3D is here

Now Sony and Panasonic have introduced an "active shutter" technique for high definition plasma and LCD TVs. The viewer still has to wear polarized glasses, but in this system the glasses have LCD active shutters that are synchronized with signals from the TV. The shutters rapidly block the right and left eye views alternately so each eye receives the correct image.

Panasonic will be releasing some Full HD 3D models later this year, with Sony's version coming on the market later. Buyers of the new TVs will also need 3D-compatible Blu-ray disc players. The glasses will be supplied with the TV sets. There is no information yet on the prices of these televisions.

I don't thing it'll catch on the wider scale, the future is 3D glassless free TVs, and they already have them...

samsung and mitsubishi have had this for a couple years. It works quite well. We are working on several 3d projects right now.

I first saw one back in '97 when I was 12 years old...I't blew my mind. Thought we'd have holographic projectors in every living room by now.

Holovid- at least for addresses from The Emperor...

Already about 3,000,000 3D ready DLP TV's in homes that use the same shutter glasses. Problem is most people don't know they have them.

Although many are playing 3D Stereoscopic games on them now.

No doubt. The question is - which technology will be ready for mass deployment sooner? We may go directly to glassless 3D, or take a detour via the thing described above.

Anyway, this is one reason why I'm waiting for the Scarlet. I want to start shooting 3D as soon as possible, knowing that this is the future. I may not be able to display it too soon, but eventually we'll get there - and then my footage will be 3D ready! :devil:
