3D @ CES 2010 Las Vegas

Post by dawman »

3D was the big hype at the show, almost as big as Lady GaGa jamming and enticing everyone.
Anyways 3D LCD glasses have driven down the price of the 2D LCD glasses to a price point of consumer grade.
Can you imagine being a performer, having JHAudio IEM's, and a pair of Glasses where your LCD can appear and disappear by a simple hot key or MIDI CC...?
The glasses will be light so you can actually tame down the brightness of all of the stage lighting, but you can have your DAW pop up in the glasses by a command, and actually have a small wireless QWERTY on your controller to control everything live in the visual mode.
The IEM's can easily be worn simultaneously.
Now that my rig can be carried in a laptop gigbag I need something other than the little 8 x 4" LCD I was thinking of buying.
I will also upgrade and buy the back-pack Infinite Response VAX77 since they have worked on their PC editor which means that can be controlled via the LCD glasses instead of its tiny worthless LCD.
What a cool dream that would be.
Put all of my rig on my back and drive the bike to the bus stop, then to the gig where I haven't needed my Barbettas. I would only need to drive to gigs where I need my powered cabs.
What a great promo for the IEM dev, S|C, Infinite Response and Sony......
The wireless mobile keyboard warrior............I now have another goal to keep me dreaming for the next year.

Let your mind go wild thinking up of projectable touchable controllers using Sixth Sense technology :)

These are cool....
I was at the Future Entertainment Show at Earls Court London in 1999 and tried on a pair of monitor glasses which used a prisim to the side of the right eye to project an lcd 50" display. I thought the technology was very neat. I would like to have a pair of these light weight glasses but have never seen them as a commercial product only the weighty and cumbersome lcd equivalent. Much of what was at the show has only recently come to commercial retail sector eg the high contrast small screen lcd displays but I still haven't seen the TV's with projectors which rise out of the top of them or the tv made ofa pearlescent film sheet which could be rolled up!
If you have any links to light weight monitor glasses which can be a viable replacement for monitors I'd appreciate the link.
Cheers

Isn't this the idea behind Project Natal - the new Xbox 360 controller? But it sure does go beyond that idea somewhat.

Can't wait until they implement eye-tracking technology at a reasonable price like the heads-up-displays on F16's.

Yeah my bro's still in Osaka and has been in Asia since COMPUTEX. He says some folks walk around connected to iPad's via LCD glasses and audio.
That means we'll see it within 6 months.
Japan doesn't have the same restirctions us " free " Americans have. I came back from Japan a full 9 months ahead of everyone w/ a TX816/KX88 and QX-1.
Back in 2005 I brought back the wireless HDD for a friend who uses it to walk around the local studios while downloading their bid sheets in XML.....6 months ahead of Fryes.
