Intel's 3D demonstration

3D has been front and center for CES 2010, and Intel didn't miss the chance to talk about its involvement in the format. Otellini told the audience, "I think that 3D is the next thing that's poised to explode in the home." Besides movie, sports, video games, and concerts are going to drive consumer adoption of it, he added.
