At the recent “Autodesk University”, Infinite Z was there demonstrating their zScape product. They call it a “virtual holographic display”, but from watching their video I would say it’s somewhat like a Wacom Cintiq with a 3D Display: You use their laser-pen to interact with software but the visuals are displayed in stereoscopic 3d (requiring their glasses), enabling a new level of depth and interactivity to the experience.
Infinite Z says it is initially focused towards the digital/product design, scientific, medical, GIS/geospatial, and government markets. For now it ships only with drivers for Maya and Showcase, but Infinite Z says other software vendors are on board and the number of products zSpace supports will grow rapidly. A proof-of-concept zSpace demo for Autodesk Alias Design software also ships with the product.
Impressively, the system is available today for a mere $6,000 and works out-of-the-box with Autodesk Showcase and Maya. Check out their demo video below.
It’sArtMag has a short 14-minute VFX Breakdown of the “Alice in Wonderland” from Sony Imageworks. It shows some nice use of greenscreen, face matching, and other effects.
Let’s start off a cold Christmas Monday with something to get the blood pumping, a beautiful collection of beautiful women, available for your viewing in the 3D format of your choice.
This is a unique collection of my own original 3D Paintings of some of the worlds hottest women in 3D for the first time, in HD photo quality, not to be missed. This is a You-Tube 3D format video, choose your 3D glasses style below, and watch in full-screen.
Watch the video below, and check out the high-resolution source imagery on his Flickr stream.
EnSight users now have a new tool to try with their Mac Customers: EnLiten EXE’s for Windows can now be run on Mac’s without needing X thanks to a native Mac Application. It’s available now for free from the Mac App Store.
EnLiten is a 3D viewer for scenes created by EnSight. EnSight visualizes data from scientific and engineering simulations such as fluid dynamics, structural analysis, and vehicle crashworthiness and occupant safety.
With infographics coming from GoBanking Rates, Prezzi, BillShrink, Anglotopia and Metlife, we close this Christmas-themed selection, and also this year’s Daily Viz from Visual Loop. I’ll be taking a short break for the rest of the month, and return for our daily data-viz inspiration on january 9th. So, just want to thank you all for keeping up with our infographic “overdose”, and leave you all the best wishes for this holiday season.
