Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Processors

Qualcomm was showing off their new S4 Snapdragon Processor in both mobile devices and TVs, that’s right TVs. Here we see this processor converting A.R. (augmented reality) from 2D to 3D before sending over HDMI to the TV. You can se how he has the mobile phone pointed at the flat map played on the table there and it’s turned into a 3D barrel shooting game on the TV. It really was pretty cool, no lag, and a crisp 3D image.

Glasses free 3D montor

LG was really trying to show their hands at 3D. Here they had a 25″ glasses free 3D monitor. Full 1080p and looked pretty sharp. The trick and problem here was that it tracked the user by video to provide the perfect 3D picture, however you could see lag and blur when you moved until it was able to adjust for your movement.

LG 3-D

LG greeted us with a pair of 3-D glasses before entering and viewing their wall of 3-D. They had the entire entrance covered with 3-D TVs and played a pretty neat movie of effects that showed off the technology pretty well. Once inside every inch of the LG floor was covered with this technology. They even had a glass showcase full of fashionable 3-D glasses.

The 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) kicks off this week in Las Vegas. I will be attending for my first time and I’m nothing short of excited. Anyone who has even the slightest geek in them knows this is the biggest electronics show in the world. CES is filled with everything electronic like TVs, phones, computers, cameras, and tablets. If you do a quick search on Google or twitter for CES you find and endless stream of leaks, expectations and hopes for this year. Here are some of the leaks that I’m looking forward to checking out:

  • Toshiba’s 55-inch Glasses-less 3-D TV. They are the pioneer for this upcoming technology bringing 3-D video to your home without the need for those annoying glasses. This will be headed to theUSthe first quarter of year with a cool $10,000 price tag.

  • LG’s 55-inch OLED TV. This thing is only 4 mm thin and weighs in at about 7.5 kg. It also has almost no border so if you played a video of a pool I guess it would be an infinite pool? This same TV is also boasting a new 4 Color Pixels technology that is sure to impress the videophile in everyone.

  • Intel is finally entering the mobile chip market with their new Medfield design. They already have a partnership with LG and have built an Android phone. Currently this and their mock-up tablets aren’t in production, but once they have the power consumption issue handled they are sure to become a force to be reckoned with.
