In the games and entertainment section of TG Daily, C. Chanti breaks the very good news for those of us who are stereoscopicphiles (3D aficianados) . . . both Sony and Panasonic are setting up their own independant 3D content divisions . . .
a Sony subsidiary called Sony PCL has developed a system for 3D movies,
along with sofware to edit the content, in the hope it will create
commercials for 3D movie theaters. And Panasonic, said nikkei.net, will make 3D movies in a research institute it has in Hollywood. Japanese
firm Victor has already created a 46-inch LCD screen to display 3D
images but its sales targets are modest because according to the report
it will only ship 2,000 screens by March next year."
This is good on a lolipop.

Chanti is not predicting all fun and games and ends the piece with a bit of a let down . . .
have had something of a chequered career. Andy Warhol's Frankenstein, a
3D film, could be said to give you a headache, and not just because you
had to wear green and red spectacles."
Uh, the red and green or red and blue glasses – anaglyph – is not the best way to showcase 3D films anyway. Frankenstein is an awful film but it's awful with or without 3D. Warhol's films are self-indulgent arthouse confusions that appeal only to a small group of folks. Certainly Alfred Hitchcock films would be engaging regardless of the 3D (and YES, he did make a 3D film that actually works better in 3D than in monoscopic presentation) . . . albeit, the new circular polarization of digital 3D is loads better than anaglyphic presentation (anaglyphic works for TV simply because polatization was not possible on old CRT monitors but things are looking up as technology tackles the problems) or any of the other polarization or shutter systems.
All the best,
Brian
