[Calgary Herald]
The “chicken or egg” battle raging over consumer adoption of 3D is dead.
Some say it’s been a bloody war.
There’s not a ton of great 3D content, so sales of 3D capable TVs or mobile devices were initially slow. Canadian broadcasters have experimented with 3D delivery, among them CBC and its hockey coverage or Discovery Channel with some amazing 3D documentaries, but few could watch.
Undeterred, manufacturing giants are moving forward into this new dimension – Samsung and LG are among those saying more than half the TVs they sell this year will support 3D. Mobile phone makers like Sharp and HTC are among those pushing 3D capable mobile phones, and 3D tablets will appear on the market this year.
So what’s everybody looking at?
How about Night of the Living Dead 3D!!
That’s just one of the titles being offered through a new 3D content library developed by Canadian company called SpatialView. …
3DeeCentral includes some 200 titles; both full length and short form videos are available, as well as photos and games. …
About 60 titles are expected at launch, including some IMAX 3D content, with plans for more than 100 titles by year’s end, including entertainment, sports and factual programming.
