Both Hollywood and the games industries are attempting to cash in on the hype surrounding 3D. Sony is making a very hard push with its TVs and the PS3 and the company would even like to promote 3D messaging with Nintendo. Meanwhile, Nintendo is enjoying the limelight with glasses-free 3D gaming on 3DS. Sony has denied any attempts to implement 3D in its next PSP, but it would seem another major portable device has 3D support now: Apple's iPad.
A company called 3D Eye Solutions has announced its support for the iPad. "iPad will run almost all of the more than 225,000 apps on the App Store which 3D Eye Solutions can convert from 2D to 3D. iPad users can browse the web, read/send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos, play games, read ebooks and much more in 3D with 3D Eyes content conversions," the company stated.
"Our proprietary 2d to 3D conversion technology gives us and our shareholders tremendous opportunities to generate substantial revenues across various industries and on multiple platforms," stated Michael Gibilisco, CEO of 3D Eye Solutions, Inc. "With superior and widely compatible techniques, 3D Eye Solutions can turn 2D visual data into 3D images through a wide variety of platforms. The Company is implementing several new strategies in 2010 that will assist us in expanding the 3D Eye Solutions brand nationwide."
Apple quickly sold through 3 million iPads in 80 days in the U.S. and 3D would likely look pretty darn cool on the iPad's big, crisp screen. 3D Eye Solutions provides conversions for both 3D stereo (with glasses) and auto-stereo (without glasses). The latter will likely become far more important since the idea of wearing glasses all the time seems to be one of the biggest deterrent to 3D movies and games in the home (aside from the major upfront costs to purchase the equipment).
