A 3D-enabled telly will be in every living room in just three years time, French game publisher Ubisoft has predicted.

"Ubisoft are a big fan of 3D," UK marketing boss Murray Pannel told Eurogamer.

"We were the first publisher to create a proper 3D game with Avatar last year. Ahead of its time in many ways because the technology was in its infancy and you couldn't buy 3D TVs at all.

"The truth is I think it is a technology that's coming. We can't ignore it. It'll start slowly this year. But like HDTV I wouldn't rule out the fact that this will be installed in everyone's living room in three year's time, and for us to be in a position to have content that could really look absolutely amazing in 3D."

Japanese consumer electronics company Sony will be praying that Pannel's prediction comes true.

The PlayStation 3 manufacturer went big on 3D gaming at E3 2010 last month, where it showcased 2011 shooter Killzone 3 to specs-wearing attendees of its press conference.

Some are sceptical of the tech, and are put off by having to wear special glasses while playing big screen 3D games.

Ubisoft, however, is confident 3D will be a mainstream success.

"That's not to say every game needs to be in 3D," Pannel explained. "We're showing Shaun White Skateboarding in 3D. We showed Avatar. We've got other games with 3D functionality built in as well. It's coming. It's not going to happen this year.

"For the naysayers, if you like, I would say, 'Just watch this space', because when you have global corporations like Sony pushing 3D as hard as they possibly can, Sky, equally, showcasing 3D content on TV, I believe it will become a much more important part of consumer electronics than a lot of people believe."

hahahahahaahaha, omg what a idiotic prediction. Correct me if I'm wrong but I doubt HD tvs are in every home and they think 3D tvs will be in every home sooner then HD? I don't know what Ubisoft is smoking but I know it will take more then 5 years for every home to have 3D tv.
 
I say even 10 years. 3D TV isn't that awesome.
 
I think HDTV will be every home when all the CRT Tube TV breaks since many people are too cheap or poor to afford HDTV. I'm stilling using Tube TV since I rather just spend my cash on something else and I'm not too picky about image quality as long as it does not have static and I can see the image. I am happy.

I think people don't like glasses since they are a hassle to own, get lost like the remote, fall off your head, and break after you drop or wear them too many times like reading glasses you buy from the pharmacy usually breaks after a few years or less if it's poorly made. Plus, imagine playing the Wii or motion controller while wearing glasses. Your glasses might fall off while you move your body very fast unless you are wearing 3D goggles with a rubber band like those swimming goggles.

In a few years holographic TV might come out for consumers which does not require glasses, but probably only movie Theaters, and rich people can afford it in the beginning.





 
Indeed, and next will be virtual reality like "The Matrix" or VR Troopers when Holographic TV gets outdated.



 
You can just buy a USB HDTV TV tuner and an Antenna for 50 dollars for your computer and watch HDTV channels on HDTV antennae channels or subscription HDTV channels on your High Resolution HD computer monitor. Most monitors these days have a resolution greater or equal to 720P which is considered HD.

I use a HD tuner USB tuner to watch TV on my computer although most cable channels in Canada are still standard definition since Canada is slow when it comes to TV tech.
 
I think if companies find cheaper labor and material costs then 3D HDTV will be in every home faster since with cheaper employees from poorer countries countries can sell stuff for cheaper prices since it cost less to make.

However, electronic sweatshops are kind of immorral since paying someone a few dollars a day to work in a sweatshop so we can enjoy HDTV is unfair. Their work is worth more then a few dollars a day.

I wouldn't be surprised, ;)

Also, I think that they'll have 3D TVs in almost every home in 3 years... It's possible...

no way, most people don't have HD right now. Besides 3D is not cheap and the fact you need glasses for it to work is a big thing. If you got a family of small kids having something like 3D glasses to watch tv with won't be a good thing.
 
I think 3D can be cheap if developing countries like Cuba, Mexico, etc make a 3DTV and hire cheap workers to build 3DTVs. But, no major store want to sell it since companies don't like buying stuff from companies which use slave labor, sweet shops, and have "opposing points of view like Communism or Socialism".

The Smaller HDTV which are 19 inches or smaller are found in many homes since they cost between $100-200 or less for use small HDTV if you buy Generic HDTV brands like Insignia, Dynex, or a unknown brand.

Indeed, but cheap labor countries may probably raise prices when they put many the American, Japanese, and Europeans companies out of buisness or at a point where the develop world can't compete with the low wages of Mexico and Cuba where some people work for dollars a day or less.
