Toshiba finally unveils glasses-free 3D TV

Toshiba has, after months of development, released what it claims are the first 3D television sets that do not require special glasses, reports BBC.

The two sets are able to create 3D effects in real-time from standard film and television pictures. The televisions use a special lenticular sheet to create an array of nine overlapping images.

A viewer sees different images with each eye, creating the illusion of a 3D picture. The system is similar to that used in the Nintendo 3DS handheld console.

Panasonic has introduced the MW-20 digital photo frame that doubles as a stereo sound system, with iPod Touch and iPhone compatibility, states Twice.

The MW-20, a slim multimedia system, also charges the Touch or iPhone while it is connected to the cradle. The Panasonic MW-20 features a nine-inch screen and advanced audio technology, the company says.

Sound is supported by a 5.6mm Super Slim Semi Dome Speaker system and a diffuser that optimises the sound.

Damaka, a technology pioneer in mobile unified communications and collaboration (UCC), has introduced Volga, a scalable solution that streams video from and to any smartphone or browser, over any network, including WiFi, 3G and 4G, says PR Newswire.

By 2014, over 90% of IP traffic will be video. As users create and share increasing quantities of video for both personal and business use, Volga is the ideal platform to record, manage and share this new flood of video content, says the company.

The Volga platform features a media server capable of performing live streaming of audio and video media content. Volga says it offers media life cycle management technology capable of capturing, managing, publishing and viewing digital media in a variety of formats, with the ability to automatically upload selected content to YouTube and Facebook.
