“There’s a market segment that’s desperately needing a little slice of Apple [AAPL] product marketing magic, and it’s 3DTV. Introduced with much brouhaha as a ‘must-have’ killer new feature, the technology has rapidly been relegated to just another spec, consumers like it, don’t love it,” Jonny Evans writes for Computerworld. “Does Apple have an iPad plan to make the technology interesting?”
“‘The fact that the iPad 3 is 3D is a dead certainty,’ a Hollywood insider told RCR Wireless,” Evans reports. “The report claims numerous big name studios are attempting to develop 3D content for Apple’s next launch. Foxconn sources have also claimed Apple is working on a 3D iPad.”
Evans reports, “Apple has filed a wide number of 3D patents, including for 3D operating system elements. The company has also been rumored to have been working on the development of 3D glasses. In the last few days Apple has said that the 3D Web graphics standard, WebGL, will be an option within iOS 5 for iAds.”
