Yesterday, the BBC broadcast the first high definition 3-D signal for the coverage of a football game (soccer for the yanks).

I thought of Vagueland as a 3-D movie when I first thought of the basic premise, almost nine years ago. Back then digital cinema was just coming onto the scene, but even back then the applications for 3-D projection were laid out, but the technology simply was not there; neither in storage capacity, bandwidth, or processing power, let alone projection quality.
Another good news item is that IMAX is finally going to dump it’s very costly film projection and dump it A.S.A.P. Texas Instruments (who I am still amazed still even exist) is going to be partners with IMAX and apparently a whole slew of other movie chains, effectively dissing Sony.
