News on three fronts today. First, Disney Interactive has been aggressively promoting Toy Story 3 and G-Force 3D video games. There is a fair bit of controversy around this because our sources tell us they are only releasing these titles in anaglyph. See how MTBS weights in on this in our latest editorial.

Stereoscopic 3D webcams and dual webcams are starting to grow popular for S-3D gamers, and WheatstoneHolmes has put an instructional video together to explain how to make your own S-3D videos!



This is only the first version for the MTBS community, and all ideas are welcome. Share your thoughts in this discussion thread.

Last but not least, iZ3D has announced that their new experimental glasses will be ready soon. These glasses are designed to significantly cut down on cross-talk or ghosting between the eyes, and resolve any remaining color balance issues. According to Vadim Asadov, iZ3D’s VP of Marketing, each iZ3D monitor owner will get two complimentary pairs of glasses. Further announcements on timing and fulfillment are expected soon.

One more thing! Everyone make sure to wish our very own MetalQueen a happy birthday! MetalQueen runs our newsfeed, writes our movie reviews, is our camera person, and does a fair bit of web design too!

Very sorry to hear the news that Michael Jackson has passed on.

Below are parts one and two of Jackson’s "Captain EO". Produced by George Lucas and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, you can now watch Michael Jackson singing and dancing his way through the cosmos in stereoscopic 3D! The 3D is so-so due to image quality, but we think you will be entertained.





Rest in peace, Michael Jackson, and condolences go out to all friends, family, and fans.

I am very sorry to report that Syd Bolton, Curator of the Personal Computer Museum, and one of MTBS’ strongest supporters...was jailed last night.



NOT! Syd is an active member of the Brantford, Ontario (Canada) community, and this was a special fund raising event for Crimestoppers, a public awareness service to help catch bad guys. Good going, Syd! Notice that Syd is jailed with Walter Gretzky, father of "The Great One", hockey star Wayne Gretzky.

Donations to this cause can be made to:

Personal Computer Museum
13 Alma Street
Brantford, ON N3R 2G1
Canada

Or, via PayPal at sydbolton.com. Cheques and payments should be made out to "Brantford Crimestoppers".

Amongst other things, Syd does a lot of MTBS’ back-end work, and is one of the key people who makes Meant to be Seen possible.

Remember to register for MTBS Nations at War! As you advance in the game, you can win prizes! Blitz Games Studios is contributing a series of console games, Peter Wimmer is giving away two private S-3D movie player licenses, and Awater3D is giving away a silver screen and a set of passive projector filters! Very cool!
