3D Technology in Your Home?

When I think of 3D, I think of getting those red and blue cardboard glasses out of my cereal box and watching the comic strip on the back of the cereal box pop out at me. Things have really changed. And are still. Coming up in the next year you will be able to have the 3D technology you see in the movie theater in your home. Many major brands are slated to release this technology on LDC and Plasma TVs later this year. DPI is going to be offering a 3D projector for your home theaters. Most manufacturers are not giving pricing on this upcoming technology. Though, Mitsubishi and Samsung will be offering "3D ready" sets that will cost the same or not much more than their "regular" counterparts. Although they require an external box to create the 3D effect. And then there is the price of the glasses. Most manufactures require active glasses that start at about $100 each. Of course with 3D, you have to have everything to make it work, Blue-ray will be releasing players and even channels on TV in 3D format. Sports is a target media and there is word that the Discovery Channel will be releasing a 24/7 3D channel.
