<br />
Consumers will likely see 3D LCD TVs that don't require people to wear polarized glasses out on global markets by 2015, according to a Taiwanese research group that showed off an early version of such a device this week.<br />
<br />
Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) displayed a 42-inch glasses-free 3D LCD TV this week, and the company can currently make them with screens as large as 65 inches, according to Stephen Jeng, director of ITRI's 3D System & Application Division.<br />
<br />
The technology is considered vital to getting 3D into more people's living rooms. Analysts say most people don't want to wear polarized glasses to watch 3D TV, and many balk at the price, up to $200 per pair for some of the glasses. The high price might make a person think twice about hosting a World Cup or Super Bowl party with friends.<br />
<br />
Jeng says ITRI's technology will be used in digital signs and 3D digital photo-frames initially. The main issues for glasses-free 3D TV are broadcasting, availability of content, and eye safety, he said. Small quantities of glasses-free digital signage and 3D photo frames are already available on the market, he said, but may yet take a year or two to take off.<br />
<br />
The glasses-free 3D LCD TV on display from ITRI this week showed pictures of objects that ITRI's software converted into a 3D image. The image was blurry and the technology appears to still be a long way from being ready.<br />
<br />
The research group is using parallax barrier technology to create the 3D effect on the TV. The TV was branded Chi Mei, from Chimei Innolux, but Jeng said the company gave ITRI a regular LCD TV to use for the show and that ITRI added its 3D technology to the set on display. Chimei Innolux is not making glasses-free 3D TVs.<br />
<br />
A number of companies are working on glasses-free 3D TVs, mainly in Japan and South Korea.<br />
<br />
The 3D TV concept took off early this year at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas as most major TV makers, including Samsung Electronics, showed off sets that are 3D-capable, meaning people can use them as regular high definition (2-dimensional) TVs or as 3D TVs.<br />
<br />
The global 3D TV market this year will likely reach 6.2 million units, according to market researcher Displaybank, with sales growing to 33 million units by 2012.<br />

Currently they are announcing the new HTC EVO 3D and publishing a comparison between it and the LG 3D Optimus. Both run Android OS 2.3 - what we find interesting (exciting) is that there is a growing buzz and competition in this space as more and more products emerge and more and more critics, pundits, and consumers enter the fray.KALIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212255486353665301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438579342912047109.post-71069607622533060212011-08-11T20:09:00.000-07:002011-08-11T20:09:37.108-07:00and yet another viewing option... VUZIX eyewearVuzix is now shipping their Wrap 1200 3Ds, a pair of $500 glasses (a headtracking model called the 1200VR is coming later this month) that displays a 75-inch virtual screen in front of your face and supports 3D content. You have separate focus settings for each each eye and these are as light and small as a standard pair of sunglasses.<br />
<br />
The Vuzix 1200s also allow you to wear your own prescription lenses under the device.<br />
<br />
I’ve used earlier Vuzix video glasses on flights before and, barring the dork-feel of wearing a pair of video glasses, the experience is fairly interesting and impressive. Now, however, with HD, 3D and a huge screen these things could, feasibly, replace a standard monitor in some situations.<br />
<br />
The glasses include a pair of headphones for audio and you can buy optional DVI adapters and light shields as well as a head-position sensor for more advanced tricks like real-time VR. The future, as they say, is already here. It’s just not evenly distributed. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIbZOdFfT78Y92NA0Eozf3Gp1NbqmzyCqu8CQUXTRDL3m9mk58q8E7tERWM7YZUrjGHf5A2L75VIzTbd2ZCUem0uL1FjQLPpL2S3zR8Nk1pPts2hyphenhyphenmNqMDTosptDTHmKD1kPY57O7Sc5s/s1600/wrap-1200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="215" width="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIbZOdFfT78Y92NA0Eozf3Gp1NbqmzyCqu8CQUXTRDL3m9mk58q8E7tERWM7YZUrjGHf5A2L75VIzTbd2ZCUem0uL1FjQLPpL2S3zR8Nk1pPts2hyphenhyphenmNqMDTosptDTHmKD1kPY57O7Sc5s/s400/wrap-1200.jpg" /></a></div><br />

All I can say is: FINALLY.<br />
<br />
At NAB when 3D was really new and all the rage there were all sorts of PASSIVE 3DTVs being shown - the models from JVC were amazing. It all looked bright and sunny for the future of 3D in the home, and then.... All the big electronics manufactures started bringing out ACTIVE 3D TV systems. Those of us in the know were aghast - the active shutter glass system is, and has always been inferior. The logic I believe, was that the active systems could be inexpensively retrofit to the new generation of high refresh sets, thus getting a jump on the 3D bandwagon without making it a vanity product with an unreasonable pricetag. This would (presumably) give them time to reduce the manufacturing costs of the superior passive system sets - passive is like you see in the RealD theaters - inexpensive lightweight plastic glasses with polarizing filters in each lens. Whatever the reasons were, we are finally emerging from the active systems days. This set of reviews show consumers' opinions of the new LG screen - and the feedback is excellent. A pricetag of $1600 is not bad either.<br />

Video content<br />
<br />
The system also has 3D movie and video playback capability. Nintendo has made deals with Warner Bros, Disney, and DreamWorks to deliver 3D movies.[91] Although no titles have been announced yet, the trailers for DreamWorks' How to Train Your Dragon, Warner Bros' Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, and Disney’s film Tangled were shown on the 3DS during the E3 Expo.[92] On September 29, 2010, Nintendo of Japan announced that it will be partnering with Fuji TV and other Japanese broadcasters to distribute free 3D videos to Japanese Nintendo 3DS owners.[93][94] On January 19, 2011, Nintendo of Europe announced at their press conference that they will be partnering with EuroSport and Sky 3D to bring content to the Nintendo 3DS at a later date in 2011. Richard Goleszowski is also locked to bring exclusive 3D episodes of Shaun the Sheep to European Nintendo 3DS market by the end of the year. During the 2011 Game Developers Conference, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime announced that the Nintendo 3DS will support live streaming from Netflix.[95] Also at the same conference, Nintendo announced a short-form video service for the Nintendo 3DS. This channel will offer a wide variety of video content, from comedy to music, all curated by Nintendo.[96] As part of an initial firmware update for the system, Nintendo 3DS systems in North America include the 3D version of the music video for "White Knuckles" from OK Go.[97]KALIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212255486353665301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438579342912047109.post-4087832720427382722011-06-30T10:36:00.000-07:002011-06-30T10:36:00.938-07:00Nintendo 3DS: Developers' Comments - E3 2010<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/a_OswVjTZvc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>KALIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212255486353665301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438579342912047109.post-16057279961287208112011-05-18T15:07:00.000-07:002011-05-18T15:07:59.347-07:003D TV shipments to soar 500 percent in 2011<div class="socialBadges socialBar"></div><div class="postBody"><div class="cnet-image-div image-REGULAR float-right" style="width: 270px;">More and more 3D TVs are on the way.<br />
<br />
<span class="image-credit">(Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET)</span> </div>Televisions boasting 3D capabilities will be far more popular this year than last, market researcher In-Stat predicts.<br />
According to an In-Stat report released today, <a href="http://www.cnet.com/3d-tv/">3D TV</a> shipments will be up nearly 500 percent worldwide this year, compared with 2010. In-Stat also predicts that sometime soon all televisions with screen sizes of 40 inches and above will come with 3D functionality.<br />
There are still barriers, though, the 3D TV expansion..<br />
Last month, market researcher NPD Group released findings on <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20052923-260.html">consumer interest in 3D TVs</a>. NPD found that 45 percent of people who won't buy a 3D TV cite price as the barrier and 42 percent say its the special 3D glasses. <br />
Perhaps of more concerns for 3D TV makers, those figures are up. According to the NPD, last year 37 percent of people who won't buy a 3D TV pointed to price and 32 percent blamed the glasses. <br />
But as In-Stat's study has found, consumers may not have much of a choice. Vendors are continuing to add 3D capability, especially to bigger-screen sets. And if folks want bigger screens, they will soon get 3D capability whether they seek it or not.<br />
In 2015, In-Stat predicts, a whopping 300 million households worldwide will have 3D TV sets.<br />

The company is showcasing both glasses-free 3D TVs and laptops here at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and while true glasses-free 3D TV is still more than a year from hitting the market, the glasses-free 3D laptops will be available later this year.<br />
I'm still not sold on 3D quite yet, mostly because of the lack of available content and the price premiums applied to 3D-capable products. The premise of not having to use glasses is compelling, too, but it'd be nice to see prices fall as 3D content becomes more commonplace.<br />
Toshiba's impending glasses-free 3D laptop is sufficiently impressive if you're in the market for such a product. While most glasses-free 3D technology has so far relied on the user staying dead-center in front of the screen for the feature to work, Toshiba has taken the novel approach of using the laptop's built-in webcam to track the position of your eyeballs and adjust the delivery of the 3D content you're watching accordingly. (<strong>More on Techland: </strong><a href="http://techland.time.com/2011/01/07/ces-buying-a-tablet-wait-until-spring-or-later/" title="CES: Buying a Tablet? Wait Until Spring (or Later)">CES: Buying a Tablet? Wait Until Spring (or Later)</a>)<br />
The result is a viewing angle of about 15 to 20 percent—still pretty narrow, but much better than having to keep your head perfectly aligned with the screen. There are a few drawbacks, most notably that only one person can watch at a time and the 3D effect isn't quite up to snuff with what you'd experience wearing 3D glasses.<br />
But while the idea of glasses-free 3D TV seems to present more of a challenge for users—people generally move around and sit in different angles when watching TV—the promise of glasses-free 3D laptops ought to be a much easier sell. If you're going to watch a 3D movie or play a 3D game on your laptop, you're probably going to devote your full attention to it and you'll be sitting right in front of the screen.<br />
Toshiba's glasses-free 3D laptops will be available later in the year, though pricing and more detailed availability information are still a while away.<br />

The majority of today's 3D efforts are aimed at the cinema and in the home. A wide range of 3DTVs are available from major CE manufacturers like Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony, and the amount of 3D programming is increasing. The next likely application for 3D technology is in mobile devices. The market for 3D-enabled mobile devices will be limited over the next year, due mainly to a lack of 3D mobile content and the increase in technology costs necessary to incorporate 3D into mobile devices. However, the market is poised to take off in 2012, and then reach approximately 60 million units by 2014.<br />
In-Stat's latest research is one of the first reports to discuss the opportunities for 3D in mobile devices. It will include a discussion on key 3D technology suppliers, as well as the different types of 3D technology available today. This research will also include worldwide shipment forecasts for smartphones, handheld game consoles, tablet PCs, notebook PCs, digital photo frames, and portable media players, and include In-Stat's expectations for what percent of those mobile device markets will be 3D-enabled. Finally, an in-depth discussion on key market drivers and challenges for 3D mobile devices is included.<br />

</div><span id="articleBody"> <div class="IntelliTXT"><div class="firstP">Apple has been granted a patent on a system it is developing to project a 3D image that can be viewed without glasses.<br />
</div>Multiple people can view the 3D content simultaneously and maintain the image even as they move around a room. A constant watch would be kept on the viewer's position and movement by the proposed device, which would work by changing its projection angle. That way, the eyes continue to receive the correct images.<br />
<br />
The patent application, filed in 2006, maintains there is an "urgent need is for an unobtrusive 3D viewing device that combines feedback for optimizing the viewing experience in combination with provisions for 3D user input, thus enabling viewing and manipulation of virtual 3D objects in 3D space without the need for special viewing goggles or headgear."<br />
<br />
The primary goal of the patent is to deliver "inexpensive auto-stereoscopic 3D displays that allow the observer complete and unencumbered freedom of movement." Apple further stated in its application that neither active nor passive 3D glasses have received widespread acceptance "because observers generally do not like to wear equipment over their eyes. In addition, such approaches are impractical, and essentially unworkable, for projecting a 3D image to one or more casual passersby, to a group of collaborators, or to an entire audience such as when individuated projections are desired." <br />

From the 1st annual mobile entertainment summit comes this startling comparative market pie: Mobile Video is predicted to become an $18.2 Billion industry by 2013 - roughly equaling the ($19.2B) mobile music industry and outpacing the enormous ($9.9B) Mobile Gaming industry by close to 2:1.<br />
<br />
Given the many autostereoscopic mobile devices coming to market, it seems that a lot of this market will certainly be 3D.

Nokia are (if you didn't know) the world's largest cellphone manufacturer. From their research center comes a very interesting whitepaper and code regarding their MVC codec optimized for H.264 dual stream (stereoscopic) video. Because it utilizes the H.264 standard the platform is backwards compatible with 2D (H.264) video as well as being applicable to all 3D devices, not just Nokia or mobile. Very cool stuff.<br />

November 4, 2010 - Continuing to innovate in the 3D television space, ESPN Research + Analytics unveiled today one of the most in-depth studies on 3D TV to date. Compiling results from more than 1,000 testing sessions and 2,700 lab hours, ESPN has concluded that fans are comfortable with the medium and even enjoy it more than programming in HD. <br />
<div align="justify" class="bodytext">The research was conducted by Dr. Duane Varan, professor of New Media at Murdoch University, during ESPN’s coverage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup at the Disney Media and Ad Lab in Austin, Texas. The research employed an experimental design approach including the use of perception analyzers, eye gaze and electrodermal activity. The study focused on a multitude of topics including overall viewing enjoyment, fatigue and novelty effects, technology differences, production issues and advertising impact. In all over 700 measures were processed during the testing. The Ad Lab used five different 3D manufacturers in its testing. </div><div align="justify" class="bodytext">“The results from this comprehensive research project support what we have said time and time again – fans have a higher level of enjoyment when viewing 3D. Plus, for advertisers, this study provides good news on the level of fan engagement when viewing 3D ads,” said Artie Bulgrin, senior vice president of ESPN Research + Analytics. “This study will help us continue to develop ESPN 3D as an industry leader for event-based 3D viewing.” </div><div align="justify" class="bodyheadliners">Key Findings:</div><div align="justify" class="bodyheadliners">3D TV ads can be more effective </div><ul><li class="bodytext">In testing the Ad Lab showed viewers the same ads in 2D and 3D. 3D ads produced significantly higher scores across all ad performance metrics – generally maintaining a higher level of arousal than the 2D counterpart. </li>
<li class="bodytext">Participants showed better recall of the ad in 3D: <ul><li>Cued recall went from 68% to 83% </li>
<li>On average, purchase intent increased from 49% to 83% </li>
<li>Ad liking went from 67% to 84 </li>
</ul></li>
</ul><div class="bodyheadliners">Fans enjoy 3D </div><ul><li class="bodytext">The results showed a higher level of viewer enjoyment, engagement with the telecast and a stronger sense of presence with the 3D telecasts.</li>
<li class="bodytext">Enjoyment increased from 65% to 70% in 3D while presence went from 42% to 69%</li>
</ul><div align="justify" class="bodyheadliners">Passive vs. Active </div><ul><li class="bodytext">With all things equal, there were no major differences between passive and active 3D TV sets for overall impact however, passive glasses were rated as more comfortable and less distracting by participants. </li>
</ul><div align="justify" class="bodyheadliners">Depth Perception </div><ul><li class="bodytext">The study found that there were no adverse effects on depth perception (stereopsis). </li>
<li class="bodytext">It appeared that there is an acclimation effect whereby participants adjust to 3D over time under normal use. </li>
</ul><div align="justify" class="bodyheadliners">True 3D vs. 2D </div><ul><li class="bodytext">Participants showed much more favorable responses to true 3D images than to 2D. </li>
</ul><div align="justify" class="bodyheadliners">About the ESPN 3D Research Study</div><div align="justify" class="bodytext">Conducted over the course of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, this is one of the most ambitious studies of 3D viewing to date. Participants were tested prior to 3D viewing, in test and post test to garner a wide range of information. Testing was completed at the Disney Media & Advertising Lab which was developed to better understand the emotional drivers of audience behavior and physiological reactions to advertising. The facility conducts year-round tests using the most advanced research techniques including biometric measurement tolls to evaluate engagement and emotional responses. This research was conducted by Professor Duane Varan, Executive Director and Chief Research Officer of the Disney Media & Advertising Lab, and his staff. Varan is recognized as a global innovator in iTV applied research and as one of the foremost authorities on new media. He is the Executive Director of the Interactive Television Research Institute and holds the inaugural chair in New Media at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. </div>ESPN 3D Media Kit here:<br />
