Mitsubishi develops 3D Blu-ray player for early 2008

A correspondent for Crave along with a few other tech journalists were given a surprise treat during the PGA Tour when Mitsubishi demonstrated advances in their 3D tech. The journalists were given 3D glasses that demonstrated their tech and later revealed that they have a Blu-ray player in development that can convert 2D movies into 3D “on the fly.”

The journalists were up at Westchester Country Club to cover Mitsubishi’s tech for the golf tour when they were given the demonstration.

The 3D glasses they were given were smaller than the ones displayed in the image. The 3D glasses were cool enough as it displayed material shot in 3D so you really get the feel of dimensions in the shots, but the kicker was the 2D-to-3D Blu-ray converter.

According to the journalist, Mitsubishi plans to release the new Blu-ray tech early next year and that they were in talks with a console manufacturer to incorporate it. He surmises that it’s probably the PlayStation 3, which would be the logical choice among the next gen consoles.

So will we see this 3D wonder tech from Mitsubishi anytime soon? If so, we’ll probably be hearing more about it. Watch out for updates.
