The Future of Video is 3D - Well Maybe Someday

3D is the current hot topic in hollywood and even within consumer electronics, but is the future now for 3D? I doubt it and just like HD I think it will take at least 3-5 years to reach any sort of critical mass if it ever does. What really is even more of a serious sea change going on right now is the shift to Internet-Enabled Televisions or IETV. According to a recent study by iSuppli while 3D will ship approximately 4.2 million sets this year IETV 27.7 million sets. As you see by the graph below the trend doesn't seem to be slowing down.

The true growth for the short term will be delivering your content to those 12' or lean back experiences. I am looking forward to the next couple of years!

My belief if you are interested is that 3D is a fad and a way to get more money out of us.
