But to our delight, a new 3D tech is coming to the market. And the latest 7-inch TV has the Nintendo 3DS like screen got much attention recently. Besides, the audience could enjoy the program without any eyeglasses with the help of this new technology.

This new TV set adopts parallax barrier which is fixed to a commercial LCD panel so as to allow the viewer to see the 3D images. By dividing the LCD image into repeating segments, the viewer could see the pictures as the ordinary ones.

Before the new 3D technology, it is essential to put on the heavy 3D glasses during the film, as they will feed different images into your eyes, and then the brain correlate the two images together. With the help of the magic 3D glasses, the movie or television you are watching look like the real scene just happening in front of you.

The Samsung UE40C7000 3D Television

2010 is the year of the 3D televisions and the first 3D television to reach the UK is from Samsung in the form of the Samsung ue40c7000 3D led television.

So what is a 3D television and is it worth buying a 3D television and how well will 3D adapt to the home viewing environment?

If you have watched any on the new range of 3D films at the cinema such as Avatar, Disney's Christmas Carol or Alice in Wonderland you will know how much this new version of 3D has changed since the last 3D films of the late eighties with movies like Jaws3D in which you had the plastic red and green plastic lens glasses.

Avatar has become the highest grossing movie ever and alot of this has to do with the amazing way this film was shot in 3D.

Sky television here in the UK and ESPN in the US have already started releasing sports games in 3D at selected pubs and venues and the feedback has been amazing, so good in fact that sky will be bringing out it's own 3D channel in April of 2010, but to watch the sky 3D channel you will need a 3D television.

The Samsung UE40C7000 is the first 3d television to be released and one of the great features of this Samsung TV is that you don't have to adopt 3D straight away. The ue40c7000 works just as well as a standard HD LED TV and you can add on the extra 3D features such as the glasses at a later date.

A great feature of this television is that it will also upscale regular 2d pictures into 3D, of course this doesn't look anywhere near as good as a true 3D source but it is a nice extra and will make more use of the 3d features until more content is available in the future.

The ue40c7000 is a LED edge-backlit LCD set and it is incredibly thin, at only 27mm deep, Samsung have really done ana amazing job of fitting so much technology into this television and keeping it so thin and light.

One of the great added features that Samsung have also included with this 3dtv is the ability to have SCART adaptors which was one of the main downsides to the 2009 7 series and series 8 models, but this TV is so thin that Samsung have developed special SCART adaptors that are connected via HDMI add-ons.

I have to admit that I was blown away by the 3D movies like Avatar and I have also got to watch the England vs Wales match in 3D on the new Sky 3D service and I have to say that 3D is here to stay and will change the way we view blockbuster movies and sporting events. Don't forget that this technology is brand new and will only get even better over time. With regards to the Samsung UE40C7000 3D enabled television set, it is worth buying even if you don't care about 3D yet, just by the standard set without the 3D add-on and you will be getting one of the best 40" LED screens I have seen, if you thought that the 2009 models such as the ue40b7020 and the ue46b8000 were good then you have not seen anything yet!

On the flat high of the determine make four extending traces for the fingers. Afterwards, make a line on the left or proper side of the determine to symbolize the thumb. Since the fingers look a bit foolish as thin sticks, you should literally flesh them out. First, draw three circles on each finger and thumb.

These circles will assist you in absolutely drawing out the shape and texture of the fingers. After the circles are made, draw a top level, view round them to make full fingers.

As fingers of anime characters cannot just float in house, it's essential to connect them to an arm and wrist. At the point the place the bell-shaped palm ended, draw a straight line downwards.

Avatar - Feedback From The Virtual World

I finally got around to watching Avatar on DVD, and accept that I am probably one of the last people on planet Earth to have done so! What a fantastic movie, the effects were amazing. It reminded me of an article I had read about a programme created by the military in the USA to gain further insight to aid soldiers in battle.

Depending on which source you turn to, the word 'avatar' has many meanings. In Hinduism an 'avatar' is defined as an incarnation of an immortal being. In modern technology, the word is used to describe a computer user's representation of himself/herself.

The U.S. Department of Defence has taken the modern technological viewpoint to dizzying new heights by creating Santos, as part of the Virtual Soldier Research programme at the University of Iowa. Santos has been created to find ways to ease the physical strain on soldiers. It's designed with a complete bio-mechanical muscular system to provide feedback on speed, fatigue, strength and torque.

Santos is a highly realistic virtual worker who doesn't just simulate motion, but also records the actual physical strains of reaching, lifting and stretching. For example, in this particular area of his expertise, he is able to perform tasks and give feedback to determine whether over months and years these movements will cause back strain. In this way, by using the knowledge gathered by Santos the US military can make the necessary adjustments needed to get the job done.

If that wasn't incredible enough, Santos's development has been taken a step further: he has moved from the virtual battlefield to the virtual assembly line. Santos is now in the testing phase at Ford, used as a computerized avatar that performs actions in the virtual world. This has enabled Ford to improve quality, safety and ergonomics in its design and manufacture before mass production.

The feedback that the US Military and Ford are gaining from Santos, helps them analyse human limits with dynamic motion. This virtual soldier, with his capability in predictive dynamics, will aid in increasing efficiency as well as safety and quality.

The concept of Santos confirms that with the right kind of information and input, we can increase productivity and efficiency. A 360 degree feedback programme works on the same principle. A well executed 360 degree feedback, should prompt measurable changes in the behaviour of the receiver. Performed correctly, a 360 degree feedback review will create assurance around strengths, and indicate a clear pathway of essential areas for people to work on.

We are all aware that to be effective at anything, we need constructive feedback. The US Military, Ford and 79% of the Fortune 100 companies understand this too. In the case of the US Military, Santos is used to work out the best way to equip soldiers for battle. In the work environment, 360-degree feedback is a powerful tool for creating awareness of an individual's strengths and development areas, by measuring performance against a range of key criteria.

Wouldn't it be great to have our own personal Avatar to give us the answers on how to improve ourselves. Unfortunately, you're unlikely to find one on the shelves at your local supermarket. Thankfully we do have performance appraisals in the form of 360 degree feedback, an essential and effective tool for those who want to improve in life.....in any industry.
