To better understand how 3D tv technology works, one must first understand how our eyes work. Our eyes are several centimeters apart from each other and therefore receive the input image from different angles. Our brain uses that information and is smart enough to mesh the two different images into one single view, creating depth, and making what we see 3 dimensional or 3D.
3D TV sets work in somewhat theewhat the way, one way or another they transmit two singular images to your eyes in a certain way that it knows your brain will convert the incoming image into 3D after processing it.
Tricking the brain in this way is no easy accomplishment, and for many years the simple and cheap technology was to use colored glasses that had a large drawback of limiting the number of colors that you could enjoy a movie in.
Today, major TV manufactures such as Sony have improved on the process that with shutter glasses the full spectrum of colors can be enjoyed. Panasonic is one of the manufactures that has now developed an auto stereoscope system that will make it possibleke it possible make 3D viewing possible without the need of uncomfortable glasses at all.
All in all, the 3D TV industry is still in its early years, but many leading companies are investing immensely into it in hopes that it will be the next big feature. If movies such as Avatar are anything to go by, the chances of success are pretty eminent. Now it is up to the industry to improve technology and make it less of a burden, reduce prices, and generate enough content through 3D games, 3D movies, 3D episodes of popular series, and 3D TV channels.

When using the PocketDAB you may become very conscious of walls and dense trees, as these regularly cause break up of the signal or even shrieking. Against a quality CD player it’s disheartening, but in comparison to Radio five Live on Medium Wave, it will make you quite happy indeed. The Sennheiser MX300 earphones are electrifying quality for a group of bundled earphones, and are actually adequate for listening to music or talk when on the go. Unlike its precedent you also now have the choice of listening to FM radio - just press the DAB / FM shortcut button on the front - but it is a last resort.
At the office, we found reception was too poor, and when we were outside we mostly decided to switch to DAB if at all possible.
Pure Digital have incorporated a battery charger in the box with the Pure PocketDAB 1500, and it took five-and-a-half hours to charge the 1500 from empty. Over the course of 2 weeks it provided around twenty hours of airplay on a single charge - very good compared to the 5 hours we generally managed to wring from the PocketDAB 1000 on its 3 chargeable NiCD batteries. As it is so like the thousand, we also predicted similar reception - not really a bad thing, as we’ve found the PocketDAB 1000 to be the best pocket digital radio for this. Having said that, as anyone that’s listened to digital radio on the train will know, it could be a nightmare - break up of signal makes you quickly reach for the off switch.

A film based on the life of Beatles manager Brian Epstein is reportedly set to be made.
According to Variety magazine, A Life in the Day, written by Tony Gottelson, will be produced by US filmmaker David Permut, who also revealed the film, would centre on the early days of the Beatles.
Epstein, who sold records at his father’s shop, Nems, in Liverpool, became the band’s manager after hearing them play at the city’s Cavern Club.
“Everybody turned down the band, even though Brian promised they would become bigger than Elvis, and he finally got George Martin at EMI to change his mind and give them an audition,” said a BBC report.
Epstein also managed other Liverpool stars in the 1960s including Cilla Black and Gerry and the Pacemakers.
Brian Epstein died in 1967, aged 32, from a sleeping pill overdose.
Liverpool singer Gerry Marsden has launched a film documenting the rise of his band The Pacemakers. Gerry and The Pacemakers greatest hits is available now.
The DVD It’s Gonna Be All Right 1963-1965 follows the band’s explosion on to the world stage with much-loved hits like How Do You Do It? and Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying.
Gerry premiered the film at The Hard Day’s Night Hotel, on North John Street, last night.
He reminisced about the early years of the British Invasion he helped spearhead along with the Beatles.
The film features original performance footage and new interviews.
