3DTVWatcher likes a nice bit of 3D hardware, or any 3D item related item to be precise.
A 3D TV with unparalleled picture quality, 3D designer glasses, 3D Transformers helmets, and more recently indestructible 3D cameras.

The toughness in question is Olympus latest camera…

GRilli3D is set to bring 3D to the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad with a new product which will excite consumers who have an eye on 3D technology.
The technology is a simple overlay film which splits the images into two resulting in 3D viewing for users, and the technology is autostereoscopic, meaning no glasses are required to view the content.

For fans of the iPhone, or similar smart-phone, there is further engrossment to be enjoyed.
Hasbro has announced its answer to Nintendo’s 3DS with a rather unusual product.
