Consortium targets 3d in the home

The US Display Consortium (USDC) and Insight Media have announced the formation of the 3D@Home Consortium.

The 22 international founding members of the Consortium were revealed at an opening meeting during the NAB conference and include Philips, Samsung and Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, along with 19 other members. “This strong international group of founding companies is a testament to the widespread interest and possibilities in stereoscopic 3d home entertainment,” noted USDC’s ceo Michael Ciesinski. “We expect many more to join in the coming months with our efforts to help speed adoption of 3d in the home to begin immediately.” The group is focused on three short term goals: creating and publishing technical roadmaps; developing educational materials; and developing and disseminating industry standards.
