3D-TV
The screen picture spring out 80-90cm from TV !!
3D-ready TV sets are those that can operate in 3D mode, in conjunction with LCD shutter glasses, where the TV tells the glasses which eye should see the image being exhibited at the moment, creating a stereoscopic image. These TV sets usually support HDMI 1.4 and a minimum (input and output) refresh rate of 120Hz; glasses may be sold separately. Mitsubishi and Samsung utilize DLP technology from Texas Instruments. As of January 2010, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, and LG all had plans to introduce 3D capabilities (mostly in higher-end models) in TVs available sometime in 2010. 3D Blu-Ray players and DirectTV broadcasts are also expected in 2010.The Chinese manufacturer TCL has developed a 42-inch LCD 3D TV called the TD-42F, which is currently available in China. This model uses a "lenticular" system and does not require any special glasses. It currently sells for approximately $20,000.

An evolutionary development of stereoscopy, autostereoscopic display technologies use optical trickery at the display, rather than worn by the user, to ensure that each eye sees the appropriate image. They generally allow the user to move their head a certain amount without destroying the illusion of depth. Automultiscopic displays include view-dependent pixels with different intensities and colors based on the viewing angle; this means that a number of different views of the same scene can be seen by moving horizontally around the display. In most automultiscopic displays the change of view is accompanied by the breakdown of the illusion of depth, but some displays exist which can maintain the illusion as the view changes.

Gesture recognition is a topic in computer science and language technology with the goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. Gestures can originate from any bodily motion or state but commonly originate from the face or hand. Current focuses in the field include emotion recognition from the face and hand gesture recognition. Many approaches have been made using cameras and computer vision algorithms to interpret sign language. However, the identification and recognition of posture, gait, proxemics, and human behaviors is also the subject of gesture recognition techniques. Gesture recognition can be seen as a way for computers to begin to understand human body language, thus building a richer bridge between machines and humans than primitive text user interfaces or even GUIs (graphical user interfaces), which still limit the majority of input to keyboard and mouse. Gesture recognition enables humans to interface with the machine (HMI) and interact naturally without any mechanical devices. Using the concept of gesture recognition, it is possible to point a finger at the computer screen so that the cursor will move accordingly. This could potentially make conventional input devices such as mouse, keyboards and even touch-screens redundant. Gesture recognition can be conducted with techniques from computer vision and image processing. The literature includes ongoing work in the computer vision field on capturing gestures or more general human pose and movements by cameras connected to a computer.

"SMELLIT"
Digital Smell Technology
Redefining the home theater experience with the sense of smell is what the SMELLIT concept is all about. Based on the idea of a DVD player, it attaches to your home theater, and gives you the aroma of what’s cooking on the TV screen, in a literal sense. The "smell CARD" of the SMELLIT decodes all the smell information and gets your head turning every time a new dish appears. The device, created by Nuno Teixeira, works like the ink jet printer, though in contrast, it houses 118 cartridges for purification instead of the ink cartridges. The SMELLIT releases the fragrance of the picture on the screen as concentrated "smell gel" that’s evenly distributed by a central fan. So, next time a chef’s cooking a meal on TV, you know how it smells if not how it tastes. As your DVD player reads the video and sound information from your favorite DVD disc, SMELLIT processes the same DVD, but the "smell CARD" decodes all the smell information from 10 to 20 seconds, depending on how far you are from the SMELLIT, ahead of the actual scene so that the odors have time to reach the spectators. After decoding the smell information, the cartridge vaporizes a very small amount of concentrated "smell gel," and the central fan distributes equally the smell in all directions. All of the 118 cartridges can be easily changed and last three times more than a regular ink cartridge, so you don't have to worry you'll run out of smells unexpectedly. Of course, this technology is only a concept for the time being, but, taking into consideration the fact that it is a great idea, it probably won't take too long until some large company invests in it and starts mass producing it. Until then, you'll just have to imagine smelling the great dishes presented on cooking channels. We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to create an email address for you to help us a little in finding gadgets we missed. Interesting links are bound to be posted with recognition going mainly to those who submit. The address is .
