A Kinect 3D screen anyone? 3DTVwatcher knew we had you at Kinect.
In more detail, Microsoft revealed its 3D desktop vision brought to life during the TechForum. It used Samsung’s transparent OLED screen along with the Kinect sensors. Bundling all of those together resulted in a mean 3D desktop which a user can control by hand gestures.
While 3DTVwatcher understands that this is just a prototype, we’re still in awe over the depth of the 3D effect, it almost looks like a hologram. Very futuristic indeed.

The ye olde ways of using plastic and plasters when recreating ancient fossils are long gone – 3D is the solution these days.
The University of Drexel has yesterday shared the details on its planned venture with the tridimensional format. It plans to use 3D printing to recreate the structure of the bones which once belonged to long-gone dinosaurs.
The project will make a further step too – based on the tridimensional models of skeletons, the researchers plan to build miniatures of gigantic dinos that once roamed…

3DTVwatcher has a treat for horror fans, especially those who are into Japanese flicks. A new film, somewhat of a sequel to jaw-droppingly scary The Ring, is in the works, this time in glorious 3D.

Horror-Movies.ca has reported that the film is placed 13 years after what happened…

3DTVwatcher has spoken to a lot of 3D TV owners discussing the pros and cons of the tridimensional format.
Most were not against the fact that viewing content in 3D was more of an event rather than a ye olde casual TV-watching experience. But what everyone seemed to mind was that there was not enough content to justify the handsome price tag that comes along with 3D televisions.
Of course, viewers got an amazing 3D documentary from time to time – but consumers deemed it was not…
