There’ve been a few 3D TVs and displays in the press recently, some requiring special glasses and some not, and today Mitsubishi, NVIDIA and Aspen Media Products have announced their collaboration on a home theatre system offering straightforward access to both 3D hardware and content.
Based on the Aspen Media Server, basically an HTPC with huge storage capacity and 1080p high-def graphics, the new range will use NVIDIA’s GeForce FX Go graphics (and specifically their 3D stereoscopic capabilities) together with Mitsubishi’s 3D-ready Home Theater HDTVs.
Mitsubishi will launch several new HDTVs this year, including three 73-inch models along with 60-inch and 65-inch sizes. All will feature both 3D and 1080p visuals. Meanwhile, Aspen will handle the HTPC and on-demand media distribution, including 3D content such as movies, live events, concerts and sports.
NVIDIA’s system, unlike say WOWvx, requires the viewer to don special 3D glasses. The GPU renders two separate views of the content, each of which is seen with a different eye.
None of the three companies involved have suggested an availability date or price for the technology or, presumably, package of different hardware that they’ll be putting together.
