Although the Blu-ray Disc Association just released specifications for the Blu-ray 3D format, 3D-ready televisions and projectors are already in the market. Case in point, Digital Projection, a company that serves the commercial and prosumer market, has recently made available its Titan 1080p 3D projector.
Using the same 3-chip DLP technology as movie theater projectors, the Titan 1080p 3D produces a 1080p resolution image with a 120 megahertz processor built in so you'll get a full resolution 1080p image in each eye. Digital Projection uses Active 3D, which allows for a wide viewing angle at various heights. The unit still requires viewers to wear 3-D glasses when viewing content in 3-D. Screen size, however, is "the bigger the better." It's capable of projecting a bright 3D on an 18' or larger screen. Larger sizes are more immersive as they fill the whole area viewed through the glasses.
Digital Projection's Titan 1080p 3D retails for upwards of $85,000, depending on the brightness. Glasses retail for roughly $250 per pair, though discount packages are available. A 3D content server from Digital Projection plus eight pairs of glasses plus support will run about $40,000.
