What do you think about digital3dcamera.com inlight of the 3d camera industry?
Thanks.
Go Miyazaki, president of the Fujifilm division in the U.S. that is shipping the camera, said the company is committed to the evolution of imaging technology and that the camera is a necessary part of the food chain that consumers will adopt as TV shifts to 3D.
Some of us are not so sure that shift is going to happen soon. But big companies such as Fujifilm, Samsung, Panasonic and Sony are committed to making sure that we all love 3D. So they will pack their new products with more and more 3D capability, and eventually weâll all enjoy it because it comes along at no extra cost.
Public Media Works and its subsidiary, EntertainmentXpress, have plans to place up to 7,000 DVD movie and game kiosks in new convenience stores via an agreement with Modular Conversions.
The kiosks will feature 3-D screens (no glasses required), and the partnership includes an out-of-home advertising model, inviting marketers to use the screens to reach consumers on-the-go. Convenience store partners will share in ad revenue, as well as in DVD rental and sales revenue, according to the companies.
The partnership provides another way for marketers to reach consumers at gas stations and convenience stores, an advertising venue that has been growing in popularity in recent years. Gas Station TV and PumpTop TV also offer advertisers the opportunity to engage with users as they fill their tanks.
DOOH Rising, Particularly in Convenience Stores
The digital out-of-home market, including advertising opportunities on kiosks such as those offered by EntertainmentXpress, is being driven in a âvery positive directionâ - and convenience store activity is on the rise, according to DOOH aggregator Adcentricity. A recent Adcentricity report found that stronger-than-expected gains were seen in convenience-store activity, while convenience stores at gas stations saw quadruple the interest in Q2 than in the same quarter the prior year.

Old source you have there Dan I posted on the one in my sig on 31st July.![]()
http://www.thestar.com/news/science...cle/849086--race-is-on-to-make-3-d-porn-filmsDespite recent reports of three-dimensional backlash and poor returns for recent mainstream releases, the race to release what some claim to be the worldâs first pornographic film in the 3-D format is on around the world.
In Asia, Hong Kong filmmakers are working on 3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy, set for release next May. It is reportedly based on a piece of classical Chinese erotic literature, The Carnal Prayer Mat. According to the Sunday Morning Post, the film is set to star Japanese adult actresses Yukiko Suo and Saori Hara.
Italian director Tinto Brass announced last January he would produce a 3-D remake of his 1979 erotic film Caligula. According to reports, the film was to start shooting in May.
And Hustler, Larry Flyntâs American company best known for its porn magazine, has said it is financing and producing a 3-D spoof of James Cameronâs Avatar, the movie that started Hollywoodâs current 3-D craze.
Despite the salacious subject matter, the truth is that the pornographic industry has often been early adopters of new film technology, such as VCRs, which eventually helped pushed them toward mainstream acceptance. That hasnât changed with new digital tools, as the industry is often on forefront of adopting new Internet technologies, like webcams and live-streaming.
The news about the race to make the first 3-D porn also comes on the heels of some recent mainstream 3-D releases not performing well at the box office. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, a family-oriented film directed by Brad Peyton, didnât do well in theatres this month, and Step Up 3D has made less than the first two in the dance series, which were filmed in two dimensions.
These filmsâ poor showings have sparked fears in the industry, the Financial Times reported, citing the fact that 3-D films often cost up to 50 per cent more to make than 2-D versions.
âThe studios and theatres are overpricing 3-D films and thereâs too much out here,â Richard Greenfield, an analyst with BTIG Research told the newspaper. âThey are converting all of their movies into 3-D without any regard to quality.â
Talking about the budding backlash, Cameron recently told Entertainment Weekly: âThe whole 3-D market kind of overheated. Everybody got a little ahead of themselves. The studios were taking movies and just slamming them into 3-D with slapdash conversions that didnât live up to a standard of quality that would justify charging extra for the ticket. So people started feeling ripped off. . . . I think weâre in a period where itâs recalibrating the market. But even now, even after all that, the 3-D movies are still performing well above their 2-D versions.â
The Avatar director still believes in the technology, likening it to the change in movies from black-and-white to colour.
Right now though, one of those formative steps is the ability to watch something X-rated.
The "Step Up 3D" filmmaker's next project will be a 3D movie about the
teenage singing sensation, Justin Bieber, as cameras follow him behind the
scenes.
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1728819/sony-punts-3d-tvsSony has pumped gazillions of research money into 3D, from movie cameras and production to retail products and content. Now the company has added to its consumer lineup with the Bravia NX713 and NX813.
The NX713 is 40-inches while the NX813 is 55-inches and both come with full HD 3D and Dynamic Edge LED backlighting for higher contrast ratios. The NX713 has a 100Hz refresh rate, so it can't cope with Nvdia's touted 120Hz for 3D playback, but the bigger model has a 200Hz refresh rate.
Both models offer on demand Internet videos, Internet widgets and "exclusive" content like the FIFA World Cup. By exclusive we assume that's because no one else got to watch the World Cup in 3D thanks to an own goal between Sony and Sky over broadcast rights.
The units are what Sony called Monolithic Design, by which it means a minimalistic approach with all the bells and whistles tucked away. Obviously punters will get active shutter polarised 3D glasses and the kit will come with a 3D receiver to transmit the signal. While there's no word on how many glasses you get, many 3D TV manufacturers bundle one pair and charge £100 for a spare set.
"With 3D capability, the connectivity of BRAVIA Internet Video and stunning monolithic design, the NX713 and NX813 are perfect for people who want both style and performance from their TV," said Christian Brown, senior category marketing manager at Sony UK.
"More and more people recognize that 3D will play an important part in the future of home entertainment. And with the NX713 and NX813 you'll be safe in the knowledge that you're ready to upgrade to 3D viewing as soon as you decide the time is right."
Fuji is to launch its latest model of 3D digital camera FinePix REAL 3D W3 in September.
Unlike its predecessor, the revamped model will support continuous 3D filming and direct video playing on 3D TVs.
Besides all the new functions, the W3 is able to make three-dimensional photos after special development methods.
The camera's LCD was also upgraded into a 3.5 inch, while its previous model's was of 2.8 inches.
The camera, equipped with a pair of 1/2.3 inch CCD and Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens, will be priced at about 4,250 yuan ($625.8).

I just bought a "Holo" name....for when holographic TV hits...I thought it was short and brandable

Any thoughts??
I am not too good on appraising names, but II am not too good on appraising names, but I really like this one, as it's useful for the purpose for which you bought it and it's also a 5L.com.really like this one, as it's useful for the purpose for which you bought it and it's also a 5L.com.
Speaking of 3d without the glasses does anybody think either of these two names I regged are likely to be worth anything?

Also which do you think is better?
Many thanks
