Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Guess I’ve gotten in a rut or something.

Anyways, some of the stories I didn’t mention at CES was all the 3D excitement about new players and the PS3’s ability to have a firmware upgrade to support 3D. What does that all mean for us menu designers/encoders/authors? That’s a good question, one I don’t know the answer to.

However BluFocus will be hosting a 3D webinar explaining the workflow. Interestingly the software they will be using isn’t anything we use (CinemaCraft and Scenarist) so I’m very interested to see what their solution is. I haven’t heard a single thing from CinemaCraft or Sonic regarding 3D being implemented into their software, though I would guess it’s on the way. Maybe at NAB we’ll hear something. Of course 3D TVs and 3D Blu-ray players aren’t really even out yet, so we’ll see.

So if you are interested in learning how we are all going to have to do 3D at some point, sign up for the webinar. It’s on March 4th.

UPDATE (March 11, 2010):

I was actually very impressed with this webinar. I was expecting just BluFocus and NetBlender to give a sales pitch on their products and it was full of 3D information from THX, Sensio, TDVision, Netblender, Sonic (I was shocked by this), Sony, Trailerpark, Nvidia, XpanD, RealD, and lastly BluFocus. I was a little disappointed  CinemaCraft wasn’t there. I can honestly say I have a much better understanding of where 3D and Blu-ray sits at the moment.

If you missed it, check out this link and you can download the presentations from each company: http://mesalliance.org/home/3d-focus-presentations/

They sent an email last week saying they would have video of it as well at some point, so I’m not sure if there is more to come or not.
