For everyone who might have missed it, Sony showed off a prototype of their glasses free 360 degree display, called Raymodeler 3D.
This is pretty cool and I can see myself having one of those (in a bigger version) in my living room 
It doesn’t only display pictures, it is also interactive and reacts to hand gestures.
I reckon it would be pretty cool to show off your products at exhibitions.

I think this is a really clever way of showing off your 3D TV – Samsung you are the future
just awesome – via businessinsider

I wish I had the time (and money) to go to CES this year, but thankfully all my favourite tech sites were covering it very well.
So looking at all the new gadgets coming out I thought I share my favourites with you – they are in no particular order
1. The transparent laptop screen – Samsung 14 inch Transparent OLED
2. HP Slate tablet – Apple is meant to do it – MS and HP have done it
3. A.R Drone – a Quadcopter controlled by your iPhone (we mentioned it here already)
4. liquid Image HD snow goggles and underwater goggles – all you need for your own discovery movies
5. Peregrine Glove Game controller
6. LBO Light Touch – have an interactive surface on any surface (we mentioned it here already)
7. Finally some USB 3.0 products – superspeed here we come
8. PlasticLogic Que Pro eBook reader/tablet – very sexy
9. Project Natal – can’t wait to connect this to my Xbox360
10. Zyxio Sensawaft – move your cursor with your breath
something additional – these didn’t quite make it into my top 10, but are still pretty cool
The instant Camareas are back – non digital – Polaroid makes a comeback with the Polaroid Pic 1000
Lenovo bringing out a phone
Panasonic 152 inch 3D TV and wireless HDMI transfer
MSI Dual screen multitouch tablet

The MIT Lab has shown off a new kind of display that not only is capable of the usual multitouch functions, but also recognizes gestures in front of the device like we know from minority report.
Pretty cool I say – still a bit slow in the video, but already pretty awesome for a prototype.

The Cambridge University Engineering Department developed ProForma.
ProFORMA (which stands for ‘Probabilistic Feature-based On-line Rapid Model Acquisition’) is some cool system that turns any ordinary webcam into a powerful 3D scanning tool.
The 3D models are constructed on the spot while you slowly rotate the objects.
As the user rotates the object in front of a stationary camera, a partial model is reconstructed and displayed to the user to assist view planning. The model is also used by the system to robustly track the pose of the object. Models are rapidly produced through a Delaunay tetrahedralisation of points obtained from on-line structure from motion estimation, followed by a probabilistic tetrahedron carving step to obtain a textured surface mesh of the object.
Pretty cool I say – check out the video

Fractal lovers, brace yourselves. Here you will find some awesome pictures of the 3D Mandelbrot, “Mandelbulb”. Infinite awesome, on infinite levels. Here are four of the more impressive perspectives:

Some years in the making, this 3d line drawing tool looks pretty amazing. Click on the image or view the video here.

No it’s not an amazing bit of new cool technology, it’s just Sara Watson’s art project – and we totally love it!

Reminds me of Julian Beever’s 3D chalk work below (here). Maybe Sarah will become the street artist who makes things “invisible”…?

The real world and virtual world are gradually blurring together. Fooling the human mind into not being able to separate these two worlds is still a challenge because our brains are pretty hard wired to spot incredibly subtle details that allow us to identify the fakes from reality, especially when computer graphics are in motion. At some point in the not too distant future it is likely that we will not be able to tell. Can we really trust what our eyes are telling us?
Spotting the difference is harder with still images. Can you tell which ones of these are real and which are fake*? Answers at the bottom or on rollover.
Take the test: Real or FAKE:
