The greatest hit of 2009 was undoubtedly ‘Avatar’. Its 3D effects will be remembered for ages. Honestly, I was also blown off by the wonderful 3D effects. If you have been dreaming of bringing home a 3D camcorder then you can take a look at the Panasonic’s twin-lens Full HD 3D camcorder unveiled at the CES 2010.

This special camcorder looks ultra snazzy from every angle. I could hardly take my eyes off it the minute I gazed at it. However, the Full HD 3D camcorder comes with a whopping price tag of $21k, which might cause a great hole in your pockets. But hold your breath, Panasonic promises that it is a lot cheaper than the most pro-level 3D camcorders.

May be Panasonic isn’t lying about the prize tags but unless you are planning to make your own blockbuster “Avatar”, it will be a wise idea to check out the prize tags of other professional 3D camcorders as well. However, it would be real fun to actually get hands on this sophisticated camcorder and get started with you own ‘Avatar’ and see for real what it takes to make a 3D movie.

One person who will always remain larger than life, even in death, is pop legend Michael Jackson. The world has seen him rock  them with his music, dance, charisma and eccentricities. We have seen how hard his fans are trying to keep his memory alive, and frankly, we do not have a single doubt in their effort. His clothes and CDs were auctioned. In fact, he also earned a documentary ‘This Is It’ which saw packed houses for everyone wanted to see MJ in his last days, preparing for his much awaited comeback that sadly never happened.

Well, now it is a 3D version of the singer that has got everyone to sit up and take notice. Truth is that when alive, Jackson had taken 3D scans of his body with a hope to build a virtual reality body double for himself. And this very 3D scan data has been put on sale on eBay by an anonymouse person from the US with a claim that these belong to the 37 year old MJ of 1996.

The price is huge at $1.5 M but if the details are to be believed then this data can create an MJ who will speak, laugh, sing and even dance for you. The data was gathered by using the same equipment which ceates data for video games and realted stuff. Is this it? We are wondering.

We like technology being utilised to bring us new pleasures of luxury. U.S Submarines too seems to be a believer of that what with the launch of a whole new range of cool under water vehicles that will impress you with their aesthetics and technical superiority. Marketed under the tag of Personal Luxury Subamarines, these subs have been constructed by using Ashler’s suite of programs like Graphite and Cobalt. Apparently, there was a blatant refusal to use PCs and AutoCAD over Mac.

We are not complaining because the effort definitely was outlandish, in a very positive way. These hi-tech subs seem to be coming straight out of an Austin Powers film. We do not mean the vivacious color themes but dreamy is more like it. There is a lounge, an impressive bedroom that gives you a great view of the surroundings complete with luxurious corridors.

It is indeed a great feeling to realise that the best in technology has been used to prepare this little feat. The 3D creations have been working quite well so far. But we do hope that they finally hit the waters too. Now, that will be a real proud moment.

SpacePilot Pro has been launched by 3D Connections. The device is similar to the Space Pilot and SpaceExplorer 3D mice and hence come with awesome features that you cannot expect in an ordinary mouse. The new version comes with a color LCD screen which has applets that are similar to the iPhone. It will also help you use applications like Outlook E-mail, Calendar Events and Tasks.

The idea is to let the user use the mouse without getting distracted and everything would be available in the mouse only. This scientifically advanced mouse features a number of specifications and options and I would say, I couldn’t have imagined all these features on a mouse. The idea is based on a jet fighter’s pilot’s control.

They don’t have the luxury to remove their hands and likewise, you never have to remove your hands from the mouse, if you use it properly. There is no information about price or availability.

Seekway has put jointly this impressive 3D LED display that has a potential to exhibit images in full 3D at a startling, 30 fps. The sample comprises of a 16 x 16 x 16 network of unified tint LEDs and if calculated accurately then it produces 4096 individual diodes. I am sure it is going to win your heart and mind but believe me a small visit to the video is worth.

Having productively created the aforesaid model, Seekway has plans to enter the mechanism into fabrication, but they’re in a mood to beef up things—by saying you can start imagining a cube equipped with 48 x 48 x 48 grid of interrelated LEDs resonance. It sounds like 11,000 diodes but with no price information available it is difficult to say whether the product is worth picking or is just hyped up.
