Mitsubishi Developing 3D Blu-ray Player

Posted August 23, 2007 07:53 AM by Josh Dreuth

Mitsubishi is currently developing a Blu-ray player which can convert 2D images into a 3D viewing experience, on-the-fly. While 3D movies have been around for decades, they have never made it in to the mainstream, mostly because films are required to be shot for 3D. What Mitsubishi is attempting to do, is convert your existing 2D library to stunning 3D on-the-fly, and deliver that technology early next year. The technology works with current DLP displays, and any other TV which can output at 120MHz (120fps). The image is converted to 3D, and then output to your TV as two separate 60fps feeds which are then output from you display by alternating feeds. While no working product was available at the demonstration, the aggressive launch date suggests that Mitsubishi has had at least some success in the lab.
