Podcasts

A podcast is a digital audio or video recording, often a part of a themed series, that can be downloaded onto a media player (iPod, MP3, etc.) or computer. (as defined, though slightly reworded, by Dictionary.com) You can find podcast in many different websites, so it's difficualt to narrow it down to one place, though sites like Pod Bean that host podcasts free of charge, as long as you use the basic package.

Emerging Technology: Autostereoscopy

Auto-stereoscopy is any method of displaying a stereoscopic image (an illusion of 3D depth) without the use of glasses. Stereoscopy itself has been used for quite some time, using glasses that use various methods to show each eye a separate image that the brain combines into one ‘3D’ image. While auto-stereoscopy is similar, it lacks the need of glasses, and is also known as ‘glasses-less, or glasses-free, 3D,’ for that very reason. It works by using either lenticular lenses or parallax barriers that redirect the image to several viewing angles, each eye picks up a different image, and it shifts at different angles, giving an illusion of 3D. While there are several different viewing angles, there are also dead zones where a blurry, 2D, or even no image is seen. The recently released Nintendo 3DS is an example of handheld gaming device that uses a parallax barrier to create a ‘3D’ image. A phone was recently released in America that works on the same concept as well.
