Some of these features will be unique to the PS3, which is why Id has nice things to say about the platform. Read The Full Story

If you're like the majority of consumers, chances are even though you enjoy going out to the theater to see the occasional 3D movie, you really haven't seen any value in buying a 3D TV for your home. And even if you have one of the costly television sets, there's still a good chance you rarely or never actually watch 3D content at home. But that isn't stopping the BBC from moving into the 3D universe in a very different way. Read The Full Story

Google Maps preempts Apple Maps with 3D Tour Guide

, Jun 6th 2012 Discuss [1]

This week at Google Maps' Next Dimension special event we got to see how powerful Google's world of mapping has really become with a full 3D vision of the world in a much more visually pleasing way than we've ever seen before. This talk started with a brief history of the 3D world, starting all the way back in 2003 when the 3D vision was nothing more than a whisper, while 2008 started with a bang with some "3D" images with flat, nearly-real images for arial views. This new version of Google Maps has airplanes capturing Oblique Images as captured from several sides as the plans overhead - this is just the first step. Read The Full Story

When we spoke with Ken Ralston and Jay Redd of Sony Pictures Imageworks, they described this movie just as it was: a collection of plausible alternate realities. It is at this point in the Men in Black series that they’re able to take for granted the fact that most of their audience will have seen a previous installment, Men in Black I or II, and can move forward with the characters to explore new non-origin adventures. This Men in Black takes everything positive from the first two films and hits a home run with not just a fabulous new story, but exquisite visuals and a collection of engaging characters as well.

B9Creator 3D printer uses light to create stuff

, May 21st 2012 Discuss [1]

When it comes to emerging technology trends, one could very easily argue there is nothing cooler than 3D printers. The idea of using a "printer" to create things as mundane as keychains and mugs to objects as important as artificial limbs is something with which absolutely anyone can find some sort of fascination. So any new road that a company wants to pave in this emerging space is exciting, which is probably why B9Creator hit its Kickstarter funding goal in one day. Read The Full Story

These film stills show unseen elements in the soon to be released film including alien technology, close-ups of the actors in action on the various ships shown in the film, and a collection of ominous canopic jars.
