Football World Cup, Porn to Drive 3D Technologies

| by tech2 News Staff |

Porn producers, known for taking advantage of new technologies, are gearing up to release a slew of 3D movies just as the first 3D TVs, being shipping to homes in the US and Europe. Most major consumer electronics firms from Sony, Samsung, LG, Toshiba and Panasonic demoed 3D TVs. Manufacturers will start shipping them in advance of the football world cup to be heald in South Africa, as that is the first sporting event that will be shot and telecast in 3D.  

However, the porn industry seems to be moving even faster. An exhibitor at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, held along with CES, sold a $US3999 kit that includes a Mitsubishi 60-inch 3DTV, two pairs of 3D glasses and a tiny PC that is used to stream the 3D films from the web. Several hours of porn are shot using 3D cameras and uploaded to the site every week. It can be accessed for $US19.95 a month. Producer Lance Johnson said he would start selling stand-alone 3D porn discs later this year once 3D TVs start to hit the market.  

In the US, Fox Sports, Discovery and others have announced 3D channels and plan to air live action sports and other content on them. While 3D technology has been around for a while, its mass acceptance seems to be driven by the super success of Avatar.

 7.0

We’ve already established that the Lumia 720 is Nokia’s best effort as far as Windows Phone 8 handsets go. This could soon change once the Lumia 925 hits markets, but as it stands now, the Lumia 720 offers the best blend of features and performance, wrapped in a beautiful package that’s quite affordable.
