Toshiba Satellite A665 - Five unusual uses for 3D

Sure, you can use the Toshiba Satellite A665 to watch 3D movies or play games with an extra sense of depth, but that’s not all the Nvidia 3D Vision technology inside is good for. Read on, and we’ll show you five more things to try while wearing 3D glasses.

Make 3D photo slideshows
Showing off your holiday photos on a laptop has become the modern equivalent of a 1980s slideshow party, but with the Toshiba Satellite A665 you can kick things up a notch.

Use a camera with 3D abilities to take your holiday snaps, and the Toshiba Satellite A665 will play them back so friends can marvel at your latest foreign trip in three dimensions. There are more cameras than ever offering 3D capture, from point and shoot snappers to full-blown professional cameras with inter-changeable lenses. Kit yourself up, and show off your travels in 3D!

Tour the globe in 3D
Nvidia 3D Vision adds an extra dimension to 3D-ready apps such as Microsoft Virtual Earth. Take it for a spin and see the planet Earth leap from the Satellite A665’s screen. 3D landmarks look brilliant too, popping up from the surface of the globe, and making your virtual globetrotting all the more rewarding!

Expand 3D to your TV
Want to expand the Satellite A665’s 3D skills to the big screen? If you’ve got a 3D TV then you’re in luck. Nvidia’s new Nvidia 3DTV Play software takes all the 3D content you’ve been enjoying on the laptop and, using the HDMI socket of the Satellite A665, puts it on the big screen.

Whether you’re enjoying 3D games, movies, photos or apps, it’s the perfect way of liberating your 3D content and making sure everyone can enjoy it without crowding over a single laptop.

Watch live events in 3D
3D TV broadcasts haven’t yet taken hold in the UK, but equipped with a Satellite A665 you’re ready to watch live events in eye-spanking 3D. Check out Nvidia’s live 3D events, and you can gorge your peepers on such spectacles as NASCAR and the PGA Championship, streamed live to your laptop in eye-stroking 3D!

Create 3D art
Fancy yourself as a digital artist? There’re tools and apps that work with Nvidia 3D Vision to let you create objects and artworks in 3D space. Check out 3D Coat and you’ll see new ways of working with a digital paintbrush, creating art and virtual objects with the same technologies as Hollywood effects specialists, all using the power of the Satellite A665.
