ST. PAUL, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–3M is now providing consumer electronics manufacturers with a revolutionary advancement in the emerging field of miniature projection technology. 3M scientists developed a breakthrough ultra-compact, LED-illuminated projection engine designed for integration into virtually any personal electronic device. Roughly the size of a wireless earpiece and less than half an inch thick, the 3M mobile projection engine delivers brilliant VGA resolution images and is available today.
When deployed in a host platform, such as a mobile phone, 3M’s technology can project a 40-inch or larger image with no-speckle and a high-fill factor that ensures superior image quality. Each engine uses an advanced liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) electronic imager in conjunction with proprietary 3M optics technology.
Imagine carrying a full size (40”) tv inside your cell phone? Thats where we are headed in the future, according to 3M.
LONDON — A researcher from Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (Cambridge Mass.) explains a complete real-time three-dimensional television capture and display system. It’s complex but well explained.
Mitsubishi is set to release a system that allows real-time, full 3D without the need of any special peripherals. This is something that has been hinted at but never actually created for years.
nVidia’s 8800 Ultra card is the fastest video card on the market, bar none. According to HardOCP, nVidia aims to raise the bar again in the spring with their next-gen card, the 9800 GX2.
