Before you think this will require some elaborate set of skills that are far beyond your capabilities give this video a watch. Seems like it shouldn’t be all that hard.
GoPro is about to impress us with another great idea, but you’re going to have to wait a while for the public rollout (it should be worth it though!)
Local Motors, a Chicago-based vehicle company, has 3D printed a plastic car called the Strati and are showing it off at the International Manufacturing Technology Show.
Scan objects and rooms in 3D, play augmented reality games, and develop mobile apps with 3D vision. For iPad, yet hackable.
This may give you a semi if you’re an engineer, designer, or an architect. Meron Gribetz is the founder and CEO of Silicon Valley startup, Meta. Meta is dedicated to creating an augmented-reality headset that will let you interact with virtual reality objects in the real world.
Finally, the world’s first point-and-shoot 3D camera! While it’s not a conventional camera, if you can use a point-and-shoot Nikon we are told that you’ll find the Lynx even easier to use. Instead of 2D images, the ‘Lynx A’ produces 3D models of whatever you point it at. Although it’s the size of a laptop […]
Fright Night [3D] is a comedy-horror movie remake of Tom Holland’s 1985 cult classic. You know the VHS rental cover that used to scare the marbles out of you at the video store as a kid, the one with the massive vampire face laughing over a haunted mansion… ja, that one.
Disney’s 3D The Lion King reissue has been topping the box offices for the past two weeks, and netted them a cool $22,1 million over a weekend. So it’s not surprising that somebody in the studio realised that, hey, they have a bunch of other well-loved movies that they could probably re-release and make money with too.
Hollywood’s pathological lack of imagination/lust for audience dollars gathers force as it continues to pilfer the back catalogue of fan favourite flicks. This time not to re-make, or reboot, but to re-D into 3D. Reports have emerged that both Top Gun and Titanic are to receive the 3D treatment and be re-released to audiences around the world as early as next year.
Attention all Star Wars acolytes: your beloved messiah, George Lucas, has decided to milk even more money out of you. Yes, he’s re-releasing the entire series again, but this time in 3D. All of which will make him richer than Rupert Murdoch and Oprah combined.
Let’s get this straight; 3D is just another means of resurrecting a spluttering film industry by charging you double the price for films with half the plot.
