This month begins the march to 2012 technology with the Consumer Electronics Show just around the corner.

In-Your-Face Advertising That Consumers Might Love September 21, 2011 
3D marketing is powerful -- and even more so, when it's delivered to the palm of your hand. Mobile 3D is becoming an increasingly common way of grabbing, holding, and entertaining consumers. From using current mobile technologies to create a sense of 3D, to creating actual images that seem to pop off the screen and into the air, mobile marketers are using the power of interactivity.

Shopping Online, Up Close and Personal July 27, 2011 
Shopping has traditionally involved an element of seeing, touching and feeling a product before buying. Shopping online, however, hasn't ever quite replicated that experience. That is, until now. With the advent of 3D technologies, online shopping is on the verge of a radical transformation.

Adventures in Invention: Printing Objects June 07, 2011 
Maybe the "printer" part of "3D printer" is not exactly the right word, since printing has so long been thought of as a two-dimensional process of applying ink to paper. But the term, like the 3D printing process itself, seems to be here to stay.
3D printers, which use a wide range of technologies to produce actual objects from digital files, are revolutionizing what it means to conceive of, design and make things.

LG Puts 3D on Optimus Smartphone, World Waits to See Why February 14, 2011 
"Big screen, middle screen, little screen," might be a fast way to describe the journey of 3D technology, the last leg of which LG unveiled Monday at the Mobile World Congress. The world's first three-dimensional smartphone, LG's Optimus 3D runs the Android operating system on a 4.3-inch LCD glasses-free screen.

Sony's Many Flavors of 3D January 07, 2011 
Last year's CES was 3D TV's great big debutant ball. The world was shown something kind of cool-looking and told, This is the future of home entertainment! Behold! Everyone oohed and aahed appropriately, then went out and bought tablets. Most people only upgrade big-screen TVs when there's something very wrong with the one they have now, and not doing 3D doesn't quite qualify as "wrong" yet.

Samsung Shows Off Svelte New Smartphone January 05, 2011 
A couple of weeks ago, talk surfaced of a super-thin and super-bright phone in the works from LG.

Toshiba Gambles Its Glasses-Free 3D TV Tech Is Good Enough January 05, 2011 
Special glasses to view 3D movies have been around for decades, almost representing a bad theatrical cliche -- rows of eyeglass-clad teens screaming, for instance, as an ax from the latest slasher film comes bolting out of the screen. Now, Toshiba is taking the glasses off.

Here Comes the Holodeck November 19, 2010 
As if scripted for a "Star Trek" episode, news of a real-life, real-time hologram instantly projected images of holodecks in many a sci-fi fan's head, only to be dashed and challenged and revived again. The action opened with an announcement that a technological breakthrough by researchers at The University of Arizona produces a true hologram -- one that can be viewed from any angle and without 3D glasses.

Through the Looking Glass: 3D Everywhere September 02, 2010 
"What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?" That's the question Alice asks at the beginning of Lewis Carroll's classic adventure. Perhaps Mr. Carroll knew more than he realized. 3D Movies. Multitouch screens. iPads. Everywhere you look, consumers increasingly demand more of an "experience" when engaging with their content, be it a book, a movie or their computers.
