Sony reveals real 3D in a glass tube ...

So, go ahead! Who's stopping you?

Thanks, Rich

A return to mechanical tv at last. John Baird would approve :-).

Very, very cool device though. Shame that we don't appear to have the imagination to get that that sort of stuff together in Europe...

REality 3D sucks.. It's about time someone started working on improving reality 3D. :P

I imagine it is just an lcd bent into a cylinder. Not true 3D unless it is sphereical(which I suppose would not be much more difficult.

Well to cheer you up, a nice 3D system was invented by some German students some years ago.

You can see its motorized. Not true 3D, but you can look from any direction and see that perspective as a 2D image.

Interesting to say the least.

some years ago.

Looks interesting, but sony will turn their idea into something they can sell...

That contradicts what the video said.

Indeed, if you think about it, given that you see different images in the video as the 'object' rotates, it's clear that if you were seeing it through two eyes, each eye would see a different image, and you would get a sensation of depth as a result.

We can all gather round the screaming turbine for HDTV. remember to replace the bearings every 10,000 hours!

First invented by (obviously) the Russians: the Nipkov scanner.

Of course Nipkow was a German. ;)
