Potential of 3-D TV has yet to be seen

by April Wilkerson
Published: February 5th, 2010

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Grammys and the Super Bowl have recently teased television viewers with three-dimensional commercials and programming, and manufacturers are promising 3-D TVs within the year.

If you’re an excited technology aficionado, get your goggles ready, but don’t forget the headache pain relievers. If you’re more interested in the future implications of 3-D technology, stay tuned.

Dr. Hakki Refai, chief technology officer for 3D Icon Corp. in Tulsa and a professor at the University of Oklahoma engineering department, said that for longer 3-D programming, such as sporting events, the headaches will be more painful and the goggles a hassle.

And whether people will rush out to buy 3-D TVs remains to be seen, said Jim Mason, vice president of technology initiatives for The State Chamber of Oklahoma. Many people are now upgrading to high-end flat-screen TVs, so they may not be ready for another significant purchase, he said. People also may not want to experience the dizziness in their own home, but prefer to keep it as a movie theater event.

Regardless, the 3-D technology that’s abuzz in the entertainment world may soon be replaced by “real” 3-D technology that will have implications for everything from medicine to airport security.

Refai’s company 3Dicon, is working on volumetric 3-D, which will eliminate the need for goggles.

With current 3-D displays, the eyes are focusing on an object, and the brain interprets the eye’s muscle data to understand the depth. That’s what causes the headache. But with volumetric 3-D on a large screen, the brain will perceive all features of 3-D just as if a person were looking at a two dimensional TV.

The resolution his company is working toward – 800 million voxels – will be eight times higher than what is available now in 3-D, Refai said.

“The potential of the display is huge,” Refai said. “We’ve still got a lot of work to do, but the ultimate goal is perfection. It will be helpful for medical scanners like CTs or MRIs so you can see the spinal cord or rib cage, or for any type of medical surgery. The doctor will not need to wear goggles – the image will be in front of him. It also may be used in airport security and air traffic control. It will be the real 3-D – no headache for the viewer.”

In the short term, grab the goggles and watch 3-D football as you can. In the future, watch for “real 3-D” to be changing more than our leisure time.

God bless you guys. I am sure that I will be wrong in a couple of cases but this mostly sounds like another 'Cha-Ching' for the registrars. The good one, 3DTV.com was registered in 1996! This isn't a new discovery. The train left the station long ago.

Good luck anyway (and I really do mean it)!

god bless us and every other domainer that has regged a name , of course as with every category there is hit and miss , it's good that you have at least some .us names , because it's not just about .com anymore , country codes are growing big time , so for me 3dtv.com.au would be the go ! but as i missed that one , i am happy to have my 3dtv.tv (transfer nearly completed) and my 3dtvs.tv plus hd3d.tv , and others that are in .com including sport3dtv, sports3dtv, music3dtv, pay3dtv, online3dtv, kids3dtv , sexy3dtv, sex3dtv, porn3dtv plus a few channels , 3dshoppingchannel/com and 3dmusicchannel/com and of course 3dtvadvertising/com

some of the people in this thread have started amazon sites and if they make a profit , well good on them , i think just don't die wondering is the most important , please remember this thread when my holographicsex and holographicmodel and hologramsigns are in vouge ! ........regards

hopefully by then i have sold a few of my 3d names ?? :yes:

There is always a certain amount of speculation when it comes to registerring domain names. Is there a chance 3D could flop? Of course there is! How likely is this to happen? Not very. 3D technology is nothing new, what is new is consumer 3D technology which is coming in the very near future. As with any new product I'm sure the first generation of 3D TVs will be over priced and underwhelming but give it a year or two and these will be flying off the shelves. Now here's the real question... when is the right time to sell these 3D domains? Well of course that depends on many things such as the domainer's eagerness to sell and current financial position.

For myself, I am not a full time domainer and I do not make a significant income domaining. I will be offering my 3D domains for sale right away and the price I will accept may be a lot lower than another domainer's price but I am an average person with some debt to my name and I am looking to improve my financial position sooner rather than later. Ultimately the sales will generate a profit which is what I am after. I am not desperate enough to sell my domains for dirt cheap but I am also not patient enough to sit on them and wait 5 years for an offer to come my way.

The one I will hold on to is 3DTelevision.ca as I think this is one of my best ones and based on my current pricing valuation model this one will improve signifiantly within 2 years. However, my other domains such as 3DReadyMonitor.com will not experience this same growth in value.

 

[spacey]

the good thing about 3dtv this time qround is the critical mass are ready to accept it, and the gaming community will embrace it , i was also happy to grab 3dgameglasses/com , i have had all my 3d names for 2-3 years now , because i was late to domaining i had to go forwards , i expect to have to wait a couple more years also , i guess i may have to wait a bit longer for my robot portfolio to mature ......LOL (true story)

 

[domainwhiznet]

Well, I guess that seals it.

lol I suppose all the HD/3D/Pr0n style domains have already been snapped up by now.. Wonder whats next... nature/wildlife? sport?

Surprisingly, there are still some available, see http://www.domainwhiz.net/search.php?keywords=3d

put it this way ........roboshop is listed as sold on dnjournal

3D TV: Is it closer than you think?

As you’ve heard, 3D TV was the star of the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show last month. Dozens of manufacturers showed products across the value chain, from video capture and production to transmission and display. Undeniably, 3D TV is on its way, and technologically advanced consumers will begin to adopt the 3D displays that will ship later this year.
Some service providers are moving aggressively to offer 3D. Most notably, DirecTV and Panasonic announced they are partnering to offer three dedicated Panasonic-sponsored 3D channels starting in June. To get to market quickly, DirecTV will use a side-by-side format that is “frame compatible” with its existing broadcast equipment, HD set-top boxes and digital video recorders, requiring only a free firmware upgrade. (The broadcast industry likely will use frame-compatible formats for the next several years until infrastructure is upgraded to support “full” 1080p 3D to each eye.) In addition to the movies, sports and other content on the three Panasonic channels, DirecTV is working with CBS, Fox, MTV, NBC Universal, TBS and others to offer additional 3D programming in 2010-2011.


Despite these and other announcements — and the success of “Avatar” and other theatrical 3D releases — some still view 3D as a gimmick that may not catch on. I’ve been hearing doubts from a few of those in the industry, including some service providers, such as:
- “The glasses look goofy; people won’t wear them for extended periods.”
- “Consumers won’t pay for the glasses … especially the active ones that cost $75 to $150 or per pair.”
- “A 3D TV is pricey … uptake will be slow.”
- “Some people — roughly 4%­–10% of the population — can’t even perceive 3D displayed on a 2D screen.”
- “Consumers won’t buy the equipment until the technology stabilizes.”
- “If the programming isn’t done well, people will get nauseous watching it.”
- “There’s not much content available.”


The skepticism is puzzling to me and others in the industry who are bullish on 3D. Based on my discussions with industry experts, here is my optimistic view on why 3D will become a powerful driver of consumer preference for content, equipment and service providers:

• The experience. We’ve all seen the surveys that roughly a third of consumers with HD sets can’t tell when they’re not actually watching HD content. People won’t have that confusion with 3D. They’ll know it when they see it, and they’ll miss it when it’s not there. Despite how impressive most of us find HD after watching standard definition for years, the change in the consumer experience from 2D to 3D is more like the leap from black-and-white to color than the step from SD to HD.
• Displays. The cost premium for a consumer to buy a 3D-compatible display (vs. an HD 2D display) may be a few hundred dollars at first, but that will vanish. That’s because manufacturers have been working to increase refresh rate, the primary technology needed to make 3D work well, in order to improve HD quality. In a year or two, anyone who buys a new decent-quality display will get 3D compatibility built in, just as 1080p has today become a standard feature.
• Glasses. 3D glasses may look goofy, but only if you’re not wearing them. Manufacturers are on a path to introduce glasses that are sleeker, lighter and available with prescription lenses. Personally, I don’t understand the fuss. I, like many people, wear glasses all day. As for the cost tradeoffs, consumers will be able to choose the 3D equipment and price point that works best for them. It reminds me of the initial HD decision of buying an LCD or a plasma display. If you can keep the room reasonably dark, want the best possible picture quality and have only a few people in your household, you’ll probably opt for a TV using active (shuttered) glasses. If you’re in a hectic household with lots of people and stuff stuck between the sofa cushions, then a TV using the less expensive polarized glasses would work better. Furthermore, the technology of auto-stereoscopic displays may even improve to the point where glasses are not required.
• Content. Availability of new, high-quality content is accelerating both in movies, due to the commercial success of “Avatar,” and in broadcast, stimulated by investments that Sony (with Discovery and ESPN), Panasonic and other manufacturers are making in the production business to spur adoption of displays. Studios are also making plans to convert existing 2D movie content to 3D.

3D is not a gimmick, and it’s coming to market more quickly than HD did. Consumer awareness of 3D is gaining momentum, thanks to theatrical, Blu-ray Disc and video game releases. 3D is an opportunity for video service providers to meet the needs of their most valuable customers, who will continue to pay a premium for higher-quality video. It’s also a necessity to stay ahead of competitors — other service providers and over-the-top video providers — in the never-ending battle to improve video quality. In a few years, a service provider without 3D will look positively black and white.

You may not be able to recreate “Avatar.” But Panasonic’s new 3-D camcorder—available this fall—will bring 3-D power to a single camera operator’s shoulder for $21,000.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Panasonic AG-3DA1
3D movie camera [/FONT] Panasonic figures its AG-3DA1 camcorder will enable 3-D production for plenty of applications—music videos, local productions and advertising, for example.

And since 3-D stormed the word at January’s CES Show, Panasonic has been hearing not just from traditional videographers but also from government and medical folks, plotting the 3-D documentation of activities like surgery, mid-air aircraft refueling, bomb disposal and robot control, according to Bob Harris, vice president of marketing and business expansion at Panasonic Broadcast.

Panasonic will demonstrate it at the NAB Show in April. Users who want to be the first on the block with the 3-D camcorder can lay down a $1,000 deposit, Harris said.

He promised a commitment to 3-D production at for both producers and home consumers. For example, a 3-D Blu-ray player is slated for availability later this year.

And the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory to lending its expertise to moviemakers with both encoding and authoring services.

“You can expect lot of content coming out in the very near future,” Harris said.

The key to the 3-D camcorder’s smooth function in precise synchronization between the two channels, Harris said. It records in 1080i or 720p at various frame-rates and on dual (left/right) SD cards, weighing in at less than 7 pounds.

It has dual HD-SDI outputs as well as HDMI 1.4.

Panasonic said that at NAB it will also show a new 3-D production monitor. At 25.5 inches in suitable for mobile production environments as well as the studio. It too is planned for September delivery at about $9,900.

First Samsung 3D HDTVs available for pre-order on Amazon.com
The good news from Samsung if you are interesting in 3D TVs: The company’s first models will be available in a couple of weeks, and aren’t priced in the stratosphere compared to its usual offerings. The bad news: The new sets aren’t what you’d necessarily call cheap.

Online retailers are already posting details about the new models, which comprise the C7000 line of 240Hz LED-based LCDs. The 46-inch UN46C7000 is available for pre-order at Amazon.com for $2,599.99 with a release date of February 26. Also available on the same day is the 55-inch UN55C7000 for $3,299.99. There’s also a 40-inch set in the series, but neither Amazon nor other retailers have it available yet. The prices are nowhere near the magic $1,000 price point necessary for mainstream success, but there doesn’t seem to be a huge price premium given the prices for Samsung’s non-3D 240Hz LED sets.

Of course, you’ll need the right material to make use of these TV’s 3D capabilities. While Amazon had posted the new Samsung BD-C6900 3D Blu-ray player a couple of weeks ago, it’s now off the site and it’s not available anywhere online for pre-order. I posted earlier this week that Sony’s 3D-capable Blu-ray players will be available soon, but they’ll require a firmware upgrade this summer to show 3D movies in 3D. In other words, there’s no rush to get these Samsung 3D sets on their release date, save for bragging rights.

Interesting thread. 3D is definitely here. I'm pretty sure my kids in 10 years time will say "Dude, dad told me we had 2D tv when we were little...how lame is that!"

Off the topic of TV and movies, still on original topic, I regged 3dVoIP.com some time ago, I think it may become an important technology for conferencing and games. Imagine a web conference or a multiplayer FPS game with 3D sound as well.

I mean, if you have 3D web video or 3D gaming, you gotta have 3D sound, right?

Also regged SurroundVoIP.com and some variations regarding 3d sound.

I see some very nice 3dtv/movie related regs in this thread by some keen domainers here, congrats

19.02.2010 Panasonic says it will win home 3D race

PANASONIC CLAIMS it will be first across the line with a 3D home entertainment system that it plans to launch in late spring, although it could be a photo-finish, as Sony is working to similar timelines.

At an event in Munich this week, Panasonic unveiled new products spearheaded by the VT20, a full HD, 3D plasma TV, initially available in 50 and 65-inch screen sizes, bundled with two pairs of active shutter glasses.

The DMP-BDT300 3D Blu-ray player will also go on sale supported by around 15 3D Hollywood titles, expected to increase to over 30 by year-end. Other 3D content will include an as yet unlaunched dedicated Sky channel, although the launch date is still to be confirmed, and 3D games now in development.

Sony will launch 3D LCD TVs and Blu-ray disc players, and upgrades to some existing Blu-ray decks and PS3s, to make them 3D-compatible.

No prices were announced by Panasonic, but only a modest premium is expected for the 3D functionality. According to Bill Foster, a trends analyst with Futuresource Consulting, the 3D chips only cost around $20 (€15). He expects active shutter glasses to hit a $99 (€73) price point.

TV industry exploring 3D game shows

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - A 3D version of "Wheel of Fortune" could be coming to television as game shows become the next form of entertainment to explore the technology.

A 3D clip of "Wheel" was screened Friday at an open house for Sony's new 3D Technology Center on the Sony Pictures lot. The studio distributes the veteran game show.

"One of the biggest challenges is keeping a game show fresh -- by changing the show without changing the game," said Harry Friedman, executive producer of both "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" "We do that with enhanced production value, such as set design. We typically do dimensionalized sets, which are made for 3D."

A timetable for a 3D version of "Wheel" is not in place.

The industry has been looking to increase the available content for 3D in the home in addition to boosting the slate of 3D movies. The Consumer Electronics Assn. predicts that 4.3 million 3D TVs will be sold this year, and 25% of all sets sold will be 3D-ready by 2013.

Game shows could be among the first programming to get the 3D treatment. Movies, of course, led the way, with sports on the move with upcoming events including stereoscopic production of this summer's soccer World Cup. A test of 3D golf recently was performed in Hawaii.

Growth in the 3D market has underscored the still-limited production experience and know-how in the professional community, which prompted the launch of Sony's 3D center.

Get 3D on your mobile phone

3D phone home

23 Feb 2010 | by Sylvie Barak | posted in Mobile

There wasn’t much at this year’s MWC that popped out at us, but a piece of tech from a little firm called Masterimage 3D did just that – with some ‘in-your-face’ technology that leapt right off a diminutive mobile phone screen.


Masterimage, based in Burbank, CA, makes what its marketing speak calls “next-generation 3D technologies” - effectively mobile 3D which can be viewed without those silly glasses.

The firm holds no less than nine patents in the areas of both stereoscopic and autostereoscopic (glasses-free) technologies, and was flaunting its latest 3D enabled handset across the Fira in Barcelona.


This TechEye reporter watched a music video in 3D which almost looked like having miniature members of the girl band shimmying away in the palm of her hand. The result was actually quite remarkable, if still a tad blurry round the edges.
Apparently the magic is achieved by the firm’s Cell Matrix Parallax technology, which allows for both portrait and landscape modes in 3D and which can also switch between 2D and 3D as desired.


“We’re in discussions with 3D content makers and developing a portal for delivery of content,” one of the company’s spokesmen told TechEye.
“Everything’s on the cards, tablets, phones, prototype TVs…” but, he said, “content is key and volume of content is still our biggest challenge.”
We ventured that battery life would probably also take quite a beating using 3D tech on a phone, but were told it made only a “nominal” difference.
“This technology is a leap beyond,” the spokesman added, telling us that because of the interlaced imaging, even frame rate was less of an issue.

All well and good, but why must we endure the nerdy awfulness of plastic glasses in cinemas then? Apparently it all comes down to cost. “You’ll see glasses-free 3D TV in the near future, but it’s just not practical in theatres because the screen size makes it cost prohibitive,” he said.
“It is cost effective to apply it to mobile handsets though,” he added, waxing lyrical about Masterimage’s special (and patented) manufacturing process that apparently allows for precise alignment between its 3D module and the display.



“Our equipment aligns each pixel of both panels with a maximum tolerance of two microns to ensure the highest manufacturing yield,” we were told.
Masterimage, which is currently demoing its “very light software” on a Hitachi Woo H001 phone, says it is initially targeting the gaming market, but we’re pretty sure it may find a firm following in the adult video market too.
And the firm isn’t ruling anything or anyone out. “We’re talking to everyone, we need a lot of relationships at this point,” the spokesman told us.
And as if delivering “real life on a screen” wasn’t enough, Masterimage says it also plans to allow punters to film their own 3D content on their mobiles. Watch this 3D space.

Are 3D Glasses Bad For Your Health?

Written by Seth Abramovitch | 23 Feb 2010, 9:20 AM | 2 comments

A funny thing happened on the way to the Vatican IMAX theater: Italy’s ministry of health confiscated 7000 pairs of 3D glasses from cinemas. And they pledge to snatch away more, claiming the glasses could easily pass around “hygiene risks” if not disinfected between screenings, and that they lacked tags proving they don’t cause vision problems.
That this sweeping health initiative should come so soon after the announcement of a 3D remake of Caligula by veteran Italian softcore auteur Tinto Brass is indeed suspicious — it’s perhaps the type of action taken by a nervous government after a presentation from public health officials on mass forehead-herpes outbreaks. But according to a new study from the University of California Berkeley, the Italians might well be onto something when it comes to those vision issues. And that’s something Hollywood would love to sweep under the carpet.
The study found what many 3D viewers already knew: the effect causes headaches and blurred vision. That’s because it forces viewers to focus on things in the foreground (which causes eyes to converge) and distance (which causes them to separate) simultaneously. The effect is called “vergence accommodation conflict,” and its unwanted side effects tend to be strongest in younger people.


An irate email to the Berkeley Board of Trustees from aspiring 3D-theater-monopolist and technological cheerleader Jeffrey Katzenberg is almost certainly forthcoming (“We’ve performed studies on hundreds of toddlers outfitted in tiny 3D glasses, and even after 70 straight hours of Monsters vs. Aliens, the findings have been utterly inconclusive!”). As for the hygiene issue, Movieline’s Special Medical Correspondent said the transmission of infection via unsanitized 3D glasses is “unlikely but possible.” So if you have some antibacterial wipes handy, it couldn’t hurt.

Port Washington, N.Y. - A new consumer study from The NPD Group has found that while consumers are interested in 3D TV, they still have some reservations about making a purchase right away.

According to the NPD's Snapshot Report: 3D Television, about a third of consumers were at least "somewhat interested" in having 3D capability on their TV, but many cited cost, content availability and convenience of watching in 3D as real concerns about making an investment in 3D TV gear this year.

The market research firm said the cost of a 3D TV and the cost of getting 3D content on their TV were concerns for more than 60 percent of consumers.

Some 64 percent of respondents cited the possibility of having to pay more for 3D content from television service providers as a potential negative, and 61 percent were concerned about 3D adding significant cost to the price of a TV.

The limited amount of content available was cited by 39 percent of consumers, NPD said.

Cost and convenience also came into play in terms of the glasses that major manufacturers will require for viewing 3D content. The inconvenience of wearing 3D glasses was cited as an inhibitor for 53 percent of consumers. 3D glasses would also add on to the cost of viewing 3D content.

"Manufacturers are counting on 3D to accelerate the replacement cycle the way HD did," stated Ross Rubin, industry analysis executive director at NPD. "Early adopters will look past significant price premiums and limited optimized content in the name of bringing home even more of the cinematic experience as they find 3D capabilities included among other premium features."

DisplaySearch, an NPD Group company, recently forecast worldwide shipments of 1.2 million 3D-capable TV units in 2010, with that number growing to 15.6 million in 2013, according to their Quarterly TV Design and Features Report.

Agreed, it is not speculation anymore, it is reality. Speculation at this time would be regging 4d domains.

No point! If we ever master the 4th dimension, (time-space), we can just nip back in time and grab any domain we want before it's registered, thus making speculation absolutely pointless!
