When James Cameron needed a helping hand with the production of Avatar he called in Panasonic's 3D playback gear. Panasonic believes that heavy 3D involvement with Hollywood has given the consumer electronics giant a significant advantage when it comes to producing consumer-friendly 3D kit.

Backgrounder: Introduction to 3D Perception
3D Radar - Fri, 11/06/2010 - 3:48pmAs humans, our consciousness is dominated by visual impression, and for centuries we have been trying to capture and reproduce the three dimensional world of our reality.

But how exactly does 3D perception work? read more »
