Sony has a strategy for upping the quality of its content and providing an incentive for gamers to upgrade their home entertainment systems next year, and it involves the PS3 going 3D. A presentation to investors yesterday underlined that the PlayStation 3 will be a fully 3D-capable game console by the end of 2010, and that a firmware update would share this upgrade across all existing PS3s. A few demos of PS3 3D gaming have been shown previously, but the news of an across-the-board firmware update is new. Of course, a gamer would still need a 3D-capable Bravia HDTV and glasses, the latter of which haven’t been announced yet. We’re curious how the quality will be–Nvidia’s 3D game technology, now being embedded into laptops, looks great, but requires a 120Hz monitor for fluid motion. But it’s a smart idea, if manufacturers want anyone to adopt 3D tech, to include it as a Trojan horse inside laptops and game consoles. And we hope it works on HDTVs other than specific Bravias.

Between the back to back meetings, press events and parties, the LR crew actually had some time to visit the show-floor at the 2009. You have seen some of our coverage from the floor already, but I also wanted to show you some of the products that LR traditionally does not cover. These products just happened to catch my eye, so I grabbed some pictures.

Here Real-View 3D demonstrated their entry level 3D scanner, the RealView 360 3D. When talking to their marketing reps, Real-View is gearing this particular product to the hard-core E-Bay businesses to be able to upload an animated GIF that shows a rotating 3D image of the product they are selling! Pretty cool product that I’m sure will also be fun to just show off to your friends! This product is set to be released for under $500.
