I’m not going to say too much about this article, because it is definitely worth reading in its entirety.  The story features the 71-year old Chief Executive of Xpand Inc. and the story of his office in a small Oregon town which now pulls $25-million in revenue from 3D glasses.  The best part…McNaughton’s (the Chief [...]

As we mentioned the other day, youtube.com has started a 3D channel.  Which is great, because it’s new and exciting…or is it?  Well, it is exciting, but not all that new.  It wouldn’t be right to slam Channel 4 for riding the 3D fan wave while churning out 20 year old technology if we didn’t [...]

3D tech company iZ3D put out a press-release today for their updated, passive, linear-polarized 3D glasses.  Quite frankly, I’m not sure I care so much for the names of their glasses “Duuude” and “Gordon” or the website design for their company; however, the glasses have a somewhat stylish modern look.  IZ3D primarily sells a monitor with a built in 3D [...]

There’s more evidence cropping up in the consumer world to verify that modern 3D media is positioning itself to be a part of everyday life.  If the news of Panasonic developing a prosumer 3D HD camera didn’t convince you, then a new line of trendy 3D glasses just might.  Look3D is releasing a full line [...]
