Vector One links to 3Dsolar 3D displays and wonders about the applications in the geospatial discipline. From the manufacturer's website: "3Dsolar display devices are set to revolutionize the way people enjoy multimedia content both at work and at home. This latest innovation finally brings the dream to reality. Without requiring special glasses, you will see objects suspended inches in front of your screen with the ability to rotate 360 degrees around them."

New Matrox TripleHead2Go External Upgrade 5 comments

Serge Bohdjalian writes "Montreal, Canada, March 2, 2006 -- Matrox Graphics Inc. announces TripleHead2Go™, an external upgrade that adds support for using 3 monitors at a time. The easy-to-install unit simply connects to the monitor output of a computer. The operating system treats TripleHead2Go like a monitor supporting resolutions 3 times as wide as standard resolutions and TripleHead2Go uses Matrox patent-pending technology to divide the monitor output from the computer into 3 separate displays. The displays respectively show the left, center, and right portions of this "monitor". This announcement follows the recent introduction of DualHead2Go™, the world's first multi-display upgrade of this type." The rest of the press release is copied below.
Impending Massive 3-D Mashups
[+]
GeoPlace discuss the impending massive 3D mashups. From the interesting article: "A key aspect will be interoperability in nomenclature and structures, but much effort also is needed in semantics and ontologies to make this possible. Those dealing with 3-D geospatial information should be aware of some key standards, specifications and data schemas. [...] GeoWorld readers are, understandably, most concerned with the geospatial element of the 3-D developments, but they can only be fully understood when looking across the range of technologies, such as machine vision, gaming, visualization, laser scanning and others."
Application Domains: Virtual Reality Geographic Information Systems
[+]
All Points Blog links to a article on a lab focusing on Virtual Reality Geographic Information Systems at West Virginia Univerty (some screenshots). From the article: "The technology is extremely versatile and connected to far more than desktop computers. It allows users to share location-based information and to communicate freely between smart phones, laptops, desktop PCs, PDAs, tablets and browsers. [...] The FLEX creates the illusion of a three-dimensional world where people can navigate through cyberspace landscapes with a remote control while easily getting, creating and working with information."
Dynamic Stereoscopic Viewing in Google Earth 1 comment
[+]
The Google Earth Blog introduces a commercial tool to allow dynamic stereoscopic viewing in Google Earth. From the entry's introduction: "A few months ago, Google Earth Blog wrote about some attempts to produce some basic anaglyphic (red-blue glasses required) stereoscopic screenshots so you could see "3D" in Google Earth. However, imagine being able to move Google Earth dynamically and see everything in stereoscopic 3D. Well, you don't have to imagine anymore!"
