The 3D momentum is certainly picking up speed, and Panasonic are ensuring they stay ahead of the 3D game with plans to release a 3D Blu-ray player by next year.

Having recently overcome some technical challenges, Panasonic are now working directly with Hollywood studios 3D development teams.

The extra storage needed to accommodate the demands of a 3D image have been combated by a new compression codec being fitted, plus the 3D Blu-ray player looks set to have massive processing power – enabling GUI (graphical user interface) and 3D disc menus.

Panasonic are not just stopping with a 3D Blu-ray player either, they also intend to develop a Plasma 3D Full HD Home Cinema System, a 3D-ready digital cinema projector and a 3D-ready MPEG-4 high profile encoder!

It all sounds very interesting as well as being a 3D fans dream come true.
