According to CNET, the company showed off a Blu-ray system using a "massive" Dell desktop and a large DLP display that enabled viewers to watch commercials, movies, and sporting events in 3D using special stereoscopic glasses. The content had been shot in 3D from the get-go, but Mitsubishi says it's working on a Blu-ray player that will be able to turn standard 2D content into simulated 3D -- and that it'll be out early next year. The company also coyly hinted that it's talking to a "console manufacturer" about integrating the tech into a game system. We'll give you one guess as to who that might be.<br /><br />[Image courtest of <a href="http://www.twice.com/article/CA6471173.html?nid=2402">TWICE</a>]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">*</p><p><a href=http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/home_av/others/0,39037627,62031258,00.htm>Read</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2007/08/24/mitsubishi-working-on-3d-blu-ray-players-displays/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/forward/972611/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2007/08/24/mitsubishi-working-on-3d-blu-ray-players-displays/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><p><a title="Sponsored By" href="http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=432220&cm_ven=360i&cm_cat=Media&cm_pla=engadget&cm_ite=rsslink" target="_blank">Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System</a> Packs the power to bring games to life!</p>
