Download the Guide as a PDF
January 7, 2010 LAS VEGAS
The excitement mounts. We've enjoyed tasty morsels of information via the blogosphere about the lavish 3D demos planned for the 2010 International CES in Las Vegas. And with the pump primed by 3D content in the movies--according to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) 17 percent of adults have seen a 3D movie in a theater in the past 12 months -- we can't wait to take that first glimpse, almost in childlike wonderment, of how our home viewing experience is about to be changed forever.
So now, only hours must pass before CES exhibitors unveil their goose bump generators amid the aroma of newly laid carpeting and the air-filling crescendo of cinema soundtracks. As we wait there is one thing we know with certainty: 2010 is poised to be the year when consumers finally can enjoy stunning 3D experiences across multiple entertainment mediums such as gaming, still photography and, of course, movies.
With a score of next-gen innovators presenting their goods and services in the CES Experience 3D TechZone, a must-see area for the acquisitive and the inquisitive alike, and with a wide swath of glitzy attention-getters trying to draw attendees into 3D-related booths elsewhere on the floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the choice of where to go and what to see can be a daunting one.
How do you sort through it all? Much like horse racing fans engaged in thoughtful study of the Daily Racing Form, show-goers will find themselves with a bag full of literature poring over pages and pages of stats, claims and visitor incentives.
This wealth of information can be confusing, so to help you handicap the CES 3D derby the 3D@Home Consortium, which is dedicated to speeding the commercialization of 3D technology and content to the home, has put together this Guide to 3D at CES, featuring brief descriptions of important 3D demonstrations at the LVCC as well as a rundown of the conferences, meetings and other events of significance at the show.
First, however, there are a few things you should know about the emerging 3D for the home market as well as the 3D hardware and software platforms soon to be available to consumers.
