Adoption of 3D TV not happening as fast as some experts predicted. Robert Simpson, President of Callaway Home Theater does not see demand for 3D TV increasing this year." I have not seen evidence yet that consumers will spend hours wearing 3D glasses to watch movies or sports in 3D." Callaway Home Theater has been designing and installing home theater and whole house audio systems in Atlanta throughout Fulton County for more than 20 years." Customers seem much more interested in ways to integrate home audio, video, lighting controls and home security together and eliminate the need to have numerous remote controls" said Simpson.
The price of 3D TV sets and wearing special glasses are the two biggest things standing between 3DTVs and mass consumer adoption of the technology, according to a report by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).Another concern is the lack of movies and television shows available in 3D according to surveys of retailers.CEA reported more than 75% of consumers surveyed said they have yet to watch 3D content on a 3DTV.“Those who’ve experienced it first-hand have a greater appetite for it,” said Shawn DuBravac, chief economist and director of research for CEA.While CEA is estimating that for 2010 only 1.1 million HDTVs will be 3DTVs (3% of the HDTV market), that number could grow to 28 million in the next three years.
There are so many options available to Atlanta homeowners who are interested in adding a home theater or converting their home to a Smart Home. Callaway Home Theater works very closely with their customers to understand not only the type of home theater equipment they want but also how their entire home comfort can be improved.

Home Security Spending Up
Affluent households spent more on home security in 2009 than in 2008, according to a new report called Home Luxury Report 2010, released in July.
“Spending on security went up from $1,562 on average [in 2008] (i.e. the amount spent by home owners buying in that category) to $4006 on average in 2009, up 156.5% overall,” said Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing and author of the report.
“[Home security’s] share of wallet more than doubled; that’s a significant increase at the luxury consumer level,” she added.
The report is based on 4,739 surveys of consumers with incomes above $100,000. The average respondent had an income of $220,000. The sample represents the top 20 percent of the U.S. income-bracket and roughly 22 million households, Danziger said.
The study looks at 22 different categories of luxury spending including: Art & Antiques; Kitchenware, Cookware, Cook’s Tools; and Furniture, Lamps and Rugs. Home Security falls within the Kitchen Appliances, Bath & Building Products category, which was up 32 percent.
Danziger calculates the “share of wallet” for each category and for products within those categories. Home Security was among the “biggest winners” in the share of wallet.
Affluent consumers spent more on their homes in 2009 because they were not relocating, she said.
“What the data indicates is that a lot of spending was done on major remodeling and the big categories that grew were home infrastructure, including air conditioning systems and home security.
“This means that people were investing in infrastructure, not just decorating,” she added.
