During the PGA Tour event, Mitsubishi as the “official large outdoor video display provider” of the Tour, has showed some impressive demo. One of those is fancy 3D glasses (a little smaller than the ones shown in the photo), with a demo of some new 3D-imaging technology the company’s working on. The demo was run from a massive Dell desktop and output onto a large DLP set. In an effort to inject new life into the fading rear-projection category, the company’s pitch was that the 3D technology worked with existing DLP TVs and projectors (due to DLP’s native 120Hz refresh rate, which allows you to split it into 60/60 for 3D) but not with LCD and plasma displays.
The demo included clips from movies, commercials, and sporting events. There was real depth to the 3D, and you got that 3D-feeling of objects poking out at you from the screen. All the demo material had been shot in 3D, but the kicker to the whole presentation was that Mitsubishi apparently has a Blu-ray player in its labs that can convert existing 2D movies into 3D on the fly. Better yet, according to company representatives, it may be available early next year.
