3D TV in 2010
While Avatar and its stunning 3D appeal is grabbing all the attention, could 3D TV really be a reality next year?
Avatar’s Catalytic Impact on Future 3D TV and Film:
"Avatar won’t be alone for long in pursuing next-level 3D. Tim Burton ’s Alice in Wonderland for television and Steven Spielberg ’s live-action Tintin for the big screen will be matched by major 3D video game efforts involving iPod, PS4, Xbox 720, 3D Blu-ray and 3D blockbuster video games. Greenfield says that by this time next year, 3D could be more of a presence on television, although it is expected to gradually grow only to about 30 percent penetration over time."
3DTV testing starts in Finland:
“Welho, the cable broadcaster based in Finland, has begun testing out 3D TV with customers located around the Helsinki area. The company is another broadcaster looking to offer a full 3D TV channel at some point during 2010.”
Avatar: Good News for 3D TV and Blu-ray?
"But will the 3D trend extend to home entertainment, too? In recent months, the consumer electronics industry has been working behind the scenes to build the framework for 3D in the home. The Blu-Ray Disc Association this week announced specifications for creating full 1080p 3D Blu-Ray content. The first 3D-enabled Blu-ray players will likely debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Meanwhile, major TV manufacturers are hoping 3D TV becomes the next big thing. Sony , for instance, predicts that 3D sets will compose 30 to 50 percent of all the TVs it sells in its 2012 fiscal year."
