3D Queen

Nope, not a concert DVD but our very own Majesty. The Queen has been over in Canada and put on a pair of designer 3D glasses to watch a film along with hubby Prince Philip. One does not look amused. Caption anyone?

You can’t show off the 3D effects of your new handheld system on a big screen, so what do you do? DO a Crimewatch style reconstruction of course. What an odd E3.

Is 3D gaming the future?

OKso last night I got a chance to play around a bit with the Alienware OptXTM AW2310 3D moniter, (snappy name) courtesy of Dell UK. 3D is something that seems to be dividing the entertainment industry – Sky are placing some pretty heavy bets on it’s success, and after the flood of 3D televisions being shown at CES, it’s clear that whether we like it or not, it’s going to be forced down our throats over the next few years.

The monitor I was allowed to play with was very impressive indeed. 3D is hard to talk about because it is in essence such a visual experience, but the best I can do is to describe the experience as much deeper than I imagined. Today’s fancy-schmancy 3D doesn’t concern itself with popping out the screen, like some horrible fairground ride from 1995, but rather it extends the image inwards. Nothing appeared to fly at my face, but my vehicle (I was playing a racing game) genuinely felt like it was closer to me than the car just in front. Read More »

Newsgush: Star Wars 3D on the cards, says Lucas

FUN FACT: Did you know that in Phantom Menace most of the shots of Yoda were a puppet? Don’t worry though, those shots were re-done in CG for the new trilogy re-release. Yup.

On an unrelated note, Star Wars fans must once again brace for impact, as according to an interview with Access Hollywood (and received by ‘leccyspectre via Pocket Lint) Lucas has been inspired by Avatar to give Star Wars a three dimensional make-over.

“We’ve been looking for years and years and years of trying to take ‘Star Wars’ and put it in 3-D,” George explained to Access. “But, [the] technology hasn’t been there. We’ve been struggling with it, but I think this will be a new impetus to make that happen.”

Star Wars in 3D would be pretty sweet. However, many fans will be concerned that Lucas decides to do a little bit of extra tampering “whilst we’re here, y’know” and gives Boba Fett a supersoaker or something.

Thoughts?
