Amazing 3D Immersion Technology. This is a must see.
The guys over at IDEO Labs were fortunate enough to grab a tour of WATG’s Wimberly Labs and EON Reality’s new immersive 3D room.
A video demo can be found above but I highly recommend you watch the HD version here – awesome!!
The iCube is described as being:
“comprised of three white walls and a floor, all about 10′ x 10′ in size. Onto each surface is projected a high-resolution, stereoscopic image. A viewer stands in the room wearing polarized 3D glasses — like you might use in a 3D movie — with small markers that stick out a bit from the frames.
The markers are illuminated by IR LED floodlights located on the perimeter of the room, and IR-sensitive cameras use those positions to determine the precise location of each eye within the room. From those positions, stereo images for each projector are calculated and rendered on the fly, and the result is absolutely amazing.”

Sign in with “Twitter Connect”?
Google’s done it. Facebook’s done it. And now Twitter is in on the act, to allow you to sign in to other applications using your Twitter ID and password.
The Twitter API Wiki was updated with this news yesterday, and describes how OAuth is used.
Twitter could potentially build on this service to offer an interface with its API in the same way that Google and Facebook’s ‘Connect’ services do – but critical to this will be the issue of security, which has been an Achilles Heel for Twitter in the past, and the recent worm attack will have done little to enhance confidence in the service.
