Toshiba had a very good demo of glasses free 3D TV. It was a mile better with good color saturated images that popped in both directions. Also, the 3D was sharp and didn't make me nauseated like last years demo did. Also, the screen sizes of the demos were larger, like an average of 56"

The main negative was that this improved quality demo required your head to be in a sweet spot for the full effect. Move either side or above or below the sweet spot and the effect disappeard, making the image look typically double image, like regular 3D does without glasses.

The second negative was the overall picture quality was rather low resolution.

I saw a few other demos of glasses free and none toped the Toshiba demo, either worse than in quality of equal to it.


Bottom line is we're a long way from where we were last year but have a long way to go before glasses free matches the PQ of the active glasses 3D most are by now used to seeing.

Are they showing any production glasses free displays, or are these all "proof-of-concept" kind?

Only one I saw and it was the small camcorder monitor screen on the Sony 3D camcorder.

Ilya- you have to understand that current technology on these glasses free monitors are not good for multiple viewers. They work well when a pair of eyes are viewing from a single sweet spot. Some of the technology is using a camera to track the viewer's eyes so it stays in sync as you move your head a bit. ( I see this like the XBOX Kinect technology that uses a camera to track your movement. Toshiba even had one system that could track 4 pairs of eyes for up to 4 viewers but it was not good.

Again, Sony is selling a production version of glasses free in the 3D camcorder. They are also demonstrating an AMOLED screen as "Future of 3D" demo. I forget what size it was but from memory it was about 30 inches and could be seen by several people.

There were several demos of small cell phone sized screens being offered too but only as your proof of concept. Again, single viewer application.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.
