    LG is showing a number of 3D content types in its booth’s ‘3D aisle.’

    Like Panasonic and Samsung, LG was showing a live DirecTV 3D broadcast.  They were also showing one of the first Blu-ray discs — Disney trailers encoded to the new BD 3D spec. Conference-goers can have their photos taken with the Fuji 3D still camera and see them immediately displayed on a 55-inch 3D LCD display.

    A small theater in the back of the booth is demonstrating the CF3D, a single lens 3D projector good for home theater and business applications (MSRP ~$10,000).  Behind the single lens are 6 LCOS chips, two lamps, and two engines.  A camera sensor on the front of the unit monitors the projected image and automatically adjusts the brightness and alignment of the left and right eye images.

    LG_1_EditedAll LG displays 32-inches or greater will be IP-enabled.  LG is demonstrating a Skype videoconferencing system that will be built into some displays and be an add-on option in others.

    Displays with the Magic Motion user interface allow the user to navigate menus and play games using a simple motion-tracking wand remote.  Some of LG’s Web-connected displays will access AccuWeather and adjust their menu background to reflect outside weather and daylight conditions.

    LG has agreements with DivxTV, Pandora, YouTube, CinemaNow, GraceNote, Vudu and others.  All of their Blu-ray players will access those services.
