3D TV on YouTube -- and the World Cup in 3D, too!
3D Update: 3D TV: Are we there yet? (My post on the Innovative Interactivity (II) blog)
3D TV has been available on YouTube since mid-2009. For a brief overview, watch the following video from Epic Fu:

Nearly a year later, this short video clip has over 1,440,000 views. A sign of a meaningful trend?
YES!

ESPN 3D officially launches with FIFA World Cup coverage: Live from Bristol
(Ben Drawbaugh, 6/11/10)
"As for the tech side of things, ESPN was taking in the 1080i50 side by side 3D signal and converting it to the US-friendly 1080i60 side by side, and since DLP sets expect the checkerboard 3D format, a RealD POD was used to make the link between the cable set-top-box and the TV. The glasses were supplied by XpanD, but not the same universal shutter glasses that we expect to be available at retail soon."
Engdget Interview: Chuck Pagano talks ESPN 3D, mobile streaming
(Darren Murph, 6/12/10)
"Chuck stated that ESPN first started taking the whole 3D idea seriously around four years ago, and while the FIFA World Cup feed isn't being shot / directed by ESPN, it's hard to turn down 25 live events in 3D that the entire world will take interest in. He noted that while DirecTV, Comcast and AT&T are signed on at launch, deals are in the works with "all available options" in the US; outside of America, he confessed that the company "isn't looking at anything internationally right now."'

I'm Sold on 3D TVs...And I Kind of Hate Myself For It
(Mark Wilson, 1/11/10 Gizmodo)
"I wouldn't buy anything but a BIG 3D TV.
Without fail, the bigger the 3D, the better the illusion. Anything under 50 inches is basically a joke, unless it's your computer monitor or something. And I will say, even though Vizio's XVT Pro television wasn't my favorite experience (it's an LCD and thereby less smooth), the fact that it was 72-inches meant that a plane's wing almost hit me in the nose."

WONG - Multi-touch Pong Rerun - Link to Updated Game and Code (via Seth Sandler)
In 2007-2008 there were a handful of multi-touch concept demo videos created, accompanied by upbeat music. The song in this video would be great for the Glee iPad/iPhone app!
Wong was created by Seth Sandler, who recently cleaned up the code. The latest version of Wong, along with the cleaned-up code, can be found on the TechSparked website: http://techsparked.com/application/wall-pong

Interactive Data + Health Apps: (article by Alex Howard about the Community Health Data Forum, with video about HHS.gov/open and info about games and health data!)
For a wealth of information and links related to this topic, please read Alex Howard's recent O'Reilly Radar post, "Here come the healthcare apps: A look at the applications--and the big opportunities--showcased at the Community Health Data Forum."
Information from HHS.gov/Open:
"... working with a growing array of technology companies, researchers, health advocates, employers, media, consumer advocates, marketers, providers, etc., we are seeking to identify the uses of this data that would do the most to raise awareness of health performance, help motivate civic leaders and citizens to improve performance, and help improvers do the improving.
Potential examples include:

Potential examples include:
- Interactive health maps on the web that allow citizens to understand health performance in their area vs. others with tremendous ease and clarity
- “Dashboards” that enable mayors and other civic leaders to track and publicize local health performance and issues
- Social networking applications that allow health improvement leaders to connect with each other, compare performance, share best practices, and challenge each other
- Competitions regarding how communities can innovate to improve health performance
- Viral online games that help educate people about community health
- Utilization of community health data to help improve the usefulness of results delivered by web search engines when people do health-related searches and further raise awareness of community health performance
- Integration of community health-related data into new venues, such as real estate websites, which could be highly effective disseminators of such information
- Etc."
