Getting out well in front of the 3D standardization trend appears to be working out for the 3D@Home Consortium and its assorted backers --including Samsung, Disney, Philips and others -- as it has just submitted to the CEA a list of the various products and technologies involved in 3D. Between active shutter and passive glasses solutions we have long lost track of who is doing exactly what in the 3D space, but it appears this group has stayed on top of it, developing a database of the different glasses technologies and working with the CEA to help create a standard that it hopes will resolve any possible compatibility issues before they become a problem. We just want to know which sticker or logo we should be checking for on the side of the box that indicates our future purchases won't be incompatible or obsolete before their time, is that really so hard?
I got lasik so I didn't need to wear glasses to watch a movie. I don't plan on starting that up again anytime soon.
I fear 3D will be implemented by force. TPTB know that general interest in 3D is low, so they'll make it compulsory.
Want that V10 Panasonic? Good blacks, 24P, THX, and coming 2010 3D!
Oh you don't want 3D tech? There's the Vizio for you then.
Same thing happened with cell phones. I've never used internet/camera/dictionary, but they come as part of the bargain when I buy a small phone with a long battery life.
Everyone loves my 3D set-up for games, and I cannot wait for Blue-ray to support 3D for movies. I am glad to hear about the 3D@Home Consortium.
