SI: 3D Coming To Many Sony Products, Including Digital Cameras, VAIO Computers

[Christopher]

Sony has presented some information in their Investor/Analyst meeting today that is simply stunning. They have outlined further their 3D strategy, and it is much larger than I thought. Originally, when Sony announced their 3D intentions, they had did it in a way that seemed like it would be somewhat limited to projectors, televisions, and other displays. But what I am seeing here in these slides leads me to believe that it will be an all encompassing effort.

In the slide above it is very clear to see that Sony is intending to bring 3D to their personal imaging line, including Cyber-shot cameras and their Alpha DSLR line. This would enable the creation of 3D photos. Sony also aims to bring 3D content to the home via the Playstation Network and the BRAVA Internet Video Link. There is also mention that Sony will release a 3D Blu-ray player (as expected, no word if previous models are upgradeable) and bring the technology to their VAIO Laptop (and possibly desktop) lines. Wow.

Juding from the presentation, these products and services should be expected throughout 2010 to 2012.

Sony is commited to providing a firmware update to the PS3 that will enable 3D gaming. Nice.

Sony also aims to have more than 3,000 3D projectors installed in theaters by the end of FY2010.
