Having just finished my morning trip through the South Hall at the enormous LVCC, I thought I’d share a couple of the gems I found today.

Nvidia GEForce 3d Gaming glasses

Nvidia’s 3D Gaming glasses make any DirectX based PC game a 3D experience. They split the geometry of the game graphics into two channels – right and left – and render them to the glasses. they don’t work with console gaming, though. For console gamers, you’ll need to keep an eye out for my report on 3D TVs on display at CES. They retail at $199.

Creative X-Fi

The Creative X-Fi wireless music system works like the Sonos wireless music system I saw last year but with a significant difference in price.  The small dongle transmitter (indicated by the red arrow) and the receiver (below) retail as a pair for about $150. The speakers shown above actually retail for about $130, and have the built in wireless receiver.

Creative X-Fi receiver

The receiver has standard RCA jacks to allow connection to a home theater or any powered speakers. The transmitter works on a proprietary 2.4 Ghz band, so you don’t need to consume your wi-fi network bandwidth for music.  The included software works on PC or Mac and is compatible with media players like Windows Media and iTunes or Internet music like Last.fm.

inPerson Video Conferencing

The inPerson video conferencing system takes broadband video calling to a new level.  The video feed is customizable based on your connection from 128k to 1MB.  The camera shoots in 640×480, and includes an output jack that be easily attached to a large screen TV.  The unit retails about $800, making it a bit pricey for most consumers.  However, it starts to make video conferencing more affordable for small businesses with multiple offices, or distributed collaboration.
