i3DG Palm Top Theater for your iPhone or iPod,puts 3D movies in the palm of your hand

Palm Top Theater puts 3D movies in the palm of your hand. It is an exhibition consisting of a device called i3DG. i3DG derives from the words”I”,  “3D”, and “Gadget”.

i3DG is invented by Jitsuro Mase, a media artist, and produced by DIRECTIONS, Inc, a Japanese media production company.

i3DG is a playful analog extension to an iPhone or an iPodTouch, converting its 2D display into a layered 3D view. Using the old technique of placing a half-silvered mirror at a 45-degree angle in front of an image, in a new context, the project extends upon 3D displays and iPhones. As a peripheral gadget, i3DG can support a wide range of different applications, from  3Dvideos and animations to accelerometer-based games.

This device lets you enjoy 3D movies right in the palm of your hand without 3D glasses or other gear. Both production and playback of the visuals do not require special technology or equipment, such as shooting imagery with 2 cameras or using complicated CG technique for image production. It has won a prize of an international competition, Ars Electronica Festival 2010 Honorary Mention.

Memorex comes out with swanky iPhone4 Dock with Apple’esque in design

Memorex has come out with a total of six new swanky iPod and iPhone audio systems, ranging from travel sized speaker systems to alarm clocks. Available with a black or white/aluminum style finish, these new systems are very Apple’esque in design. The systems are all compatible with the iPhone 4, as well as the new iPod Nano 6G and iPod Touch 4G.

Memorex says that they spent a year working with women and their families, inside of their homes, in order to develop a new line of products that are practical, well thoughtout, and have genuine female appeal. This is why so many of the systems in this new lineup have emphasized portability, durability and ease of use – for example, even the alarm clock on the new Clock Radio Dual Alarm feature back-lit buttons that walk you through the process of setting the time and alarm.

All of these systems go on sale this week at Best Buy and will be available on Amazon too.

Read on for more details about all of the new models.

Featuring integrated collapsible handles, lightweight lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and durable rubberized bottoms, the PartyCube™ Sound System and PartyCube™ CD Sound System provide the ultimate flexibility for families’ music-inspired moments. Unique, recessed docking cradles charge your iPod or iPhone, while also protecting the device from being scratched or damaged.

The PartyCube™ CD Sound System (MSRP: $149.99) will get your family grooving with four multi-directional speakers for room-filling sound. In addition to playing and charging all iPhone and iPod devices, this system also includes a top-loading CD player, digitalAM/FM tuner, line-in jack and rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to eight hours of un-tethered music fun.

Like its larger counterpart, the PartyCube™ Sound System (MSRP: $99.99) features multi-directional speakers and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, making it perfect for music lovers at home or on the go. Compatible with all iPod and iPhone devices, the system includes a digital FM tuner and line-in jack.

Break the Earbud Barrier
Families with teens or tweens know WeTime just isn’t the same when earbuds are in use. The TagAlong™ Portable Boombox (MSRP: $59.99) and PurePlay™ Portable Speaker (MSRP: $69.99) are designed to “break the earbud barrier” and make music sharing fun for family members of all ages.

A perfect companion for kids, the TagAlong™ Portable Boombox is a great grab and go option for taking your music to the pool or a picnic. With its integrated handle, digital FM radio and recessed docking station for your iPod or iPhone, the TagAlong™ Portable Boombox allows you to play great-sounding music in any setting.

A clutch-style speaker system, the PurePlay™ Portable Speaker provides powerful sound when on the go. From the backyard to the park, the PurePlay™ Portable Speaker can be easily folded and packed, and its sleek, durable design keeps your speakers protected. When you’re back at home, simply unfold it and groove to your favorite tunes while powering and charging your iPod or iPhone.

Wake Up in Style
There’s no better way to start your day than with your favorite tunes. But many iPod- or iPhone-compatible alarm clocks feature “upright docking” stations that leave your device unprotected. The innovative Clock Radio Dual Alarm (MSRP: $69.99) and Clock Radio Mini Alarm (MSRP: $49.99) feature a one-of-a-kind “lay down docking” station that allows your iPod or iPhone to play as it charges, while cradling your device from being scratched when you go to hit snooze.

Set two different wake-up times so you can both enjoy waking to an iPod or iPhone with the Clock Radio Dual Alarm. It’s quick and simple to set time and alarm functions thanks to backlit buttons that walk you through the process. Front and side speakers offer ample wake-up sound, while the six-option dimmer switch, sleep timer and battery backup provide the functionality families look for in a dual AM/FM alarm clock.

Available for just under $50, the Clock Radio Mini Alarm offers the unique combination of iPhone and iPod compatibility and is ideal for smaller spaces. A feature-rich alarm clock in a compact package, the Clock Radio Mini Alarm includes a sleep timer, dimmer function and backup battery for time. Whether waking up to your iPod, iPhone, FM radio or buzzer, its stereo speakers provide high-quality sound.
