The Samsung BD-C6900 3D Blue-ray player is finally available after a failed attempt to hit the shelves. The device offers support for Full HD 1080p. It also has wireless LAN built-in and 1 GB integrated memory.

The BD-C6900 also features DLNA support which means that the device can be used as a media-stream receiver, including support for Dolby Digital TruHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

The BD-C6900 has 3D capabilities and it is compatible with Samsung’s HDTVs and Blue-ray 3D standard TV sets. The player can be acquired from Amazon for $399.99.

There are many ways to shoot 3D video but very few are suitable for everyone, especially for those with a limited budget. The Scientific Analysis and Visualization Initiative at Weber State University has created a device that is based on two Kodak ZX1 pocket HD cameras. The cameras are placed on a L-shaped aluminum bar via machine screws with 6.5cm between them ( because this seems to be the correct distance to film in 3D ).

This is a great and also a cheap solution to film in 3D considering the fact that this homemade device costs only $250.
