Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and XPAND 3D Join Forces in ‘Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative’
Panasonic Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Sony Corporation and X6D Limited (XPAND 3D) today announced their intent to collaborate on the development of a new technology standard for consumer 3D active glasses, under the name, “Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative.”
With this new agreement, the companies intend to work together on the development and licensing of radio frequency (RF) system 3D active glasses technology, including RF system protocols between consumer 3D active glasses and 3D displays such as televisions, personal computers, projectors and 3D theaters with XPAND active shutter glasses.
The standardization will also include multiple types of infrared (IR) system protocols between 3D active glasses and 3D displays, ranging from the protocols jointly developed by Panasonic and XPAND 3D*, to the proprietary protocols of Samsung and Sony, respectively.
So is this them coming to
So is this them coming to realization that having every brand and year TV use a different tech on $50+ glasses is effectively killing 3D adoption?

I’d argue that vendor specific releases and the lack of quality content is a larger barrier than incompatible glasses tech.
But then this is to be
But then this is to be expected with a new tech. The manufactures initially realser their own proprietary solution and then later agree to standardize on a format.
