Could it be the future of 3D TV? - MIT Media Lab's glasses-free 3D

   MIT has developed a new approach of glasses-free 3D which is way cheaper than Toshiba's glasses-free 3D TV released this year. After looking at the photos and the hand-on video by Engadget, I can't be more disappointed by its picture quality. They are all blurry and the picture details are terrible.

Toshiba released the first glasses-free 3D TV this year and many experts say 3D effect is not as deep as 3D TVs with glasses and it limits the number of viewers and viewing angle significantly. I have a LG's passive 3D TV set and it is by far the best...

But that same day, something else happened that we Americans are really proud of. One of the five girls, McKayla Maroney, showed the world the greatest vault performance in Olympic history. The team decided to start with the vault, which they believe is where they are strongest and they were right. To do the vault may be quick but it's very dangerous. Emily Bayci described how it's done: "All the Americans can hit Amanars, which are considered the most difficult and dangerous vaults in the world. It consists of a round-off onto the board, then a back handspring onto the table...
