IBM Develops New 3D TV Technology

neutron_p writes "IBM has recently announced a new and affordable 3D video system that works with normal DLP (Digital Light Processing) televisions. IBM demonstrated the new system on a 50-inch, flat-screen Texas Instruments rear-projection digital television at the 22nd annual Flat Information Displays conference held in San Francisco this month. This "black box" device can be connected to any DLP projector or television via the common VESA 3 pin stereo connector. Exact details concerning the 3D technology - still unnamed - were not forthcoming, but the company spokesperson said it was compatible with OpenGL and Direct Draw, which is definitely aimed at software developers who make 3D games."

    Among other things, they helped the Nazis to more efficiently exterminate Jews and other victims of concentration camps, yet they refuse to apologize for doing it.

    I guess it's the same allure in the late 80s and early 90s for carrying around a cell phone. People like things that they think makes them look rich or important.
