Panasonic will be filming US Speedskating competitions and practices in Full HD 3D this year as part of their push toward the release of the Panasonic Full HD 3D Home Theater system later in 2010.
Panasonic’s 3D TVs are top tier based on what I saw at CES 2010. I expect their content to be solid once it hits living rooms and I’m sure Speedskating will be some great content to see in Full HD 3D.
More details on the US Speedskating coverage can be found in the press release below.

Stereo Vision is on the 3D content bandwagon with the launch of a 3D TV network, dubbed SVTV, just prior to CES 2010. They say that content should be ready to broadcast by Summer 2010.

Mitsubishi has been shipping 3D-ready TVs since 2007. The company has been so far ahead of the tech trend that some of the more recent developments in home 3D usage has surpassed the previously-released Mitsubishi 3D-ready TVs. Specifically, the development of a Blu-ray 3D standard left some of the older Mitsubishi TVs behind.
Mitsubishi has stepped in to the rescue of its faithful customers with a new adapter that will make those older 3D-ready models compatible with a 3D Blu-ray player. The Mitsubishi 3DC-1000 3D adapter will be available in late spring 2010. The initial retail price has yet to be set for the adapter; however, speaking with a Mitsubishi rep at CES 2010, I was assured that the price would not hurt too bad.

There has been some serious buzz lately that DirecTV will be launching an all-3D channel for subscribers in 2010.
Earlier today, DirecTV lauched a new satellite, dubbed DIRECTV 12 into space aboard an ILS Proton rocket. The satellite was successfully deployed and will serve to expand DirecTV’s HD capacity by 50 percent with more than 200 national HD channels.
Presumably, the new satellite will also serve DirecTV’s expansion in the 3D TV broadcast realm.
According the to the report, DirecTV HD boxes will get a firmware upgrade to properly display HD 3D programs. You’ll need a 3D-ready TV to display the signal as well. Expect several of those to be made announced at CES 2010.

Ubisoft has stepped to the forefront of 3D video games with the development of Avatar. However, the company has no plans of stopping there. Ubisoft believes in the future of a true 3D experience in video games.
