Before the end of 2009, the James Cameron's Avatar rock not only the movie goers but also the TV industry. The 3D technology is now in the wish list of home entertainment.
Sony, IMAX and Discovery Channel are working together for 24-hour 3D network. Philips and LG are doing research so that we can watch 3D videos without the use of the annoying movie glasses that looks like 1980s fashion rather than a viewing gadget. Both of these will be available by 2011. Big names in broadcast industry namely ESPN, MTV, CBS, and NBC in partnership with DirecTV and Panasonic, are planning to launch 3D channel by June 2010.
3D TV has been around for quiet sometime but the early attempts of making TV 3D was stagnated by low resolution due to storage problem. Now with the use of Blu-ray disc which is capable of storing up to 100 GB, 3D TV will overcome this drawback. It can display a very vivid picture from the vast information stored in the blu-ray disc. 3D Blu-ray machines were backward compatible, meaning, it can read regular non-3D disc.
Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba released their first 3D Blu-ray player. Of course, you need a 3D compatible TV for this technology to work. Your PS3 will absolutely play 3D Blu-rays after firmware update. However, the need to use of active shatter 3D glasses halts the advancement of this technology to the market. It is hard to imagine a family watching a 3D movie wearing about $100 each for 3D glasses. This might be good for one or two viewers, but a pain for a family of about five and more members. Another major drawback of this technology, at least in 2010, is the availability of 3D Blu-ray movies. We cannot expect for every movie to be available in this format.
