FROM TWICE: Will set standards for home systems

By Greg Tarr of TWICE -- Video Business, 6/19/2009
JUNE 19 | FROM TWICE: The 3D@Home Consortium and Korea’s 3D Fusion Industry Consortium (3DFIC) said Friday they have joined forces to further the development and adoption of 3D technology in the home.

The alliance was to be given a formal send-off with a ceremony in Washington on Friday, attended by representatives of the Korean government and representatives of various consumer electronics manufacturers.

The groups said the partnership “will help facilitate the development of global standards that will lead to the successful commercialization of 3D home entertainment products and content, including HDTVs, set-top boxes, optical disc players, movies, games and television programs.”

I noticed Panasonic is still missing from that list of partners.

They could still muck the whole thing up if they insist on using their own technology.

Lee, I didn't see Philips name in the consortium which is kind of a shame as their 3D system doesn't require special glasses to get the 3D effect!
Do you think they will resume their interest in 3D or will it die on the vine like a lot of other promising technologies that were abandoned in the past due to either a lack of funds or, lawsuits over alleged patent infringement?

The Philips 3D system is supported by HDMI 1.4. As is the Dolby 3D system and the Panasonic 3D system.

The problem with the Philips 3D system is that is not as "wow" as the other 2 are and looks nothing like the Digital Cinema 3D system in use today.

We could see 2 different 3D systems be standardized - one for BD and PC's and one for HD "OTA."

They did this with HDTV. The 1280x720P system was supported by Panasonic and it was included in the specs.
