SAN DIEGO, CA, May 26, 2011 (Press-News.org) Toshiba and Samsung are competing to see who will bring home the hottest trend in audio-video technology since HD: glasses-free 3D television sets.
Toshiba's first glasses-free 3D TV sets debuted in Asia to mixed reviews. Japanese consumers could purchase 12 and 20-inch models, which went on sale just before Christmas last year. With hefty price tags equivalent to around USD$1,500 for the smaller set and almost $3,000 for the larger, they didn't turn out to be the big sellers Toshiba was hoping they would be.
Meanwhile, Samsung recently debuted a huge 55-inch glasses-free TV set at a technology tradeshow in Shanghai, China. Unfortunately, it's just a prototype, which is not expected to hit the market for at least another three years. The wait might be worth it, however, as those who viewed the demo were reportedly quite impressed with its features.
So if you can't wait and want to purchase a glasses-free 3D TV set this year, what will you be able to watch on it? Although relatively few movies are currently available in 3D, the Nintendo 3DS gaming system is now in stores. That could be fun, except there's currently no supported way to hook Nintendo 3DS up to a TV set, 3D or otherwise.
In the meantime, there are some 3D TV channels up and running, with DirecTV leading the way. They currently have four dedicated 3D channels, with programming that includes sports, movies, special events, nature programs and documentaries.

Combo method reveals cells' signal systems
2011-05-26
Our understanding of what differentiates cancer cells from normal cells is limited by a lack of methods for studying the complex signal systems of individual cells. By combing two different methods, a team of Uppsala researchers have now provided the research world with a tool for studying signal paths on several levels at the same time. Their article is being published today in PLoS One.
"We also show that the method can be used to determine the molecular effect of drugs or pharmaceuticals," says Ola Söderberg, who directed the study at the Department of Immunology, ...
Quinn Direct: New Gender Equality Rule Will Affect Your Car Insurance
2011-05-26
The European Court of Justice has ruled that insurance companies can no longer set premium prices based on gender. The new rules could mean young drivers' car insurance could be significantly cheaper in the future for male drivers. The recently issued judgment will ensure that car insurance premiums in the UK and Ireland are based on a fair risk assessment which does not include gender.
The European Court has passed a new ruling which removes gender considerations from a wide range of commercial activities. The basic principle behind this was whether or not it is legitimate ...
Nearly 1 in 5 young adults has high blood pressure, study shows
2011-05-26
The number of young adults in the United States with high blood pressure may be much higher than previously reported, according to a new study by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Researchers analyzed data on more than 14,000 men and women between 24 and 32 years old in 2008 from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, known as Add Health, funded by the National Institutes of Health. They found 19 percent had elevated blood pressure, also referred to as hypertension. Only about half of the participants with elevated blood pressure ...
Large NIH funded rehabilitation study looks at getting stroke patients back on their feet
2011-05-26
In the largest stroke rehabilitation study ever conducted in the United States, stroke patients who had physical therapy at home improved their ability to walk just as well as those who were treated in a training program that requires the use of a body-weight supported treadmill device followed by walking practice.
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, also found that patients continued to improve up to one year after stroke, defying conventional wisdom that recovery occurs early and tops out at six months. In fact, even patients who started rehabilitation ...
Quinn Direct Comments on The European Court of Justice Gender Ruling on Car Insurance
2011-05-26
The European Court of Justice has recently issued a judgment relating to gender 'discrimination' in insurance. This ruling will see significant changes for companies in EU Member States selling car insurance, Ireland included.
To understand what this might mean for you, it's necessary to look at the background, says car insurance specialist Quinn Direct.
For many years, car insurance providers have set their car policy prices based upon the perceived risk associated with a given individual. This has been widely accepted as the fairest way of setting motor vehicle ...
Electron is surprisingly round, say Imperial scientists following 10 year study
2011-05-26
Scientists at Imperial College London have made the most accurate measurement yet of the shape of the humble electron, finding that it is almost a perfect sphere, in a study published in the journal Nature today.
The experiment, which spanned more than a decade, suggests that the electron differs from being perfectly round by less than 0.000000000000000000000000001 cm. This means that if the electron was magnified to the size of the solar system, it would still appear spherical to within the width of a human hair.
The physicists from Imperial's Centre for Cold Matter ...
Evolution of swine flu viruses traced in long-term study
2011-05-26
Although swine influenza viruses usually sicken only pigs, potentially one might also spark a pandemic in people, as occurred with the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. Because few long-term studies have surveyed flu viruses in swine, however, gaps exist in what is known about the evolution of swine influenza viruses and the conditions that enable a swine virus to infect humans and cause disease.
In new research reported in Nature, scientists analyzed the genetic makeup of more than 650 influenza viruses isolated during the systematic surveillance of pigs slaughtered in Hong ...
