JAPANESE COMPUTER MANUFACTURER NEC has announced that it will be releasing a 3D personal computer this autumn.
The prototype of the 3D PC was shown off yesterday and it allows users to see 3D images by wearing special glasses. It will go on sale in Japan by the end of September.
NEC had a go at 3D computers for the domestic market in 2004 but was forced to pull out because there was sod all software available to take advantage of it.
However now it thinks that with electronics manufacturers releasing 3D flat-screen TVs it will give it another go.
NEC's 3D computer uses software to convert two-dimensional photographs or movies into 3D images, and includes a media player for 3D visual software and TV programs.
We guess it is hoping that the Internet porn industry will find 3D to be the killer application it has been waiting for. We can't immediately see how 3D is the sort of thing that you could use at work, but then againg we might be wrong about that.
The press release fails to mention price or if NEC will market its 3D PC in other countries. µ
What's with all the typo's on this site??
Ya can't take an extra second and spell check your articles before publishing?
YA GREAT 3D PRON ...But will my safety goggles fit over the 3D glasses ??????????
The Porn industry already did try 3D glasses in the 90", with a very pricy device and bad vhs movies. But I like the idea of having a woman ass right in my face.
That said, the 3d glasses are still a bad gimmick, with a poor image effect. I am not buying it. If that can save the cinema industry, let it be...but that won't come in my home in this shape.
...did the fabulously profitable internet porn industry need a killer application?
