WOW! 3D TV and Movies Coming to your Homes in 2010
Extremely unbelievable. Now you don’t have to go to the IMAX to get the superb 3D feel while watching Blockbusters. Just imagining the fact that we could be watching “Iron Man 2″ or the next Spiderman on 3D within a year is making my mouth and eyes thirst for the experience.

Fly Me to the Moon may be the first digital 3D movie to get an all-3D theatrical release, but it certainly won’t be the last. What’s more, theatrical runs are just the beginning of a film’s revenue stream. And soon enough, studios will be looking for ways to cash in on 3D beyond the multiplex through TV broadcasts, airplane screenings, pay-per-view and DVD sales. That means bringing 3D off the big screen and onto the flat screen. And while the technology isn’t quite there yet for re-creating a 3D theaterÐlike experience at home, the next year will see a huge shift in that direction, as new home-oriented 3D technologies become available to consumers, and studios try to find ways to recoup production costs after a movie has left theaters.software and hardware.“3D-capable.” But without the proper equipment and content, this feature largely goes unused. Software company DDD sells an accessory pack that allows anybody with a 3D-capable TV to watch any 2D DVD in 3D. The pack includes glasses, an emitter that will sync the glasses with the TV and a DVD containing software that will allow home viewers to perform real-time 3D conversion of any 2D DVD or PC-stored media file. Samsung introduced a branded version of the kit (with only one set of glasses) this summer. In order to take advantage of these, consumers will need to hook their PC up to their TV, and play the movies through the computer’s DVD player.RealD technology, but they should improve as the technology becomes more sophisticated. “If the RealD 3D films are a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10, these come off as a 6 or 7,” says Douglas Hunter, vice president of licensing for DDD, the company that makes the conversion software for Samsung.
There will be two types of 3D content available for home viewers: movies shot and sold as 3D discs, and 2D footage that is converted in real time into 3D through sophisticated
Today, a large number of DLP and plasma TVs are being billed as
Despite some high-end DIY attempts like from the startup Encyclopedia Pictura, instant conversions of 2D content into 3D don’t look nearly as good as content that was made specifically for 3D using
Further down the line, TVs could come with built-in 3D-conversion technology, allowing for real-time transfer of any live television program. Hyundai IT makes and sells this kind of set in Japan now. Japan is also ahead of the game when it comes to 3D broadcasting. At least one Japanese TV station dedicates 30 minutes to an hour of airtime every night to 3D footage. To date, no stations in America have any plans for such broadcasts.
