This Day:

Toshiba announced a new technology that allows 3D images on a flat-screen display, without the need of any special goggles. The technology will be marketed for video arcades by end of 2006, and for consumer appliances (televisions etc.) by 2010. The 3D displays have small lenses in front of each pixel, allowing different images to be seen depending on the point of view. That way, different images are sent to different viewpoints, thus creating a 3D effect. The technology will be displayed at the 1st International FPD Expo in Tokyo next week.

Drinks, anyone? (Courtesy: GeekBlue)
In the real world, we are able to see true 3D (which includes depth perception), since our two eyes get slightly different images. Also the brain enhances our perception, by using past memories/experiences. 3D goggles operate on the same principle, by supplying slightly different images to the two eyes.
The prototype 3D screens (15.4-inch 480x400 pixels, and 24-inch 480x300 pixels) use 12 or 16 slightly different views of the same object or scene. The different views are then processed, and projected onto the lens in front of the pixels, which sends slightly different scenes in different directions. Currently, the technology only supports pictures, but Toshiba will soon extend it to videos, both real/live and computer-generated.
This technology promises to revolutionize gaming, as it is simple, and yet manages to give a much more immersive experience :):).

I love 2D games... esp. the old prince of persia I and II!! I think 2D games leave a lot to your imagination, and therefore are more capable to take you to the world of fantasy and mystery.

Dont sleep! You will get kicked out one of these days :D:D:D:D.

I used javascript to implement that. You can check out my page source code, and look for the javascript function calls (search for script type="text/javascript"). The javascript functions are stored in MyJavaCode.js, a javascript file I have written.

WD: You can visit this page and get the feels for javascript. Perhaps you can also see my code and then it will be easier. Do you know C, or C++ languages? If yes, javascript will be a breeze.

If you have problems, let me know. I will just cut out the relevant portions of my code, and give you instructions :-).

Heyyyyyyyyy Lemna, just joking :-):-):-). You have a good rest, and hope to see you soon :-).

oops didnt write, Thanks a Ton:)

WD: You can open a .js file in any text editor (notepad will do). Umm, if you dont know C/C++, it might be hard, but try a little bit, and if it doesny work, let me know.

And dont worry abt. thanking :-).
