Blu-ray 3D Specification Is Final: 1080p Through Goggles Coming Soon To The Living Room
Monday, December 21, 2009 - by Shawn Oliver
With just about everyone hopping on the 3D bandwagon (firms like Sony and NVIDIA included), we figured it was only a matter of time before the powers that be granted the 3D specification for Blu-ray the approval it needed to move forward as a serious, backed format. Sure enough, that is exactly what has happened this week, and just in time for the demonstrations at CES to begin in early 2010.
The Blu-ray Disc Association, which obviously oversees the forward progress of the BD format, announced that the Blu-ray 3D specification had finally been finalized and readied for release. According to it, the spec will "enable the home entertainment industry to bring the 3D experience into consumers’ living rooms on Blu-ray Disc," but we still have to wonder how many Blu-ray owners will be willing to watch films on their players with goggles. There's no question that 3D is being force-fed to consumers, and in cinemas, it seems to be generating mostly positive buzz. Getting the same type of hype into the living room could prove to be much more difficult, but having a Blu-ray 3D spec around is definitely great news for advocates.
The spec will allow for full 1080p content to be displayed in 3D, and it should work on any display (plasma, LCD, etc.) We're told that the paperwork should be printed and ready for release "shortly," though there's no word on how quickly manufacturers can wrap this stuff into their next wave of products. A few highlights are listed below.
