According to market research performed by GigaOM Pro, the 3DTV market is set to boom by 2013, with an estimated 46 million televisions expected to be sold.

Alfred Poor, author of the report, said: "While the initial shipments of flat-panel 3DTVs will be small in 2010 due to premium pricing strategies by the large TV manufacturers, volumes are likely to grow quickly in just a few short years as manufacturers begin to implement 3D as a standard feature across their HD flat-panel product lines".

Poor also states that consumers and broadcasters will "convert large portions of their back-catalogues of content to 3D", as demand develops for all thing old and new in 3D. "Just as many consumers are voting with their wallets today for the 3D version of their favourite movies in the theatre, we expect over time that many will choose 3D for their favourite shows and movies at home as well", He added.

According to GigaOM Pro, Sony are the hardest workers when it comes to pushing 3D. "The company will provide a complete user experience with full HD Bravia in 3D taking centre stage. In addition to television, Sony will enable more devices, such as Blu-ray, Vaio and PlayStation 3, to be 3D compatible". Perhaps the future really is ready to jump out at us.
