This is not TED, but Ideas are worth spreading

  • I am not the least afraid to die, I am only sorry that I have not the strength to go on with my research. ~ Charles Robert Darwin(1809-1882)

How to install Bino, 3D Video Player on Ubuntu 12.04 and

Bino is a stereoscopic or 3D video player available for all platforms including GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Windows Operating Systems. For Windows users there are many commercial video players available including Cyberlink Power DVD 12. You can also use free NVIDIA 3D video player if your computer have a compatible NVIDIA Graphics Card with Nvidia 3D vision feature.

Commercial softwares are not available for Linux.
So, I think there is no reason not to using Linux just because you have difficulty in watching 3D movies. Linux is not limiting you to watch 3D movies. 

'Bino' (Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux) is free software, open source licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL version 3 or later with two special features:
- Support for stereoscopic or 3D videos, with a wide variety of input and output formats.
- Support for multi-display video, e.g. for powerwalls, Virtual Reality installations and other multi-projector setups.
Supported input formats (modern formats can be autodetected):
  • Monoscopic (2D) video
  • Left and right view in separate video streams and/or files
  • Left and right view side by side (optionally with half width)
  • Left and right view on top of each other (optionally with half height)
  • Left and right view in alternating rows
Supported output formats:
  • Anaglyph red-cyan glasses (this works with every display)
  • Bino uses the high-quality Dubois method to produce anaglyph images. This gives far better results than the usual full-color and half-color methods.
  • Left and right view side by side (used by some 3D displays)
  • Left and right view on top of each other (used by some 3D displays)
  • Left and right view in alternating rows or columns (used by some 3D displays)
  • OpenGL quad-buffered stereo (only available with some graphics cards)

And here is exactly how you install Bino under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

First of all open terminal and type  
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zeppelinlg/bino (use copy and paste)
Then press ENTER to add the repository
Now you need to update your repository by running following command
sudo apt-get update
Finally you can install bino by running following command from the terminal
sudo apt-get install bino
And you are done. 

For windows you can simply click the following link to download the program.
Why pay for commercial software when there is opensource to do the same.

Here is the screenshot of bino 1.4. playing 'Transformers, Dark of the Moon 3D' on my computer with Ubuntu 12.04.
You do need (left)Red + Cyan(right) glasses to watch 3D movies on non-3d display. If you have a 3D display then you'll have the required glasses when you buy one.

Ubuntu with Beyond Computers Pvt. Ltd.

I, as a founder of Beyond Computers Pvt. Ltd, and the publisher of http://www.mrakesh.com.np/ is very happy to finally implement Ubuntu as a viable, free open source Operating System and working solution against the prevalent Microsoft Operating Systems. Of course there are so many challenges for its implementation. I wish to introduce my world and my business with Ubuntu. Currently I've implemented Ubuntu Operating system in two firms, where one it's working as a server and one is working as a virus proof web browsing desktop. Here are few pictures which I took for my blog.


The above two picture is of Ubuntu which is working as a dedicated file server for 25 workstation desktops (computers) in a firm. It's operating from 5th March 2012.

The above two picture is of Ubuntu working as a smooth web browsing experience in a Cyber Cafe named Cyber Annex some place in Lalitpur. It's operating from 1st September 2012.

Here are few features of Ubuntu.
It's perfect OS for a server.
It's best for a desktop.
It is free and Open source.
It is free from (windows) viruses, the headache for most users.
It's interface is easy, elegant and beautiful.
It works faster than windows.
It doesn't slowdown over time.
Canonical Ltd. provides leadership for Ubuntu and its developement and is founded by Mark Richard Shuttleworth (born 18 September 1973), a South African entrepreneur, philanthropist, and space tourist who became the first South African in space.

For those who doesn't know much about Ubuntu and what it can do to help your business contact my email so that I can tell you whether Ubuntu will suit your business and increase your business's productivity.
