Sunny Ocean 3D Display without Glasses also at CeBIT 2010 [Update]

Topic:

This is our third report from CeBIT 2010 featuring a 3D display technology that does not require glasses. Why are the new 2010 3D TVs from Sony, Samsung and others, require us to wear 3D shutter glasses again? To me it looks like there is enough auto-stereoscopic display technology out there that big consumer electronics companies could put their muscle behind now.

Singapore based Sunny Ocean offers a 3D Display that offers 3D experience from 64 perspectives in a room. This feature makes this 3D display usable by several people in the room at the same time.

WikiReader Gets Updates to Touchscreen Keypad and More

Topic:

Openmoko has announced the spring update for its interesting WikiReader device. The little gadget is a wireless device that allows you to peruse the three million searchable Wikipedia entries that are in English. The new update's most important feature is probably the improved on-screen keypad that makes finding entries on subjects easier to do.

The keypad now has animated key presses with floating keys sort of like the iPhone. Presumably, that means that when you press a key it gets larger than the others so you can tell at a glance if you hit the right key. The update also adds improvements to navigation. Read more
