Sure it's gonna be the next big picture for TV. But, focusing on the real behaviors, we can remark that in fact, 3D allows lots of new functions that were going, silently to converge: web and interactive TV, show games (vs individual games, like Wii performers did), theatre at home, and even replace some experiences you could only find in museum and tech. places (Disney resorts like). Is it tech that change the deal or is it convergence between some different experiences (PC, games device, pictures viewers, digital radios and music, movie theatre surrounds...)?
I think it's time to throw away our old black and white television...

You guys talk about convergence, and there are great examples of this being done in the digital signage arena, and specifically, an interactive wall I think at the PIttsburgh Airport created by Accenture. It allows travels to decide what content they want, and where to be displayed. With the "third screen" finally taking shape as a viable option, you will see 3D and 2160p resolution screens become the next big want from consumers, but will probably take a product adoption curve similar to Blu Ray and HDTV rather than the DVD player. It all comes down to content however, if the offering are quality enough to need to see it in 3D, then it will hopefully take off when price points come down. Remember when HD came out, you would watch basket weaving, if only for the clearer picture. Compelling content is what will drive 3D, and that will be to a smaller, more involved segment.

I think Chicago O'Hare has one of these Accenture walls as well. Not sure of the actual company behind the wall - Accenture is the client if I remember correctly. Very cool nonetheless!
