“3D display only viable by 2012” says Sony 

Every January, Microsoft, Google, Sony, Dell and a few others (sans Apple), get together to impress and be impressed by the advancements consumers can expect for the upcoming year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The largest consumer-technology trade show sees 2,700 vedours outplay each other over four days.  

Mega-display maker Sony and others, are looking to carve out more of the market that cheaper, good quality upstarts like Vizio are stealing. To do this, some are going all out to provide an image displayer that provides the extra dimension. The concept for images that portray depth was evident at this years CES where industry giants had an array of concept 3D imaging devices for games, TV and points-of-sale.  

The idea of watching TV without the TV was a hit at the CES this week in Las Vegas, but Sony says it’s only going to available by 2012 at the earliest. The third dimension in the home is only at concept stage but Sony are developing 3D-friendly players and screens for when the technology is ripe for consumers to taste.
