Next3D to deliver 3D via the internet

Physical media and cable bills not your thing, but you're still thinking you might want to see what all the 3D fuss is about? Good news because Next3D plans to deliver 1080P 3D via the internet directly to PC, game consoles and other set-top boxes in the first quarter of this year. Sports, documentaries and movies are all a part of the plan, but apparently Next3D has its own transmission technology. We'll be interested to learn if it more like MVC that Blu-ray is using, or frame-compatible techniques like cable and satellite will bring to market first; but ultimately the proof is how it looks, which of course we have to wait to see for ourselves.

Actually, I was thinking that 2D streaming still needs work. Let's perfect that first.

"1080p 3D via the internet directly to PC" , yeah right thats the plan.lol

Streaming 1080p will not work from personal experience. There are a couple of military technologies that are becoming public from engineers working in the public sector now and could do this at about 2Mpbs-5Mps with compression and w/out 5.1 audio but no commercial company using it has the content distribution rights.

hmmm. I don't know that there will be enough content for an entire 3d section here. Plus I don't really feel that 3d is something different from HD, I feel its more like HDTV v1.5

@(Unverified) I disagree with you on HDTV 1.5
