  1. The Future of 3D: ESPN Knows

    During the 2010 FIFA World Cup this past summer, which drew 24.3 million viewers during the final match, ESPN conducted a survey asking viewers to share their thoughts about 3D versus HD stations. The result, though not as hotly contested as the match between Spain and Netherlands, clearly showed that viewers were not only comfortable watching sports in 3D – they even preferred it over HD.

    ESPN Research + Analytics, the sports network’s research arm, used an experimental survey design in its study, which included the use of perception analyzers, eye gaze and electrodermal activity. With these new methods, ESPN was able to include factors such as overall viewing enjoyment, fatigue, novelty effect and advertising impact into its results. For fairness among 3D TV makers, the study also included five different manufacturers in its testing.

    The results are said to reflect what has already been said in the industry – 3D TV-viewing is more enjoyable and does a better job of engaging fans in event-based

  5. The ‘Techiest’ of TV Remotes: The iPad/iPhone

    Welcome to the new era of channel-surfing! Two weeks ago, Comcast released its new Xfinity TV app for the iPhone and iPad, which acts as a remote control and TV guide for most Comcast-compatible TV boxes. The free app connects to your DVR or cable set-top boxes, and after logging in, you can manage each DVR unit or cable box you own. Then, after entering your zip code and choosing your channel offerings, the app loads on your mobile device an interactive, searchable TV guide, from which you can select the show you want to watch and your TV will either change to that channel or your DVR will set to record it.

    The remarkable difference between Comcast’s Xfinity TV app and a traditional remote control is that you don’t have to be in the same room as your TV to control it. Since the iPhone and iPad connect to the Internet, you can be sipping coffee at a café with your friends (or standing in line buying Christmas presents) while setting up to record the season premiere of your favorite show.

    Landing on Mashable’s list of Top 10 holiday gifts for 2010, the VIZIO XVT3SV Series TV is expected to be one of the, if not “the,” hottest-selling TVs this year because of its value and high-tech features.

But what really sets this unit apart is the accessibility to Vizeo’s Internet Apps and ability to stream media services like Amazon Video On Demand,
