Apple thinking of 3D operating system


Apple's proposed new OS isn't just cosmetic - it looks like it will add real depth to the computer screen for the very first time.

Some features from them, including the option of piling and lining up icons and folders, 'falling' files if not placed properly on the screen and if you drag a window and icon to a particular location, it can behave in a specified way - think dropping an audio file or album onto a music player for example.

It's certainly not expected to bring the 3D model to its forthcoming Snow Leopard OS. It could be a tip for 2010 !!!!

PS3 to turn 3D in 2009?


Sony “fully intends” to introduce stereoscopic 3D technology to PS3 next year. This info comes from Blitz Games Studios, whose Blitz Tech engine is going to make it happen.
The best part is console support will only need a bios upgrade to work. The ability to add this capability via bios may be unique to Sony PS3 versus the other console solutions.

If Sony can introduce it as a standard and make 3D gaming more accessible and ubiquitous, it could dramatically help the uptake of the technology.

iZ3D’s stereoscopic technology is actually better than the big screen systems.

It doesn’t actually require any special hardware to work. All you need is an ordinary dual-output graphics card and iZ3D’s software does the rest.
