In addition the major motion picture studios are looking for a way to leverage the Blu-ray software technology and robust storage capacity to make sure the hotter than hot category stays hot.
This look to the future in the present comes on the heels of the studios and manufacturers trying to also make BD Live, an embedded feature on all video releases. There are many industry experts who believe that BD Live is only a generational demographic with limited large-scale age group appeal. But 3D on TV has mass appeal.
Andy Parsons, senior vice president of advanced product development, at Pioneer and chief of the Blu-ray Disc Association, would neither confirm or deny that Pioneer was developing a 3D Blu-ray player, but did acknowledge that there’s a number of Blu-ray features on the hardware and software side that both the Association and Pioneer were looking at.
“Blu-ray has raised the bar and offered the manufacturer and movie maker even more room to enable technologies and to refine them and introduce them quicker than ever,” Parsons says.
A 3D Star Wars in movie theaters soon…maybe Christmas…a distinct possibility say many experts.
A 3D Stars wars in your living room? Well you know how fast some movie features are getting into DVD and Blu-ray…How about Easter?

I was part of a team that experimented with 3d VCR, TV and early DVD technology about 8n years ago. After only a week, several of our female researchers and participants came down with a slight tummy ache and dizzyness.
In addition, they also experienced some temporary balance problems,. When the scientist and CTOs daughter came down with same symptoms only a day later, the company stopped the trials.
Overseas the product trials lasted longer until the same results…almost all female responses were realized.
At that point and with subsequent research there is a motion and visual issue that certain kinds of 3D technology used to cause.
I have been assured by several sources that this known issue has been solved with better algorithms and improved motion simulators
I have heard of this, and I hope they will be lowering the prices of this gadgets into a more convenient price for consumers, so that it will be appropriate to be given as a gift.
This sounds like just the thing to make Blu-Ray a must-have. I already prefer it greatly to DVD, funnily enough especially for the lossless sound it offers. 3D would be a ‘no looking back’ advance, perhaps even on the scale of the introduction of colour TV.
I have been hoping that Blu-ray woud do the the 3D thing for a good bit now. I just hope it pans out.

I worked with NewSight back in 2005/2006. I have compared them with other 3D without glasses displays and they are supperior. It looks like we are getting closer to 3D in the home. Good work Keith and team. With all the work in 3D, increased bandwidth available to the home, the reality that we all worked for is getting closer.
