When the bulky wooden Black & White TV first released, it was a hit! People loved the new-found home entertainment. When the consumer market seemed to be going down, the TV companies needed something new to re-attract those customers, so the TV was cut down and the bulky became the not-too-bulky. This trend of reinventing the TV was and still is the only way companies are able to re-attract customers. So from the Black & White TV to the Colour TV to the Flat Screen to the LCD TV to the High Definition TV, the television sets have gone through constant remodeling. Now the time came for TV companies to once again reinvent the television.

In the CEATEC Electronics show in Tokyo, Panasonic gave a treat to the visitors by showcasing their Viera Plasma 3-D set, which attracted long lines of techies.Though the idea of the 3DTV is extremely innovative, one factor has to be considered that may not lead a customer to buy it. Basically we have to sit in front of the TV wearing those goofy 3D glasses which actually strain the eyes of some people and without them the screen will look horribly blurry. The head of research at Macquarie Capital Securities, Mr. David Gibson said “From a consumer experience standpoint, I am skeptical, because I can’t see consumers sitting at home wearing glasses, it’s a good idea but it’s a niche market for now.”The price is also one factor of consideration. Though neither Sony nor Panasonic released the prices of their new 3DTVs, Panasonic said that market research says a 50” model might sell for $2000 and 3D glasses $50 a pair. With the glasses at $50 a pair a family of 4 can buy a small HDTV with that money.
This new technology works by rapidly alternating between the left and right frames. The right frame will only be seen in with the right eye and the left frame with the left eye, to create an illusion of depth. The glasses sync with the TV over an infrared signal.A leader of Panasonic’s 3D team, Mr. Masayuki Kozuka said “We are serious about the future of 3D, we will not have succeeded until half of all TVs we sell are 3DTVs.”

Coming to Sony’s part in this 3D foyer, the company has also displayed 3D technology at the CEATEC Electronics show. They plan to induct this technology into Bravia TV sets and Vaio Notebooks in 2010. A Sony spokes person hinted that Play Station 3 consoles could also be released with 3D technology.
Coming away from the electronics companies, Hollywood seems to be the biggest promoter of this 3D technology. In fact Hollywood has been 3D crazy since the 1950s when the first 3D movies such as “House of Wax” and “The Man in the Dark” were released.
Alfred Poor, and analysts for the GigaOM Network of high-tech news Web sites, predicted in a recent report that TV makers could ship as many as 46 million 3D sets by 2013, adding that high sales volume would drive prices down.But I been recently hearing talks of 3DTVs which don’t require 3D glasses. If the companies can work out such a thing, I see big things for 3DTV in the near future.
