Shiro Kitajima is president of a division of the Panasonic Corporation of America. He  says the company traveled to the U.S. to find out if American consumers will dig deep into their pockets for 3D sets.

“Our survey of 100,000 consumers shows that once they experience 3D they immediately see its value and they say they are willing to pay a premium to have it at home,” he said.

ESPN says it will launch ESPN 3D, the first 3D television network, with 85 live sporting events the first year, starting with the 2010 World Cup in June.  20th Century Fox says it will release the 3D version of “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” on Blu-ray. And DIRECTV, which delivers television programs by satellite, announced it will have 3D channels starting in June.
