Now this is what we were expecting from the next generation of home video entertainment. French site play3-live recently conducted an interview with Manuel R. Gutierrez Novelo, CEO & President of TDVision Systems, in which the three dimensional Blu-ray experience is discussed.
"We're in the process to enable the PlayStation 3 to playback 3D movies using our TDVCodec and Blu-ray discs at our R&D labs since the PS3 is enabled with the BD2.0 version," commented Novelo. "Currently we have it working on a PC in 3D and after some changes on the firmware and installing some software for the PS3 we'll be playing 3D directly from the PS3."
We expect nothing less
"The objective (and what we are talking to major studios) is to encode their existing and new 3D stereoscopic content with our TDVCodec and have the movies available in every-shop everywhere in the world since one single Blu-ray disc encoded with our format has the 2D and the 3D version and can be played back in 2D over existing 2D platforms and in 3D where the platform is available (PC or PS3 with our firmware update and a Samsung / Mitsibishi / Kerner / TDVisor / Hundai monitor is connected)," he continued.
Obviously, 3D content won't be visible on every television. Novelo elaborated, "You can use the 3D TV from Samsung (both RPTV DLP or the their newer Plasma), Mitsubishi, Kerner electronics, IZ3D Monitor and Hundai. The DLP based TVs work under shutter glasses (by blocking the left and right eye alternatively) Kerner, IZ3D and Hundai use polarization glasses."
Here's the big question though -- when can the Blu-ray community expect to view this content provided they have a TDVReady HDTV? The answer -- not all that long. Apparently, this technology is set to hit "soon in 2008."
It's exciting stuff for sure. If you'd like to read the full interview, check out the translated version right here. Otherwise, stay tuned for any new developments on this groundbreaking technology.

wow sounds amazing, but it also sounds like another way to R#$% the S#$% out of our wallets...... my guess is it won't be reasonably priced. What with the specific monitor we would have to have.

this is very cool and evrything but why have they made it so you have to buy a new TV? I know the technology is different but it seems a little retarded to make people buy new TV's when they've probably already spent $1000+ for a shiny 40 inch screen, when they could just buy some special glasses for about $50 to $100. If you ask me this is only exciting news to someone planning on buying a new TV.

Cool feature but who is going to buy these movies when we don't and very unlikely going to own these TV's. The next TV I'll be buying to replace my current HD TV for will be Sony's OLED TV's when the prices are down to what HD LCD's are today, So quite a while then.

i thank this is kool i hope it dose take off i saw something like this in japan last year and it was kool. They demoed a cup of water tiping over and running water over a counter top. but if it dose take off it means having to buy a new tv but for me it means just going out and buying something bigger the only down side is i got to sell my new samsung. i still am worried about it not taking off we will have to wait and see what happeneds i just hope it dose take off lets get the new technogly out as fast as we can

Its a neat feature, but i'd hardly say its going to be mainstream for a very long time, not to mention you wont see this technology in games for a long time either because the way they get the 3D is encoding their video with a codec which blocks some of the image in your right and left eyes alternating it to create a 3D illusion. If we were to see this in game developers would have to use the same principle but it would have to be in-built into their game engine, no to mention by doing this anyone without a TDV TV won't be able to play the game, and as TDVision owns the rights to this technology and all games currently in production have no access to this at the current time, i don't think we'll see it within our games for a long time.

I currently own a samsung dlp tv and their 3d glasses and encoder box.you can order it of the internet for about 200 usd w/ aditional glasses @ 100 usd each...only drawback....you need a properly recorded program to get the best out of it and I only have my upscaled dvd's to watch....currently around 15 decent 3-d recorded programs.(dvd's)...google it....
