Stratagem North - VOD Trends

Picture this, you plug in your laptop to your mega screen tv, and friends and family come over for an entertaining evening of 3D sports, news, concerts, movies, television shows, all from the comfort of your home, on your time. There's just one thing wrong with this picture. Those awkward 3D glasses. Personally, a bunch of people roaming around in those glasses, reminds me of something out of a 60's sci-fi movie.

3D is being pushed at the FIFA World Cup games as FIFA and Sony are showing 25 matches in 3D. Despite the prediction that 3D will take off, currently, in order to have the benefit of 3D, we must have a 3D television set, a broadcast carriers, and also those awful 3D glasses.

Content owners see the growth potentiial which will increase the number of carriers. However, until 3D can be viewed without the clumsy glasses, experts believe home viewing will not be so popular. I have to agree.

The 3D effect in our homes is predicted to become popular from 2015 as costs, technology and content continue to progress. Meanwhile, hang on to your glasses. The future generation will have something to smile about. -- Priti Ramjee, CEO
