3-D Kicks Into High Gear

Just this past week ESPN announced the premier of ESPN-3D this summer. Disney and Discover will roll out their 3-D channels in 2011.

The success of Avatar has been the catalyst. Now the movie studios are paying for the conversion of previous releases to 3-D format. It is not clear to me how this is done since the original filming was not done with 3-D cameras as was Avatar.

It appears that some HD TVs in the stores now are considered as 3-D ready. Obviously, these TVs are HD. It will be interesting to see when or if conversion devices will be available for purchase for the HD TVs we already own.
