Happy New Year animation ramblings fans, it certainly looks like 2009 will be the year of 3D films.
Film directors such as James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis and even George Lucas have been talking about how their new films will be in 3D and DreamWorks Animation chief executive Jeffrey Katzenberg stated that "all of DreamWork Animation's films will be both authored and offered in 3D"
NVIDEA have been demoing new active glasses for showing such films at home and Novo have produced the worlds first consumer 3D webcam which has the extra advantage of looking a little like the Johnny 5 robot from the Short Circuit films.
