"As 3-D versions of movies continue to attract an audience, it’s inevitable that film studios and consumer electronics companies want to duplicate the success at home. The time is at hand, with Sony and Panasonic recently announcing a new advanced generation of 3-D TV products that should be available within the next year in the United States.

'Technology exists today that can make great quality 3-D experiences in the home,' said Rick Dean, chairman of the 3-D@Home Consortium, a group of companies cooperating on strategies and standards for 3-D TV.

But up until recently, the production and viewing of video in 3-D hadn’t changed much since the 1950s when 3-D movies such as 'House of Wax' and 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' lured viewers away from their TVs and back into the theaters, along with goofy-looking glasses."
