3D TV, horse riding The wave of popularity of theatrical 3D releases and a supposed future of holographic communication, was at one point exaggerated to the point of much publications declared 2010 the “year of 3D TV”.
That lasted about four years. By 2015, 3D TVs had become a fading fad, and by 2017 the last few companies that made them, LG and Sony, were no longer making them. At the time, 3D TV was synonymous with Microsoft Zune and Betamax, the right ideas of which were dismissed by the public and inevitably derided as failures.
What happened to the 3D TV? Consumers are still moving towards larger TVs with 4K quality resolution. The ability to display 3D content added to the cost of those TVs and required a game console or Blu-ray player capable of playing that content as soon as the physical media began to degrade to transmit. streaming online.
And then there’s the glass. Whether they are passive or active shutter 3D glasses (rear glasses need charging), viewers at home have to wear them and keep an eye on them. They get dirty, they get lost, they don’t get delivered to you in sealed plastic bags like at IMAX theaters, and they’re expensive to replace.
A failure, right? But what if the timing is wrong?
One fascinating numbers from a report by research firm A2Z Market Research suggests that 3D TV could achieve other glory as a consumer technology. According to a summary of the report and one of the company’s analysts, the global 3D TV market is expected to grow by almost 25% from 2022 to 2028. The report includes consumer products. consumer and healthcare giants such as Sony, GE Healthcare and Samsung, but the company is releasing more market-specific data to customers; it will not define the range of sales figures that a 25 percent increase represents.
The company says this can be driven not only by movies and video games, but also by live sports, commercial and medical applications for 3D sets and the potential for glasses-free 3D displays— a larger version of what was used on the Nintendo 3DS (Nintendo announced in 2020 that it would discontinue the 3DS after years of the company not focusing on 3D features).
Research director Vaibhav Dubey, who worked on the report, says that a resurgence of 3D could start in tandem with VR in research and education, with different use cases than plodding. sit down to watch encore God of thunder in 3D.
If production scales up to reduce costs, TV manufacturers will develop new technologies that eliminate the need for glasses and new applications for 3D such as live sports and video games. combination… that can happen if consumers come to buy.
“Especially for live sports, there are a lot of people who don’t like going to the stadium. Disposable incomes are growing and people want to watch live sports from the comfort of their homes… that could hold promise over the next few years,” Dubey said.
