Blu-Ray 3D Encounter

Blu-ray 3D is a media format that creates the illusion of depth-as if the image jumps from the television or a user feels a part of the scene-while using the FULL high definition 1080p quality of Blu-ray to provide an unmatched entertainment experience.

Special electronic shutter-glasses are required to properly view the video in 3D. In addition to the actual movies on this media format, the navigation options employ a three dimensional effect through menus and subtitles. The specifications were set in late 2009 with the media and devices first hitting the consumer market in early 2010.

Blu-ray 3D is currently a smaller niche market of products and equipment. The first movie title released with full specifications was Monsters vs. Aliens available exclusively with the purchase a Samsung 3D HDTV, Samsung glasses and a BD-C6900 player. In order to operate Blu-ray 3D, you must have a 3D-ready HDTV, shutter-glasses compatible with the TV and a 3D Blu-ray player as well as a high speed HDMI cable. A limited number of movies are available on the market for three dimensional viewing, but the number continues to grow.
