Hi there any1.....since Sony claiming tat they will be launching 3D model for the FIFA world cup, i have been searching information for this new technology but unfortunately couldnt find any......

any1 have any information about this 3D model LCD TV/player or technology kindly shared with me here......thanks

The 3d will be not be a traditional broadcast and the consumer will not be able to watch this by subscribing to it at home.

The broadcast will be in sellected cities around the world and unfortunately Malaysia is not part of it.

Some games will be sent live to some 3D theatres and you would need to go there to watch it.

However they are recording a lot of games in 3D for later release on Bluray.

there is a lot of info on line about it
google "World Cup 3D" and "World Cup Fan Fest"

Little noob question.

Do we really need special 3D hdtv to watch 3D movie?I thought it is only about how they produce the movie. Can current lcd or plasma watch 3D movie with only the 3D glasses. For example I bought this movie "Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie", can I watched this on my normal plasma tv?

Thanks

i think can gua...... coz my housemate desktop oso can produce 3D movie... now waiting for 3D glasses.... hope can get it today

For 3d movies you will need 3 d glasses,3d tv and the channel or disc must also be supporting 3d....

3d TVs for consumer will be launched next year however for the world cup only in the US will provide channels supporting 3d.

For now...a 20 inch 3d tv costs like 3 k USD lol

Sony's launching 38 TVs *LOL*

http://gizmodo.com/5442019/sonys-bravia-le...d-wi+fi-abounds

yes you can watch it on any LCD/Plasma TV with the provided 3D glasses

also i understand that the PS3 Slim will be able to support 3D maybe with F/W upgrade, R&D is being carried out
trying to get the article

any source for this 3D technology for reading??

and isit really tat we must need to use HDMI 1.4 to be able to play 3D movies??

this year there should be some tv manufacture launching the new 3D ready or 3D model LCD tv......

and i read from some forum claiming tat to play movie in 3D, you will need at least a 3D ready LCD and a 3D blu-ray disc player with HDMI 1.4......any1 have any other info about tis??

http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/directv...coming-in-june/

direct tv will lauch 3D broadcast this year

still a need to wear 3D glasses???

i'm a little confused...in theaters, some movies are in 3D...the most recent being AVATAR, which is also shown in 2D.

so the cinema actually has a 3D projector? (if there's such a thing)..if yes, means this 3D technology been around long time ago...

if no, means the normal projector they use to show 2D movies also can be used to show 3D movies?

if that's the case, means normal plasma or LCD tv also can be use for 3D contents la is it? say if AVATAR is released on Blu Ray now..with 3D effect (maybe they package a 3D specs along with the disc) then i straight away can enjoy 3D la issit?

if dun wear 3D glasses, how can see 3D effect?

3D has been around for a long time.
Alfred Hitchcock even shot Dial M for Murder in 3D back in the late 50's or early 60's.

There are 3D experiments in japan that have 3D without glasses.

The new 1.4 HDMI 3D is a newer HD 3D format. There are lots of ways to do 3D on TV & film. The old red and green glasses will work even on a SD broadcast. i remember in Australia over 20 years ago a 3 stooges movie playing on Ch 9 and we all went and got the cardboard glasses to watch it at home on our SD tvs.

Watching normal TV or BD with 3D glasses does not 'magically' transform 2D movies into 3D unless u smoked somethingy b/4

i thought the next gen of 3D cinemas, LCD and bluray players dont need to wear glasses already, just with our naked eyes

if want to wear glasses, it really makes no, our existing LCD and bluray players oso can oledi, just like hanna montana, jonas brothers BD, correct....

thats y now they produce new LCD ( maybe they have different "screen" layers and 3D bluray players/disc ) to display it in 3D effect for us to view w/o glasses, next gen disc will potray 2 sided data side A (3D) side B (2D)

so if our TV and BD player not equipped... just flip the 2D version

This post has been edited by moomoos: Jan 7 2010, 05:39 PM

That is "old" type of 3D which create 3D effect by using 3D glasses that 1 eye is blue and another is red or something like this. If you use 3D glasses from Avatar, you will know that you wouldn't see the 3D effect from this movie.

The 3D glasses used in Avatar is future 3D glasses for new 3-D Ready Blu-ray players and TVs.

I rather wait for the REAL 3D...
where it's almost or rather like Virtual Reality
Imagine yourself inside the movie instead of still looking from the outside...

its highly possible M'sian model is a trimmed down model compared to UK or US or other '1st world' country. current lineup is the evidence.

seems there's no longer any HD ready tv's in the 2010 lineup...which is good thing..stops questions of HD ready vs FHD panels...

but only the VT25 series comes equipped with 3D tech...others no 3D...V series are premium series...now itself cost RM25k...with 3D might cost a jet fighter engine

G is targeted for hardcore elites...S is more likely to sell better...U & C series replaces X & C series, which are entry level models...

Cheapest to get big screen 3d is optoma HD66 projector. There is 2 types of 3D display, one is using polarizing glass and another is LCD-shutter glass.

that must be next next gen Virtual reality already.. if no need specs to see 3D..

mitsubishi are developing 3D display without the need of using specs but that is at least several years away from production

Okay, let's start with a 3D primer.

1) The codec to be used is MVC - Multiview Video Codec. It's a variant of H.264. Left eye video is encoded first and then the right eye video is compared to the left eye. The difference between the two is the differential data. The final data for that frame = Left Eye + Differential Data. That's why it's possible to deliver high quality digital 3D data, due to the processing speed of the decoder and other related equipment. The fact that the Cell can already decode 3 simultaneous H.264 1080p stream is what makes the PS3 capable of handling 3D BD. And because DVB-S2 uses H.264 for its HD signals means that Astro in the future can enable 3D HD.

3D HD is true HD full color format. It is not an anaglyph format!

2) 3D HD is format agnostic. That means it's not tied to any one TV manufacturer or 3D technology. Once decoded, it can work on ANY 3D HD TV or projector.

3) 3D HD being delivered is 1080p for BD. No word yet on how it will be for satellite/cable. It is NOT standard definition.

4) There are many types of 3D HDTV/projector that are being developed. The one's that is coming out soon by Panasonic, Sony and Samsung is the active shutter glasses. The active LCD glasses works by shutting one lens then shutting the other in rapid succession; this works because the TV will transmit the sync data needed.

The passive glasses works similar to the RealD and Dolby 3D digital cinema systems. The video is transmitted rapidly and using special polarized lens, the 3D effect is achieved. No word if anybody coming out with 3D HDTVs this way. In the movies, digital 3D is achieved using 3-chip DLP projectors.

Finally, 3D with no glasses. This is achieved using special coatings on the screen and rapid video switch by the TV. The only drawback so far is that it doesn't deliver as crisp a video as the two above methods. Another method uses single-user active head tracking. It tracks your head and layers the video according to the position of the viewer. Then there's the multi-user active head tracking, similar like the above but more complicated.


fuad

when it's out in the market then talk.. or else it's like 4 layer bluray.. several years away they say, since 2years ago

I prefer LCD shutterglass as polarize glass still give me some color bleed. Just watch avatar 3d and I feel that the color is not so vibrant. The solution now for 3D gaming is Nvidia 3D vision for LCD shutterglass (with 120hz display) and iZ3D 22" LCD monitor for polarize glass (anyone have a unit?)

CES 2010: 3D TVs on sale in UK by April

Watching World Cup in 3D and guess what LG is the first manufacturer to release this tech.

SOS

I'm also thought it is work like what you said......

even you tube is doing 3D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RFuRY7azgA&feature=related

notice the option under the player for "3d style"

actually TDK have a 10 layer blu-ray, but never seen any sign of it in production.

I give chance so say 4 lor who know maybe 2015 can buy it.... if 10layer may not even see the light of day..

I used my "My Bloody Valentine" 3D Glasses to watch those movie looks kewl.

Hope more horror BD might come with 3D some days

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJYB71yFseM&feature=channel

seriously... dont think i'm ready yet in that case...

so inconvenient..!

sorry for a noob question..
but where can i buy the 3d glasses? i meant the normal blue/red ones...?
anyhow, i dont mind to buy a polarized 3d glasses like the one we used to watch avatar at the cinemas..
plz let me know yea?
thxz..

I bought 4 pairs of good quality plastic frame red/blue 3D glasses from Amazon.com recently, $7.50 each

Like this http://www.amazon.com/3D-Glasses-Movies-Ga.../dp/B0035DRTJO/

It works with all red/blue anaglyph 3D movies and also NVIDIA 3D Vision Discovery for PC games.

But I only opened two of them to use, the other two still never open, just keeping for spare. You can PM me if you are interested to buy from me

Already pm u.

Added on March 10, 2010, 6:28 pmI see in news show sony lunch their 3D tv. But still we need 3D glasses. So no point to buy that one unless we can see 3D without glasses.

I think current HDTV also can support 3D if view with glasses.

The technology for viewing 3D without glasses is still very young, and very expensive to produce. It has it sets of drawbacks too, like you have to be in the middle of the screen, etc. You wont be seeing that technology soon yet.

The ones that will be coming out soon will be with 3D glasses. I've tried it before and it seems pretty good, but be prepared to spend a sum on it =D. You'll need the 3D TV, the glasses, and the bluray player. Also depends on content, but the potential is there. Its the beginning of a new stage in TV entertainment, but whether it catches up or not remains to be seen. But from what I see, i definately could get use to it =D.

TriDef + DIY specs = 3D effects~

Still need 3D TV right?

What is the cheapest 3D TV now in the market?

I believe that would be the Sammy Series7 Plasma.

How much is that?

There is software and hardware implementation I think. Having 3D TV is essentially using hardware while a few PC games can already do 3D using normal monitors with software. Of course hardware implementation is better but think TECHNICALLY the answer is no. But the TV makers are not gonna tell you that.

Both implementation need glasses. There is passive ie the red and blue glass and active ie shutter glass. Active ones are those that need electricity and review is that they are better cause passive basically is showing you half the brightness at half the frame rate.

And Nintendo 3DS is already 3D without glasses. so no need to wait till 2012 end of the world Main problem for this is viewing angle.

I don't intend to get a 3D TV soon. Jaws was in 3D also like 20 years back and what happened after that? Until they can get glassless implementation with good viewing angle I think it will be at best a niche if not a fad. BTW 3D is bad for eyes and people with health problems like dizziness, and especially bad for young children... for now

Wait till 3D tv without glasses in few years time, more practical.

I was planning on going 3D as well but then decided against it due to the limited titles available and the high premium on 3D televisions and the titles.

MVA is bundled in a starter kit which is over RM900+. If you want the title alone, prepare to pay more than USD$60-70 on ebay. Coraline 3D and Ice Age 3 3D is bundled again and you need to buy a panasonic tv to obtain it. Ebay has it for USD$150 each or so if you can get it for that cheap. The only affordable title is CWACOM and that's about USD$29. So not a good idea to get into it now. The retail versions of the bundled titles should be out in 6-12 months.

Going to wait till 2011/2012 for some standardization. Then we'll see. Right now, only the rich can buy it for fun and experimentation.

nope... simple 60Hz monitor will do~

TriDef 3D is a stereoscopic 3D (S3D) software right? How to watch S3D with anaglyph glasses?

Last time I remember around year 2000, TV3 showed Jaws 3D and only need to buy the red & green paper spec no need 3D tv oso. Same rite?

This post has been edited by zoolf: Aug 12 2010, 04:22 PM

Red/blue is a anaglyph glasses and it's old skool 3D. I got headache when watch anaglyph movie.
Right now many film industry using stereoscopic 3D (S3D) which is require 3D active shutter glasses.

BTW, from what i know, stereoscopic 3D movie cannot be watch with anaglyph glasses.

[/QUOTE]Hong Kong film-makers aim to be first in 3D porn

By Peter Brieger (AFP) – 1 day ago

HONG KONG — Hong Kong director Christopher Sun arranges toy action models in front of a massive penis-shaped fountain, the easiest way to explain his intentions to the multilingual cast of what has been billed as the world's first 3D porn film.

"I can't ask my crew to do this and the best thing is you can get (the action models) naked without any complaints," he told AFP at a secluded studio in Hong Kong.

The director is in a race against time to complete his 3.2 million-US-dollar film "3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy", which is due for release in May.

3D porn?

This post has been edited by minimize: Aug 18 2010, 03:20 PM

I diy-ed myself a pair of anaglyph specs~

TriDef 3D can convert all movies to anaglyph red/blue movie? Is it like Stereoscopic Player?

Stereoscopic Player is more troublesome to configure imo... I just install TriDef and get to experience 3D straight away without any tweaking~

Maybe red/blue glasses is TriDef default setting.
With Stereoscopic Player you can set whether you want used anaglyph red/blue or green/magenta glasses.

yea... but what I mean is with TD u can adjust the depth of the 3D effect~

Adjust the depth? sound great.
Actually i'm not interested with anaglyph movie anymore.
S3D movie is to far great compare with anaglyph in a PQ perspective.

no money buy 3D hardware for the pure enjoyment... oni can DIY a pair of anaglyph~

Wait for few more years (some source said within 15 years ), there will be new type of TV to replace current Full HDTV with 1080p resolution.

Their called the new type of TV as Ultra HDTV or Super Hi-Vision with 4320p [7,680 × 4,320 pixels (16:9) (approximately 33.2 megapixels)]



Forget about current 3D TV with 1080p. Their will also replace by this new TV standard.

Cabut...

wow, 'macam-macam ada' later in da near future...

Ultra HD already in trial for consumer in Japan.
One of LYN member are involved in testing of this technology at Japan.

Yap! 20 mins of movie with the size of 4TB!

it wil take 'ages' 4 streamyx 2 download tis file...

To enjoy our future TV, streamyx indirectly encourage ppl to buy original (or pirated?) and forget about download.

streamyx always suxx. If streamyx come out with same price like our neighbours broadband package, then we good

i can't imagine how is 15Mbps internet speed is?

bcos 'dah biasa' wit streamyx 1Mbps 'turbo speed'...

15Mbps means u can get download speed at 1.8MB/sec
1minute = 108MB
1hour = 6.4GB

Very fast huh..

Well.. toshiba just recently announce to sell their latest 3d technology.. without 3d glasses... Planning to release it end of this year..
Hmm.. interesting concept, is samsung, sony and pana gambled on the wrong technology..
Guess have to wait till end of this year...

From "http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2010/08/toshiba_sets_it_visionary_sigh.html"

I already experience 3D TV without glasses at LYP. The PQ is worst but I can see a depth in that picture.
With glasses, picture/image project from TV is like in front of your eyes.

Hmmm.. like that ka... well.. since my experience is only on nvidia 3d vision, i got to say. with glasses.. any angle u see the images still in 3d... n yep using the glasses feel like the image object is just in front of me...
But to me with glasses, its a bit hassle la, since me have only one glasses, other people can't join.. so me like syok sendiri je...

So,,, perhaps no glasses 3d, will make 3d industry to pick up... hmmmm

Actually how the output for 3D TV without glasses for consumer is still ambiguous.
Maybe it is still like I see before, but has to use optional glasses for more stunning 3D experience

From HDGuru:



For the full story, click here.

We don't have RealD installation in Malaysian cinemas primarily because the screen has to be changed to a silver screen. GSC and TGV don't feel they need to invest in 3D fully. So they use Dolby 3D instead because the Infitec technology does not necessitate the change of screens. However if their screen is not optimized, the 3D movie will look dark.

I prefer the RealD system which uses circular polarization of the glasses and the Z-screen. The same circular polarization is used for LG's CF3D projector (RM60,000) for home theaters. The projector is getting good reviews.

Incidentally those of you who have AXN HD and happen to catch the Sony Style TV show, the latest episode shows the amount of work that has to get done for 3D movies. It's very interesting how 3D adds two more technicians in the crew.

From the set to post, the 3D is being evaluated using circular polarized glasses. On the set, the 3D monitors used are JVC professional monitors using Xpol micro-polarizers; Hyundai/Arisawa is already making Xpol 3D LCDs for computer monitors. The Xpol tech divides the vertical resolution in half - from 1080 to 540) to deliver the alternating 3D pixels to the left and right eye. For post, the technicians are using digital projectors with RealD's Z-screen to get the full 4K resolution.

Yes i agree.. Watching 3D movie in malaysia cinema is just like watching 2D movie. Just like watch fake 3D.
Just animation movie look better in 3D.

From Optoma Europe:

What the 3D-XL adapter does is enable 3D-ready 720p Optoma projectors to be used with active-glasses IR systems. It has a connector for an IR transmitter. It will cost USD399 when it is released on January 2010 according to Big Picture Big Sound.

Another feature of the adapter is that it can separate the L-R video signals to individual L and R video signals. This will enable users to use passive 3D system instead of active-shutter system.

To do this, you need to split the 3D signal into two using a HDMI splitter. Then two 1080p 3D signals goes into TWO 3D-XL adapters. Using a MANUAL switch at the back of each adapter, the signal from each adapter will be dedicated to either L image or R signal. The 1080p L/R signal will then be fed into TWO 1080p projectors that MUST HAVE a polarizer over their lenses. The separated L/R signals are projected to a silver screen and by using passive 3D glasses, users can experience 3D HD.

The important thing to note about using this passive 3D approach (HDMI spliter, 2 adapters, 2 projectors and 2 polarizers) is that users can USE ANY 1080p PROJECTOR as the light engine.
One HDMI splitter = RM200.
Two 3D-XL adapters = RM2500.
Two PT-AE 4000 projector =RM16,000.
Two polarizers = RM200.
Total = RM18,900.

While it is not a plug-n-play solution (careful video calibration is needed), the cheapest passive 3D system available now costs RM60,000 (LG CF3D). So depending on the projector you choose, you can go as low as RM8900 (2 Optoma HD20s for RM6,200) for a passive 3D system or as high as RM18,900.

How about cost for silver screen?

---

Added on September 30, 2010, 6:04 am
Here are the images for the Optoma 3D-XL 3D processor.

That's probably under RM2000 if you DIY it, based on a user who experimented his own DIY silver screen using the LG CF3D. The 3D-projection-on-the-cheap system definitely need a user who knows what s/he is getting into. Unlike the LG CF3D or the active shutter systems by JVC/Sony, you need to turn off one of the projectors and possibly enable economy mode when you are watching 2D sources. The silver screen would be too bright to play 2D movies.

But for about RM10,000 getting a 3D projection system that can go 100" minimum is an incredible feat of DIY. Imagine watching Tron 3D on BD next year and then playing Killzone 3-3D at home.

imo it still to soon to have 3D tv,besides the high price.. as far as i know..there arent a lot movies or shows produced for 3d experience available for the time being..currently my plasma still gv me pleasure watching wonderful visual bluray movies..perhaps 3 or 4 years later la 3Dtv is buy-able.

This year, many movies already shoot in 3D and all animation movie right now also came with 3D.
Next year I think we'all have a lot of choice for 3D bluray movies.

Ermmm, I know tht those 3D glasses are costly , but can't they do away that and make it a new technology?

What do you mean with make it a new technology? 3D active shutter glass are already a new technology.

Like what? Bionic eyes? Every product you see in the market have been invented and then vetted through the cost of production and marketing. Don't simply suggest people invent a "new technology" when you can't even begun thinking what it could be.

didn't there's news about toshiba that made 3d tv without the glasses?

I wonder how they are going to do it?

Add a few layer of glass apart and make the TV thick like a CRT...or something else

Anyway, the active shutter glasses does appear OK to wear at first, but after 10 min...I get a massive headache, more pain than those old skool red and blue filters.

welcome to the club ha ha
i've read a before this that 30% of the population will get headache watching them

I think it depend on brand. I already test panasonic and samsung and watch it around 10 minute. I can see a flicker on panasonic 3D glasses and that will make headache, but samsung is great because i don't notice flicker at all.

Flicker may de due to out of sync with the TV RF.....

I am planning to do a bulk on 3D Active Shutter Glass for Samsung TV and also for 3D Active Shutter Glass for PC which support 120Hz 3d LCD monitor.

Anyone interested can just pm me.

If there is demand, i will start a bulk purchase.

Yes there is. It'll be launched in December. Price is around RM9000. The size is 20". Yes, it's meant for the rich who have no use for money.

Yes, the one that gave me a massive headache was Panny glasses..didn't tried the Samsung one though...cos' there was no Sammy 3D booth at that time.
