Earlier this week, I had a chance to visit the folks at USC’s Entertainment Technology Center, the so-called ETC@USC where I got a look at some of the cool, new 3D technologies coming to market. The demo takes on all the more significance given Sony CEO Howard Stringer’s comments today that new Sony TVs are on the way, along with a new 3D channel coming to Europe’s Sky.

David Wertheimer, a former Paramount Digital president, now runs ETC@USC, and while I’m saving the crux of our interview for our upcoming coverage, I wanted to share some of his comments about these trends: “I think you will begin to see 3D rolling out in a big way in 2010,” he tells me. “It will begin to make its way into the major retailers. You’ll probably see discs and other kinds of ways of getting 3D…I think you are going to see 3D migrating into the home beginning in the tail end of this year, but there will certainly be a big push in 2010.”
