Physorg reports:

Apple has filed a patent application for electronic video spectacles that will allow wearers to watch films in 3D on the inside of the glasses.

Users would attach their iPhone, iPod, or other device to the spectacles, which have a special lens that can split the image into two frames — one for each eye — and then project the image onto the spectacles. The two images would create a stereoscopic effect since they would appear to have been taken from slightly different angles, and this would simulate 3D.

... which then turns your iPhone into a vintage stereo viewer.

Although patent applications are a far cry from actual product news, it's interesting to see Apple exploring 3D. In reality, the glasses-free Nintendo 3DS approach will be a gazillion times more practical.

Click to view photo set.Fans of a certain gullwing time machine got a special treat at this year's Denver Auto Show.

The Showcase featured five excellent condition DeLoreans, including a recently built 2008 model and one with a flux capacitor. Wilson Hitchings, the owner of the 2008, was nice enough to let me sit in his car with the door closed, giving me my first view from inside a DeLorean cockpit. Well, technically my second, though I was too young to remember the first.*

At 6'4" it was a tight fit, but if given the chance to take one for a spin, I'd manage.

*As my dad tells it, I sat in one as a kid and the closing gullwing door scared me right out of it.

The event is pitched as a tech demo in an effort to encourage 3D adoption.

From the NY Times:

To be sure, the 3-D experience on personal computers can be sampled only by the few (3-D capable TVs are rare as well). Not many PCs these days come equipped with the necessary hardware and software to handle 3-D. That technology is mostly confined to higher-end PCs for gamers. The Masters site had a page showing what’s needed, with links for downloading 3-D player software.

But the small audience is not the point, says John Kent, I.B.M.’s technology manager for the Masters sponsorship. “This is more about raising the bar and showing what’s possible,” he said.
