3D Entertainment Summit – A taste of the Future?


September 21st, 2011 Art Feierman

The 3D Entertainment summit (and the adjoining mobile summit), have seen some interesting thoughts (and technology).

First of all, I sat and listened to a panel with James Cameron, who is very big on 3D (can you say Avatar…).

He and others have dazzled us with a lot of impressive numbers for 3D, and especially mentioned the rapid growth of 3D in the Read the rest of this entry »

Sharp XV-Z17000 3D Projector – A First Look Review

The Sharp XV-Z17000 looks like it's predecessor

The Sharp XV-Z17000 looks like it's predecessor

Wow, a practical 1080p home theater projector.  I set the Sharp XV-Z17000 down on the table in my theater, plugged it in, connected it to my PS3, and DirecTV box, and dropped in Alice In Wonderland in Blu-ray 3D.
