Sony promotes their new 3D TV system by putting a booth in a busy train station, showing exciting actions of the World Cup 2010. In fact, according to their press release, Sony partners with SKY PerfecTV to offer 3D broadcast of 25 matches of the FIFA World Cup. The 3D effect is indeed very impressive when showing those slow-mo goal kicks. However I do not really know if there will be plans to open a dedicated 3D channel after the World Cup.

It rotates the disposable plastic sheet cover with a couple pushes to the handle. You can visit this company to read more about the components of this system.

New Year Thoughts
After a couple weeks of radio silence due to the X’mas and new year holiday, I’m now back to my regular work and blogging and inspiration hunting business. Looking back to 2009, it was a year that seeded some long due changes that are always on my mind but never have the initiative to execute.
