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.
