Newsight 3D photo frame promises to let you ‘see around’ images without glasses
A 3D digital photo frame may seem a bit excessive for even the most all-compassing technology bandwagon, but the folks from Newsight have managed to put a somewhat unique spin on the idea with this frame recently on display at SID 2010. Like some of the company’s other displays , this 3D LCD is auto-stereoscopic — meaning you don’t need any pesky glasses — but it also takes things one step further by supporting what’s known as “motion parallax,” which effectively means you can “see around” an image
MSI follows fate’s whispers, intros 24-inch Wind Top AE2420 3D
Typical, right? As the 3D craze flows from the cinema to the television and onto the PC , it was just a matter of time before one of MSI’s Wind Top all-in-ones shipped with support for the third dimension.
LG Display busts out 84-inch 3DTV with 3,840 x 2,160 res, we want the 2D version
Yesterday we brought you Samsung’s 19 inches of transparent AMOLED goodness , today LG counters with an 84 -inch 3DTV boasting UHD resolution and a claim to being the world’s biggest of its kind. To be honest, at that size you really can’t get away with old reliable 1080p, so it’s comforting to see LG’s keeping pixel pitch in mind when designing its headline grabbers.

Samsung releases Bada SDK for developers who want to ride the Wave
Samsung still hasn’t managed to get the Wave or any other Bada handset to market yet, but it’s doing the right thing by offering developers the software development kit first. Granted, with a planned June release Samsung isn’t managing the same sort of massive lead-time that Microsoft has with its Windows Phone 7 SDK, but a few weeks of pressure-free coding are better than none. The first public SDK for Bada was just made available yesterday, and inside developers will find an Eclipse-based IDE, a phone emulator, and tutorials
Inhabitat’s Week in Green: wind power, shoe power, and the world’s largest laser
The Week in Green is a new item from our friends at Inhabitat , recapping the week’s most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us. This week Inhabitat showcased several smart new technologies that harness clean green energy from unexpected (and undeniably awesome) sources. Volcanoes may be the bane of air travel as of late, but Indonesia has hatched a plan to harness their geothermal might to produce 4,000 megawatts of power
IR-detecting OLED film could mean cheap night vision on everything
Night vision , once the exclusive property of military special forces and dreadlock’d aliens, has over the past few years become far more accessible for the everyman — even everymen with small pockets . But, we could be on the verge of a green-screen revolution if research taking place at the University of Florida, led by Dr
