3D Contents: Its Both Quality and Quantity That Counts

Posted In 3d TV - By Sovan Mandal On Monday, February 20th, 2012 With 1 Comment

A study by 3D TV Watcher was conducted amongst owners of the same for finding the positive and negative aspects of this technology.

Viewing 3D format was a new and exciting experience is what most of the respondents agreed to. They were however unanimous in declaring that there was a big lag in the availability of interesting content. This especially so, given the high price that 3D TV sets come for.

What the respondents told is that just the once in a while documentary that was shown in 3D is not sufficient enough to elicit interest in this technology.

To cater for this lag or lack in content, SpatialView is coming up with a library of 3D content. They have named this library the 3DeeCentral.

COO of SpatialView, Al Lopez says “One of the main barriers to 3D going mainstream is the lack of compelling 3D content” – which is exactly what his firm is trying to combat by adding 200 odd videos to its library, available whenever consumers felt like it was time to watch Night of The Living Dead in 3D, among other content.”

Sensio, which is another content provider has also come up with a demand and get 3D content set naming it 3DGO.

They have announced a bouquet of 60 titles in 3D for customers to select from. The list includes IMAX video also.

While demand goes up for 3D content, there is the inter-related doubt that crops up, and that is would this lead to deterioration of quality?

With the increase in demand there is a chance that what would be made available is just 2D content to 3D. The quality of such conversion work is not comparable with that of actually filming in 3D. With conversion works, it would just be some momentary 3D effects that would be seen and nothing much else.

So it is the quality also that one needs to consider when discussing the issue of quantity of the content.

    Quality is very important – not just the quality of the original 3D content, but the quality of the streaming methodology as well. Sensio’s 3DGO service claims to provide streaming 3D at almost blu-ray quality resolution. If true, then this could be the savior for 3D streaming. Current side-by-side methods for streaming 3D is just not good enough when the picture is inferior to that of 2D.
