3D Movies Just Got a 21st Century Face Lift

3D, No GlassesMIT just cracked the 3D problem—how to bring depth without the heinous, uncomfortable plastic glasses. The solution? A new screen that lets everyone view 3D from anywhere they sit. Called Cinema 3D, the technology may seem common place as people have had 3D television sets in their home for awhile.

Ford Connects Ford is making sure you'll always be connected to apps and the internet while you're in the driver's seat. Every new car in 2017 will come pre-loaded with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and also Ford's Sync 3. Ford rolled out Sync 3 in 2015—but only recently linked up with Android Auto. Entertainment and apps are expected to come through Apple and Android's app, while the actual car commands will be controlled through Sync 3. (Via Fortune)

Transit Delays For those living in big cities—and commuting by mass transit—Google Maps may be a permanent feature on your smartphone. Google is starting to add mass transit delays to its maps feature, letting users know if certain lines are working well, or are experiencing slowdowns.
