"The Consumer Electronic Show, an annual showcase of the latest tech and gadget innovations, was all abuzz this year about 3D products. The biggest news maker? Televisions with 3D capabilities. It sounds like something you&amp;#039;d see in a science fiction movie, but it could be showing up on store shelves sooner than you realize. This trend is definitely helped out by the rising popularity in 3D movies. Until recently, I had never seen a movie in 3D, but since this summer, the hubby and I have gone to quite a few films where we needed to wear those special glasses\u2013which now look more like Ray Ban sunglasses than those cardboard glasses from the 50s with the red and blue lenses. And, though I enjoyed viewing Up, Coraline and Avatar with an additional dimension, I wonder how much fun it will be at home. I did get a taste of what it would be like at the Windows 7 event. One of the booths had a 3D version of the video game Batman: Arkham Asylum and I watched a gentleman play while I wore special glasses. I must admit, it was pretty cool to see the background come alive as Batman battled foes. Of course, the 3D effects were only possible with 3D-enabled glasses, television, game disc and necessary hardware updates, and this is where the rub is with 3D. It&amp;#039;s all well and good to experience 3D on your home TV, but much like HD, you need a few upgrades to truly appreciate it. Not only will your television need to have 3D capabilities, you need 3D glasses to view the effects, the show or movie needs to have 3D content and the TV channel or DVD player also need to be 3D ready. That&amp;#039;s a lot of elements just to experience the third dimension at home\u2013and only time will tell if consumers will place value on it. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
