Blu-ray movies offering 3D - Futures?

[runrdav]

I have both Blu-ray and HD-DVD. My general question is when will the movie industry provide movies that were made for 3D for the theaters start to produce them on Blu-ray? We currently have the technology with the big screen monitors and the quality video (1080P) to support a 3D movies. I know there are already a few 3D movies, however, all of the movies I've seen require specialized equipment and won't work with Hi Def (Digital).

Any idea's from anyone....or is it a pipe dream on my part?

Cheers

120hz TVs provide a sync port for LCD glasses to accomplish this, however they are nowhere near prevelent enough yet for any studio to make it.

search for a thread called 'to 3D or not 3D"

Didn't they already push out 3D DVD's I remember Shreak and some spykids movie in 3D. It used he same dark glasses and the ones used in the movie threaters.

totally different type of 3D. stuff doesn't pop out, it just looks like you can reach in.

Which 120Hz HDTVs do that?

My Sony Bravia KDL52XBR4 does 120Hz, but I haven't seen any ports on the sides or back of this TV made for connecting 3D LCD shutter glasses. Perhaps if they're making these LCD glasses to connect via USB they might be able to connect through the DMeX service/expansion module port.

I'm sure electronics companies could come up with some shutter glasses system via USB on a PS3 or Blu-ray player and have certain adjustment capabilities.

The 3D thing would also only work on TVs capable of displaying refresh in multiples of 48fps. 120Hz doesn't do that. The RealD process in digital cinemas runs at 144Hz to triple flash each frame.

Regarding the color 3D that uses clear circular polarized lenses in the glasses, you have to use projection on a silver screen for that to work. It won't work shown on regular TV monitors. Dolby3D is a totally different process that involves use of a spinning color wheel filter. The 3D glasses are fairly expensive.

Samsung started using them in last years DLP models. I think they started incorporating the tech into this years LCDs as well. I also believe Mitsubishi has some models now that have the 3D port as well

Mitsubishi is working on something 3D with bluray. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but let me find an article I read a year ago.

This wasn't the article I read, but I think this might be it. So it actually turns out, that its going to be a bluray player instead of some kind of add on.

Thanks for your input. Seems that we have the technology...however, we don't have a way to connect the dot's. It would be cool though to have 3D version that could be displayed on the home HI DEF systems at a moderate cost of purchasing the required gear.
