Get your 3D glasses ready for the Super Bowl.
Checkout the details at this site. The 2009 Super Bowl commerical lineup will include a 3D ad sponsored by Pepsi.
The technology uses a new technique from Intel called InTru 3D and ColorCode 3-D. it supposedly improves the visual display and eliminates the headaches caused by those old analglyphic red/blue glasses techniques.
Where do you get these glasses? Almost all supermarkets that have the SoBe display. Target will have them on January 31st. Or you can call 1-800-646-2894.
The commercial will be shown sometime before the end of the first half. The stars of the commercial will include the SoBe Lizards and characters for the upcoming Dreamworks movie "Monsters vs. Aliens" DreamWorks will produce all of its feature films using this InTru 3D technology beginning in 2009.
Save the glasses after the game. NBC will air a special episode of "Chuck" that will use the 3D glasses also.
3D will be making a push into the consumer market over the next few years. I'll talk more on 3D changes coming to the entertainment industry - and ultimately for business.
But if you really want to learn about cool things to do now in MicroStation in 3D, see Keith Bentley's talk at the V8i announcement. Better surface manipulation, dynamic views, georeferencing, luxology rendering and more.
My bet is both the 3D features in V8i and the 3D Superbowl commericals will be at the top of everyone's list of cool things to see.
