Saturday, October 31st, 2009Zalman Trimon 3D Monitor
Friday, October 30th, 2009Do you want to bring 3D display technology to your home, but you don’t quite feel like employing one of those giant headsets? The Zalman Trimon LCD monitor is an excellent solution to your problem!
The Trimon uses circular polarisation technology to bring 3D display to the desktop. This means that you will get to wear ultra stylish glasses while enjoying the 3D experience. :) Circular polarisation is also used in RealD cinemas (see also the RealD Wikipedia page), which means that the RealD Cinema Eyewear works with this monitor.
The Trimon monitor can of course also operate in a 2D mode. Being a 22″ wide screen monitor with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050, it is most definitely welcome on my desk for general use. :)
Once you have experienced gaming in 3D, you will never want to go back! Do keep in mind that you will need a reasonably good graphics card to render at twice the normal frame rate at the monitor’s native resolution. But it is worth every cent!
Helmet Radar
Thursday, October 29th, 2009And in defence related tech news, it seems the US Army has developed a helmet mounted radar system to aid troops in the field. Now all they need to add is that retro beeping from ‘Aliens’ :). More details available here: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/10/army-develops-helmet-mounted-radar-to-watch-soldiers-backs/
HP Interactive Displays
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Imagine a 42″ LCD display on your desk. Imagine that it is 1920 x 1080p full HD. Now stretch your imagination just a little bit further to make it a multi-touch display…
The new HP 4200tm LCD interactive display promises to deliver all of this when released in December!
