3D movies exploded onto the scene with the success of James Cameron’s Avatar, and most of the titles that are released these days will come with 3D support. Apart from ticket prices that are double that of standard 2D movies, one consolation is we need not pay more for the 3D glasses itself. Well, it seems that ticket prices for 3D movies might continue to rise after Sony sent letters to studios, asking them to foot the bill for RealD glasses that might cost anywhere from $5 million to $10 million for each blockbuster release from May 1st next year onwards.

Hopefully studios will not pass the cost down to us in terms of increased ticket prices, and instead, they will learn to absorb that cost. After all, the global economy is not that rosy anymore, and any further increase in the ticket price is just going to turn moviegoers away fro 3D matinees, and dropping ticket sales might end up backfiring on the movie studios in the end.

How much are you willing to pay to watch a 3D movie?

A quartet of companies that comprise of Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and X6D Limited (also known as XPAND 3D) has announced that Royal Philips Electronics, Sharp Corporation, TCL Corporation and Toshiba Corporation have all together expressed support for activities taht involve the “Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative”. This industry standardization will comprise of different types of infrared (IR) system protocols between 3D active shutter glasses and 3D displays, where these protocols were conjured in a joint-venture by Panasonic and XPAND 3D, merging with proprietary protocols of Samsung and Sony.

Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, and XPAND did announce their intent to work together on the development and licensing of Bluetooth enabled radio frequency (RF) system 3D active shutter glasses technology, where among them include RF system protocols between consumer 3D active shutter glasses as well as 3D displays including televisions, personal computers and projectors, not to mention 3D theaters with XPAND active shutter glasses.

It is expected that the license program for the Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative will begin soon. 3D synchronization emitters, 3D active shutter glasses or Bluetooth chip devices for such products will be able to get hold of a license to begin working on and rolling out devices which will take advantage of Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative technology. Needless to say, the Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative will involve the use of a distinct logo to tell it apart from the rest, while making it a whole lot easier for consumers to recognize interoperability among 3D active shutter products.
