Some rumor sites have said that an upcoming Panasonic Lumix GH-3 camera will feature its own custom software platform as well, enabling third parties to add additional capabilities to the camera. Just a rumor.

3D ecosystem needs quality 3D content

3D TVs themselves are no longer a hot topic at Berlin’s IFA Consumer Electronics Fair. Instead, customers now are more interested in bringing quality 3D movies to the home entertainment systems in their living rooms.

“For the most part, it’s disastrous rubbish. More than half are fraud and creepy. On the whole they are not stacked up to what they are supposed to be.”

Wow – Flying over America

2 Comments

A few pieces are computer generated but otherwise just “Wow!”

Correction! The entire video is computer generated. Produced by Yessian Music, an international group of composers and performers, and Studio 78, based in Los Angeles on the CGI. They did another one called Flight of the Dragon which is a similar idea, but over China. Both are used as part of a theme park exhibit in China.
