My god, I saw 3d in imax once and it's freakin' insane.

This consortium is great thing. It will speed up adoption and offer something truly next gen. I'm pretty sure this is one of the bad things for Blu-Ray.

New technologies are booming and will give Blu-Ray even more trouble in mass adoption.]]>Apr 15th 2008 8:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/]]>Apr 15th 2008 10:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/
In fact, it would be in everyone's interest to come up with a home 3D standard that can work on Blu-ray, preferably transparently, but if necessary with a new profile definition. It's going to be at least a few years until 3D in the home even starts to really get any serious interest. By that time, Blu-ray will be well on the way to migrating from early adopter to mainstream status. A profile definition wouldn't be terrible, because people with an investment in Blu-ray software could just get a new player, if they so desire, and play back 3D titles along with the existing library of BDs and DVDs.

To me, the main barrier to 3D in the home are the required glasses. Unless they can get over that hurdle I don't think it will gain much if any traction.]]>Apr 15th 2008 10:54PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/
I remember walking around trade shows 15 years ago where various 3D displays were being shown. Nothing came of it then and I doubt nothing will ever come of it until someone produces a proper display that doesn't require glasses, or the viewer to be exactly in front of the set and exactly some distance away.]]>Apr 16th 2008 5:07AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/Apr 15th 2008 9:38PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/]]>Apr 15th 2008 9:58PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/May 31st 2008 7:36PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/Apr 16th 2008 3:47AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/Apr 16th 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/04/15/3d-home-consortium-aims-to-get-3d-in-the-home/
So no need to carry your own, they dont look stupid and millions of people wear some sort of glasses anyway. I can't really see this being a deal breaker for the technology.

How many noobs are going to raise this noob objection. nubs.]]>Jun 12th 2008 9:38AM
