IFA: 3D Everywhere

BERLIN--Panasonic unveiled two new 3D TVs with 42- and 46-inch diagonals at the IFA electronics show, and this opening slide at the press conference was emblematic of the entire conference. 3D TVs, projectors, glasses, and video cameras pervaded the show as electronics companies sought to encourage a new round of upgrades beyond the flat-panel TV era. Importantly, 3D often looks better on larger screens.

Panasonic also touted its consumer-oriented 3D camcorder that lets people record and play back 3D video.
