It took more than 15 years to roll out digital HDTV in the U.S. The transmission switch from analog was just completed this summer and TV manufacturers are already thinking of the next innovation: 3D-TV.
You recall from class....we talked about Hollywood's fascination with 3D movies.
Hitachi has developed a 3-D set that does not require the goofy glasses. The bad news: there's no word yet on when the sets will be available to consumers and at what price. It will also be interesting to follow the development. Will another company come out with a competing 3-D format, like BlueRay and HD-DVD or Betamax and VHS. Here's a brief entry for the Hitachi set.

Impressive! In my opinion, Hitachi will probably act as the guinea pig for the idea of a 3-D set, then if the product is successful other providers will most definitely get on board. Someone has to go first right? I think consumers will love the idea of a 3-D television set. It would be wonderful for kids and adults alike.
ReplyDeleteI think the 3d television set will be successful in certain areas of the world. I think it would be really popular in japan or china. There will still be television viewers in the US that will buy it, but personally I actually like 3d movies, I just hate having to wear the glasses they hurt my eyes
