Shenigans!

The 2D->3D bit sounds more plausible, although it will never be as good as true 3D and is going to have loads of artifacts.]]>Dec 8th 2009 6:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/

The concert website bragged about them having a 3 story HD display behind the orcherstra.

They could fit 4.5 of their screens in one side of the large display.]]>Dec 8th 2009 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/

"Real-time optical flow" was described in a paper published in 1994. Man, if that's sophisticated, just think about the pentium pro!]]>Dec 8th 2009 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Dec 8th 2009 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Dec 8th 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/
The Big XII Championship game, which decided whether or not Texas went to Pasadena for the Championship game, didn't mean anything?

And unless the Cowboys totally implode (completely possible, they like to do that at the end of the year), they'll make it to the playoffs, and if they manage to beat Phillie at home, manage to not blow it at Washington (and come in, it's the Redskins), and somehow pull out a victory against either the Saints or the Chargers, they'll probably still be the top seed, and host a playoff game there as well.

Those don't matter either? Weird. I thought they did.]]>Dec 8th 2009 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/
I know, I know... They have been to Blaaaaa Superbowls and won many of them... That is great, that is awesome, but we are in a world of "What have you done for me lately..."]]>Dec 8th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Dec 8th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Dec 8th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Yeah I don't understand this.

In fact, you'll find Engadget writers' NFL knowledge is so deep and fundamental that it flies right under your radar. :)]]>Dec 8th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/
Distance, lighting, and social response ("I have to wear they stupid googles vs. my beer hat?!) will cause it to fail.

Anyway, why is there so much over hype of 3D? I mean with the lighter glasses, digitally controlled video for 3D, it still looks like the crap 30yrs ago. Augmented reality is a much better user experience with digital video.]]>Dec 8th 2009 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Dec 8th 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Dec 8th 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Dec 8th 2009 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Dec 8th 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/Dec 8th 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/cowboys-stadium-first-to-demo-real-time-conversion-of-2d-hdtv-vi/

About 6 minutes into the 3rd quarter, The anouncer asked, How about the 3d." Then 80,000 boos groaned and quickly they switched back to HD 1080 2d and everyone cheered.

It was a step back for 3d in my opinion, surprised Jerry allowed that crap.]]>Dec 14th 2009 11:42AM
