CES: Alioscopy to show off 3D technology

As the CES 09 hype machine continues to pick up steam, CDFreaks was sent information from one of a handful of companies ready to showcase new 3D technology that can be used by manufacturers.

Alioscopy plans to show off new 23" and 40" 3D monitors that doesn't require viewers to wear silly 3D glasses to receive the benefits.  Alioscopy's ability to create screens that don't require 3D glasses means they can be used as digital signs in shopping malls, movie theaters, and other public places.  

"The 3D market is exploding with major film studios currently investing heavily in 3D stereoscopic film projects," Alioscopy CEO Philippe Roche said in a statement. 

It is expected 3D technology -- both for home use and for viewing in public places -- will grow in the future, as 3D is fine tuned to perfection over the coming years.

CDFreaks previously wrote an article when LG announced plans to release 3D TVs next year, and when Panasonic proposed the creation of a 3D Blu-ray Disc standard.  Samsung, Mitsubishi and Sony also have 3D-ready TVs in the works, with a handful of other manufacturers also reportedly interested in developing the specialized TVs.

Despite the cost of the TVs and rarity of content, the 3D market is expected to drastically increase as manufacturers continue to make 3DTVs that don't require viewers to wear special glasses.  Furthermore, even though 3D movies still are a small part of the overall movie industry, it continues to make money because the average ticket price of a 3D movie is $5 more than a regular movie.

I can't wait to see some amazing 3DTVs during CES next month!  We saw a couple of prototypes last year that showed great promise, but it's clear that the technology still has to progress further before it'll be good in shopping malls and movie theaters.
