The display can be connected to a PlayStation 3 for high definition 2D and 3D gaming or a blu-ray disc player for a unique cinematic experience.

All the details are available from Sony at

It should be available towards the end of the year – price currently not defined, but likely to be around the cost of a reasonable LED TV.

Do doubt, this will be a competitor for the Vuzix iWear.

Musion Eyeliner is a high definition holographic video projection system for producing 3D moving images within a live stage setting and can be used  for various live events, including audiovisual artistic performances, conference or trade show presentations, retail displays and large-scale digital signage.

http://www.musion.co.uk/

The technology is based on techniques used by Professor John Henry Pepper  for a stage illusion more than 140 years ago to create Peppers Ghost. ( The old ideas are always the best. )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper’s_ghost

The system seems to be very effective, although it may be different when seen for real.

In the past, the system, has been used by the Black Eyed Peas at the NRJ Music Awards in 2011 where 2 of the performers are holographic. You can see a video of their performance on Vimeo.

The concept of using glasses/goggles with an embedded video display to watch TV or play video games isn’t a new idea, but my interest was re-ignited when I noticed their augmented reality eye-wear … the Wrap 920AR.

These provide the equivalent of a 67-inch display as seen from 10-feet away. A stereo camera pair enables the mixing of the real world with a virtual world. Each camera capture 752×480 images at 60fps to enable a 1504×480 side-by-side image that can be viewed in 3D Sterescopic video on the eye-wear displays.

It will be interesting to see how this technology can be used.

Available in a limited quantity, early shipments retail at £1499.00 (1699 euro)

With Leonar3Do, you are able to control how you move within space – you can create and pull objects out from the monitor with the cursor.

To enjoy the benefits of virtual reality with Leonar3Do, you really only need desktop space for the palm-sized control box, a few cables and connectors. Beyond that you need some extra space for the glasses and the bird to put them down when they are out of use. That’s all.

The cylindrical unit measures 13cm in diameter and 27cm in height. It can be connected to a PC, or other device, through a digital video input port. No special glasses are needed to see the 3D image.

The display is also equipped with a gesture sensor that enables the display to be controlled interactively using hand motions.

The Dell S300wi is a short throw projector that will provide an image at a size of 24.5 ft from a distance of 10.8 ft  (or a size of 5 ft from a distance of 2.2ft away) at a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.

The projector provides wifi (b/g/n) in addition to the normal wired connections for VGA, HDMI , S-Video and composite inputs.

It also comes with a wireless pen that can work as a pen, mouse or pointing device. The pen has 3 buttons equivalent to a Left Mouse button, Right Mouse button and a 3rd button to switch between different interactive modes and a retractable nib that allows a user to “draw” on the projected image surface. It is powered by 2 AA batteries that provide up to 50 hours of usage time.

Watch it in action in the following video

and if that’s not enough …

… the S300wi is 3D ready, which actually means that it is 3D DLP-Link compatible, and with a pair of suitable active shutter glasses you can view the projected image in glorious 3D.

Scheduled for general availability in late May at a price to be announced…

Just seems remarkably similar to the PADD – Personal Access Display Device that I’d seen in the mid 1990′s (or more accurately that hails from the year 2374) as seen on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/PADD

Different versions of the PADD were available depending on your species, Klingon and Cardassian, for example, often being more angular than the Federation ones, and consisted of a large touchscreen area for entering or reading data.

How long will it be before we see the Apple iTransporter and iReplicator ?

Replicator ?

check out the Electron Beam Freeform Fabrication, or EBF3150, from NASA

… creates parts for airplanes — not food and drink — and uses an environmentally-friendly construction process to manufacture layered metal objects. This technique could revolutionize the aviation industry and may have applications for the future spacecraft and the medical community as well. It can be used to make small, detailed parts or large structural pieces of airplanes.

As it happens, I noted an (old) article in the UK Newspaper – The Independent – which describes potentially the first breakthrough using the revolutionary technology of Quantum Teleportation.
