3D Televisions in homes by 2010 !
What more can one ask for ? Watching Laura Croft Tomb Raider or the Premier League on a 3D television..
Sony will announce today that it is aiming to put 3D televisions in homes by the end of 2010.
Sir Howard Stringer, its chief executive, is due to announce that consumers will be able to buy 3D Bravia television sets, Vaio laptops, Playstation3 games consoles and Blu-Ray disc players that are compatible with 3D technology.
It will be an important boost for the 3D industry, which until now has concentrated on enhancing the cinema screen experience.
The burgeoning 3D market is poised to revolutionise the consumer electronics industry. British Sky Broadcasting has already announced plans to introduce a 3D satellite channel in the UK next year.
The electronics industry has yet to agree on a 3D standard format, however, leading to the risk of a format war.
Sony is planning to use “active shutter” technology, which uses electronic glasses containing small shutters that blink rapidly in time with a television image to create a three-dimensional effect.

kewl!!!!
Its possible with games I guess. NVIDIA Vision allows you to do that. Just wear the glasses, get a 120Hz Monitor, install the patch on existing games and you get the 3D experience in games like CRysis, Fallout 3 etc.
This wud b great :)
