It’s not too often that I make a tech prediction that actually comes true, although like many people, I prefer to think I’m better at it than I really am. Still, when one does come out as I foretold I am not immune to rubbing my hands with glee and smiling with a cheeky grin, which is exactly what happened with the recent demise of 3D television.

3DTV hasn't taken off the way the TV and Movie industries hoped it would, but institutes like the MIT Media Lab are getting closer to developing displays that have the 3D effect and don't require glasses, which is one of the big grievances of naysayer. But would you join the ranks of the 3DTV faithful if you didn't need specs, or do you think the technology in general is frivolous? [via The Creators Project] Read More >>

Let me preface this by saying: I’m a jaded tech writer. Sadly there aren’t many things that genuinely impress me these days, and that definitely includes current 3D technology. I'm telling you all of this so you'll know how deadly serious I am when I say the following line: this no-name 3D technology has blown me away. It's the 3D that the big players should have given us years ago. No glasses; no flicker; no blurriness; no fixed focal planes forcing your eyes to focus here or there (that’s what causes headaches); just a convincing illusion of 3D without the hassle. Read More >>

Stop the clocks! Call off the dogs! Close all the windows and hide under a table! No, it’s not a nuclear attack from the Russians, but something altogether more sinister. The price of portable memory is becoming so low as to almost be ridiculous. Read More >>
Toshiba's 55-inch glasses-free ZL2 3DTV is going to be popping up in John Lewis' Oxford Street store from next Monday, the company just confirmed. At several grand (just under £7,000) you're going to have to be pretty serious about your 3DTV -- glasses-less 3DTV at that -- to whack that kind of cash down, but there you go. Glasses-less 3DTV! Whoo? Read More >>
Glasses free 3D TV sounds crazy because, well, that would look a whole lot like real life. This newest Sony incarnation feels closer than ever — almost like Sony might actually one day Lasek our experience of the 3D TV. Read More >>
Looks like 2012 will be the closest thing we've had to the year of the OLED—real products with serious screen size. Like Samsung's "Super OLED," offering 55 inches of mega-rich colour and brightness. Bonus: Kinect-esque body tracking, too. Read More >>
At least one more company thinks you're going to like Google TV: LG's LMG860 and LMG620 not only pack the company's own "smart TV" software, but the more polished Android-y dashboard as well. That's two ways to channel surf smart. Read More >>
There's a raft of new 3DTVs out from LG, and they've all got one thing in common: the acknowledgement that the third dimension has been pretty lame so far. Not lame? Depth control, passive glasses, and dual-view multiplayer gaming potential. Read More >>

HDTV is cool, I guess, but it's going to be hard to go back after looking at LG's ultra-def 4k display, which packs four times the pixels as a 1080p set. It's mind-bogglingly crisp and enormously... enormous. Second mortgage time! Read More >>
If you have over £7,000 and a hunger for ludicrously high definition TVs, Toshiba's impending 55-inch predator is gunning for your wallet and cranium. 4k resolution is more spec candy than anything, but glasses-free 3D? Yes please. Read More >>

Online console gaming is the status quo, but nothing will ever usurp the joys of throwing your controller in disgust, cursing, and punching your friends in the arm during couch multiplayer. Sony has a magical, magical reinvention of offline competition. Read More >>
I'm already living the Philip K. Dick life. I've got the communicator, the tablet computer, the everywhere-Internet. All I need now is a deadly government conspiracy and an immersive 3D environment that lets me jack in and walk around. Read More >>
