The 3D effects in James Cameron’s Avatar was nothing short of groundhshaking, watch it in 4D. In fact, the groundshaking effects can take a realistic turn, quite literally, with the country’s CJ-CGV multiplexes tapping all five senses with moving seats, explosive smoke, water sprinklers and laser lights to immerse you in the world of Pandora. There’re even gusts of wind to blow you away, if the sci-fi storyline fails to do that. At US$15.80 a pop, it’s certainly a harder knock to your wallet than the standard ticket fee of US$6.90 in Korea. That apparently hasn’t stopped the novelty-seeking hordes of moviegoers. Though no word on whether this entails any actual 3D screening alongside the 4D.

The Blu-ray Disc Association released its finalized 3D specifications, outlining what to expect out of 3D Blu-ray in 2010. The specification includes full 1080p resolution, backward compatibility for both 3D Blu-ray players and the 3D Blu-ray Discs (meaning that both will play or be able to be played in 2D), and the use of a new MVC codec, an extension of the existing AVC. 3D playback will be “display agnostic”, meaning that, according to the Blu-ray Disc Association, the format will be compatible across “any compatible 3D display”. What exactly a “compatible 3D display” consists of is still a mystery, but a Blu-ray Disc Association representative said via a phone call that for the most part, you’ll need a new TV set to make this technology work. A few weeks ago, we reported on the PS3’s full-fledged leap into 3D gaming by 2011. At the time, we were uncertain as to whether the console would also be a qualified 3D Blu-ray player, but the answer has been provided: Yes, it can. The PS3 is included in the specification announcement from the Blu-ray Disc Association, which means the PS3 is perfectly suited to become a 3D platform in every respect.
