Panasonic 3D TV Does Not Disappoint

Engadget recently had a chance to try out Panasonic's 3D demo rig, and, aside from the goofy glasses, report some impressive results. "Active shutter 3D technology once again did not fail to impress, though large format action content like the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony and action sports footage was far more impressive than the movie trailer. The benefit of a picture where everything, regardless of distance from the camera, is in focus is one of the biggest benefits 3D has going for it and nothing makes that more apparent than video from a large stadium. Aside from a few glitches from a pair of the glasses being low on battery and flickering annoyingly throughout, the framerate was smooth and the picture sharp, a marked difference from the jittery motion we witnessed during JVC's 3D demo earlier in the day."

    This all 3D-to-the-eyes is an old trick, but over the past year I've started to think that now theres actually good technology available for it.

    I purchased myself the NVIDIA 3D Vision and played with it on various games. My favourite game for the past year has been left4dead and the 3D effect on it is really outstanding - everything looks so much scarier and you actually feel like being there.

    The old cheap tricks are quite obsolote now as tech has improvent. But the future of gaming and movies surely is in this 3D and "be there" experience. Even MS and Sony have admitted that just pushing megapixels and polygony amount isn't the best thing, as they're at their maximum already anyway. We always see these things in movies, but the technology isn't really far from there now.

    Now the only thing is about making it convenient for end users.

    A) I have no ears and can't use them! Sucks to be yyou, there not selling to your demographic

    B) I only have one Eye. Clearly they should stop developing product for people with two eyes.

    C) I have problem[X]. we don't care.

    D) It's not real 3d. STFU. It has Height, width and depth. 3.D. It is only 1 angle, but still 3d.

    E) I don't like it! So? why do you bother posting

    well, that should address 80+% of the incoming posts.
