You have to be extremely quick to bag a world's first in the technology industry. No sooner had Asus announced what it thought was the world's first glasses-free 3D laptop, the G53SX, Toshiba also announce its – with the hook being that it will actually be out before Asus' effort.
The Qosmio F750 3D laptop offers up 3D without glasses and it primarily aimed at movie buffs and gamers.
Toshiba showed off the laptop to a select few technology journalists in London this week, and hailed it as "the evolution of 3D".
I'm standing before a cinema screen some 13m tall. Avatar is playing in 3D; Jake Scully has just landed on Pandora. But this is no regular movie screening. One half of the image is coming from a 3D Blu-ray disc, the other from the original digital source material. The Blu-ray is being played on a domestic player through a digital cinema projector. Astonishingly, there appears to be no discernable difference between the two sides. read more »

If you're looking to buy a 3D TV, making that big decision is a good deal more complicated than it was this time last year.
That's because there are now two competing 3D technologies which do the same job: Active Shutter and Passive Polarisation. But how do they compare and which 3D tech will work best for you?
Here we weigh up the pros and cons of Active Shutter vs Passive 3D TV.
Active Shutter 3D: How it works, pros and cons
Active Shutter technology is exclusively supported by Panasonic, Samsung and Sony. All offer a wide range of screen sizes designed to work with Active Shutter glasses. read more »
Asda must have stumbled upon a box of unsold phones in its warehouse - that's the only reason we can think of for the decision to shift the HTC Evo 3D for not much dosh.
The first tri-dimensional phone never really got the success its next-gen innards warranted in the UK, with disappointing sales thanks to a sky high price tag. read more »
LG is lining up two big feature handsets for launch at MWC 2012, as it tries to make in-roads early on in the smartphone market this year.
The LG X3 is first up, storming in with its quad-core processor and huge 4.7-inch screen and the LG CX2, which will attempt to win us over to life in the third dimension. read more »
Actor Nick Nolte has claimed that 3D technology causes 'psychotic breaks' in an odd rant at the launch of his new television show.
While most of the chat at the Television Critics Association event was reserved for the growing trend to move from film to TV for major players, Nolte reserved a little bile for 3D. read more »
James Cameron may have teased us with the thought of Avatar sequels in 2013 and 2014, but producer Jon Landau has revealed that we shouldn't be holding our breath – with the 3D classic not getting its next episode until 2016.
Speaking at a screening of Titanic 3D, Landau confessed that a sequel is 'four years away', which means we will have waited a massive seven years from the first film, although Avatar 3 may well be filmed at the same time and screened a year later. read more »
Toshiba has unleashed its first full HD 3D camcorder in the shape of the Toshiba Camileo Z100.
Not only can the camcorder capture dazzling (apparently) 3D, but it can also play it back on the 7.1cm glasses-free 3D touchscreen. Now that's multi-tasking.
The dual lens system also offers 8x digital zoom, full HD 2D capture (1920 x 1080 at 30fps) and can take still pictures up to 16MP.
The two CMOS image sensors are 5MP quality with back side illumination to boot. read more »

Few TV brands have had as busy a 12 months as Toshiba. Not content with launching its biggest television range for years last April, Toshiba even managed to squeeze in a 'round two' of telly launches right at the end of 2011. And heading up this second raft of TVs is the TL868 series, as represented here by the 46-inch Toshiba 46TL868B. read more »
Bang & Olufsen has taken to CES 2012 to reveal its latest 3D TV in the form of the B&O BeoVision 12-65.
The company describes the 65-inch plasma screen as "ultra flat" which left us wondering how flat its predecessors were until we realised it means "very thin indeed" combined with "an optical illusion" involving the aluminium speaker housing.
It's intended to sit on the wall rather than a stand, so the wall bracket comes partly integrated into the set itself, adding to the ultra flatness of the thing. read more »
LG's latest batch of 3D TVs comes with a bezel of just one millimetre as the home entertainment industry continues to strive towards a bezel-less world at CES 2012.
Following Samsung's 2011 lead, LG has scythed the bezel down to a frankly outrageous 1mm width. For comparison, Samsung's 60D8000 LED Smart TV has a 1.5cm border. read more »
Toshiba plans to launch the first glasses-free 3D TV set in the United States by the end of Q1 2012, reports have confirmed.
The company told CNET that the set will be similar to the 55LZ2 device already on sale in Europe and Japan.
That 55-inch device, which was launched at IFA 2011, boasts a 4K resolution of 3,840 x 2,160, however viewers can only watch 3D pictures at 1280 x 720. read more »
