We walked the show floor for countless hours and can tell you that just about everyone was showing something related to 3D at their booths. Most of these demos required a bit of a wait to experience them (thanks, hype), and everywhere you went people were talking about 3D."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1264124185.usr486.jpg" style="border: #d2d2bb 1px solid;" /></p><p>Other than the <a href="http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/f308/ces-2010-worst-ces-experience-ive-ever-had-96611.html" target="_blank">trials and tribulations</a>&nbsp;of&nbsp;the intrepid Jason Dunn, it seems like 3D was the story of CES.&nbsp;Engadget has a&nbsp;nice roundup summarizing all the 3D related news from CES. The technology appears real, with almost all the flat panel vendors displaying a working device. The Blu-Ray 3D spec has been finalized, the first couple of 3D movies have been announced, and Directv has announced their intention to launch a 3D channel this year. It seems like it is going to be an exciting year for fans of 3D.&nbsp; Lets hope it lives up to all the hype.</p>

I was thinking that the whole new explosion in 3D could have been a way for movie theaters to provide a more compelling experience over home theater setups, but that seems to have been a false dream. I do wonder how many people will buy into the whole 3D thing for their homes, but I guess it does mean that theaters will have to find other ways to draw viewers in.
