TDVision demonstrates HD-3D TDVisor / TDVision applications at SID 2008

TDVision Systems has been pushing its mysterious TDVisor since just after CES, but now the firm is looking to get serious about demonstrations at SID 2008. Both the visor and a "complete suite of TDVision applications including the stereoscopic virtual world, the AlterSpace, Dejaview and the 3D media player" will be showcased, and even more interesting will be the demo "of the 2D and MPEG-compatible TDVCodec running on a Blu-ray Disc." If you'll recall, the TDVCodec (a stereoscopic 3D format) was designed to be backwards compatible with 2D systems, and it's suggesting that the same BD flick can carry the traditional 2D imagery as well as 3D scenes thanks to its technology. Now, all that's left to do is wait and see how fantastic the results really are (or aren't).

That's an old/recycled/photochopped pic. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

I'm interested to see how this 3D system pans out. It's very cool that it will be fully compatible with Blu-ray. I figured at the very least that we'd need a new profile definition to support 3D extensions. I'm glad there's an industry consortium that's going to be working toward a 3D at home standard, so hopefully they will select ONE from among what is sure to be a bunch of competing standards, so we can avert another war.
