Three-dimensional imaging technology: A revolution in the world of imaging

Digital CE development has been fueled by furiously rapid advances in semiconductor technology. In video systems centered around television (TV), digital image processing technology underpins all of content creation, storage, transmission, and display. Today, these systems have been able to achieve high performance economically because of the realization of leading edge semiconductor technology. Digital video processing technology and system LSI technology have been the driving forces behind the creation of 3D imaging systems, which until recently have been difficult to realize and now are offering a whole new passion for people throughout the world. 2010 has seen an overwhelming presence of 3D in TV and Blu-ray Disc™* players and recorders now available to the consumer market, making this decidedly the inaugural year for 3D. Technological innovations in the field of 3D imaging will soon bring about new applications hard to imagine today.
