LPL)"
    with glassesfree magic screens, you need an additional set of 8x8 2d pixels for usable "3d" resolution, a friend is a big fan, used to talk about lightfield synthesis and stuff. Based on my experience with shutters, I don't think that parallel spatial thing any cooler than directional backlights at high frequency , but whatever.

    Yep Doom 3 in 3D on a projector was the 'killer experience' for 3D gaming at one time.

    Saw a GAF user impression. They had a private presentation for the (game ?) industry:

    If Sony is successful with this I expect clones to quickly start eroding the price.

    Oh the bane of Sony. ^_^

    I hope they make it into a platform of HMD plugins. I'm also interested in pass-through mode where I can see the outside world via a 3D camera. Too bad the battery life will be gone in no time. May the optics can help somehow ? :twisted:

    I'd like to see transparent, augmented reality glasses combined with a motion tracker so I could relive all my favourite zombie invasions in the comfort of my own home. Aww if the guys behind Amnesia made a game for it... :twisted:

    Coop augmented reality Amnesia with my missus would just be the best thing ever.
