3D television set hardware still has a ways to go , but Panasonic ’s visual modality is starting to congeal : It will require glass , and — at least for some content — it will be awesome . But waitress , immediate motion ! What will we watch ?
I spent a few transactions planted in front of Panasonic ’s modish 3D television ironware , with a similar demo reel to the oneMark saw back at CES , displayed with thesame massive applied science — Panny ’s “ 3D Full HD ” system , which unnoticeably flickers between left and right video data point groove to keep genuine 1080p content . Since then , their first 3D Blu - ray player has come out of its racing shell , albeit in a disguised preproduction form see above .

I came away from the presentation with a different feeling than Mark did — there were time when the imagery was unenviable , but it never finger like “ work . ” It was still clear-cut , though , that some types of content were n’t a gross fit for Panasonic’s — and probably anyone else’s—3D measure . cryptic snap where dead everything is in complete focus , for example , were a little disorienting , and hard to fix my eyes on . The preview for Up ! was chock - full of hokey deepness of field issue that , despite being programmed for 3D display , somehow feel a little off .
Live filmed events , be it hoops or the Beijing Olympics opening night ceremony , are where the organisation really shines . No doubt help by the fact that the tv set was the sizing of a upturned car , these shots actually feel immersive — the basketball bit candidly gives the touch of a courtside view , which is completely stunning . This is an effect which it at least seems like moviemakers ought to be able-bodied to double , once they ’ve gotten used to how to film for 3D.
Therein lies a huge , looming job : as it stands , the 3D contentedness start and stop at feature films , and specifically , Blu - ray . That ’s it . Pressed about the prospect of 3D TV depicted object , Panasonic ’s VP of Consumer Electronics Bob Perry , could n’t come anywhere near to making promises : from here , it ’s up to the content providers to settle if they want to give their client 3D. grant to Perry , they will , but the twenty-four hour period when cable system company or now - fledgling IPTV firms jump onboard is firmly in the future . For now , the mindset is a pot like it was for full 1080p picture back when it first hit the microscope stage : the display technical school is ready , but the content wo n’t be there for a while . Remember , there are still only a fistful of ways to get literal 1080p depicted object on your idiot box now ; 3D , at least for a few years , will be way more niche than a elementary resolution bump ever was .
That said , there ’s still time . Panasonic ’s ma on dismissal dates , since they have n’t even announced a specific intersection pipeline yet , but the storey ’s going to go something like this : They ’ll free their first undulation of 3D bent next class , all plasma , and all at about 50 inches and up , with accompanying Blu - ray players . And there will be Blu - ray motion-picture show to watch on them , but anything beyond that is totally up in the air . One way to attend at this is that 2010 will be the year that useable 3D hardware reach the mainstream ; another , that 2010 is the year that the substance - get world either choose to let 3D goggle box live on , or they do n’t .
