Everyone at IFA was buzzing about 3D rumors, and Sony wasn’t going to let themselves get left out of the action.  They announced that the Sony VAIO S notebook was getting a 3D overlay screen that will allow users to enjoy a glasses-free 3D experience, creating an interesting new “gadget” for those that are interested in experimenting with 3D technology.  The screen is 3mm thick and will clip onto the 15.5-inch display, delivering great looking 3D for videos or pics without the use of specs.  Now we’re talking…

We expect Sony to expand the technology to other devices, but for now, it seems that they want to experiment with the VAIO S series.  Wondering about the viewing angles and how the 3D will look if you move?  The webcam will have an app that tracks your head, giving a great 3D visual regardless of how you’re situated in front of your laptop.  There are limitations, however, as you’ll want to be between 30CM and 1 meter of the screen. 

This is great stuff as we expect to see a greater adoption rate of 3D technology.  Nothing can initiate the trend like creating gadgets like this one that simply upgrade your existing equipment, allowing for a cheaper delve into the 3D craze.  Interested in turning that 2D VAIO into a 3D machine?  Check out Sony’s latest concoction and see what the fuss is all about.

Sony has come up now the next thing after TV in 3D.  Their popular product VIAO laptops are turning 3D now.  It is HD display, 16 inch with active 3D technology.  The features of the laptop are as follows

1. It has Intel core i7 processor
2. 8GB RAM
3. 640 GB hard disk
4. Nvidia geforce GT540 graphics 
5. 3D active shutter glasses
6. HD web cam
7. Blu ray

Many experts are surprised with Sony’s decision of going for the active shutter instead of passive technology.

Sony VIAO has used advanced frame sequential panel technology along with LED backlit control.  This technology gives you better and sharper image and quick response time along with the wide viewing angle.  Frame sequentially technology can display 1920 X 1080 which is full HD image that is for the left and right eyes.

Sony claims that it is suitable for all kinds of movies and games whether it is action, sports or simple romance.

The laptop will be release in UK first in the month of February.  Nobody has said anything about the price.

You know the feeling you get when you are looking over all of the new goodies at an electronics store knowing you can only afford one upgrade?  Well, Sony is taking strides to ensure that you’ll no longer need to make that difficult decision.  So, next time you get in an argument with the wife regarding a 3D TV upgrade or a new computer, just show her the Sony VAIO L series.  It may end up being cheaper than marriage counseling…

Basically, it seems like Sony designed the 3D TV, but then suddenly realized that they could spice it up into an all-inclusive unit.  And…they absolutely succeeded.  The new VAIO L features a 24-inch 3D display, an onboard Blu-ray player, and a bezel complete with touch controls.  They didn’t skimp on the innards, either, as they’ve made sure to give you 1080p HD playback, USB 3.0, and of course an HDMI port that will allow for PS3 connectivity.

July 13th is when the unit will be available, and the price won’t break the bank.  Priced at $1,420, you’ll get a pair of active shutter 3D glasses and the wireless keyboard and mouse setup.  When you consider everything this thing will do, the price tag is honestly a little shocking.  Nice work, Sony.  Rest assured my desk will be graced with this guy in the very near future.
