A new 120 fps 3D Full HD Projector Chip.
Did a little looking around regarding digital holography – this is a technology that is definitely coming in the future. And would potentially be far more desirable than stereoscopic 3D. Very interesting ….
Keep in mind that when you have “cineplex” sites with multiple screens, they typically need only equip a couple of screens. Let’s say a cineplex has 8 screens – as they are still showing a lot of 2D movies, they need only set up perhaps 1 or 2 theaters with the 3D technology.
The good news is that tonight, our Youtube viewing experience is back to the way it used to be. After a month of very slow Youtube video delivery with frequent stops and buffering, we are back tonight to playing videos as they should always play, which is, without stopping!
Somethings I learned that may or may not be helpful – when playing a video that is having problems, right click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS X) with the mouse on top of the video – a pop up menu will be displayed.
Click “Report Playback issue” to report problems to Google.
Click “Take Speed Test” – and then right click and choose “Show video info” (you can click this on any video too). At the upper right you will see some interesting data about the video and the video streaming.
The other night, I was watching this barely move along at 100 kbps to 200 kbps – and then mysteriously, very very late, it popped up to around 2 to 3 Mbps, which is more like what we ought to be seeing.
Fujifilm Reala 100 Discontinued in 120 Format.
I think B&W films will continue for a long time yet as the hobby and professional markets for B&W film, while small niche markets, will be large enough to support the far simpler chemistry of B&W film and paper. I hope.
BUT:
Panasonic currently doesn’t have plans to allow developers to create apps for its cameras but it does not rule anything for the future and will continue to evaluate the development of the connected camera market.

Arghhhhh. As a software engineer, I would really like to see software development kits for these embedded systems. Why not?
At the 2012 CES, a Nikon Field Engineer told me Nikon would not provide an SDK as it would enable 3rd party apps to potentially tarnish the Nikon camera’s quality. I said, “You mean like how iPhone apps have tarnished the iPhone?” Heh.
I couldn’t resist. He understood what I meant but said Nikon’s executive management was then opposed to opening up their cameras.
Which is funny because in August, Nikon announced an Android powered camera! And its a nice camera too!
