Bluetooth 3D stereo glasses add new equipment for home wireless entertainment life

Home entertainment devices dominated by game consoles are moving towards the era of Bluetooth wireless connectivity, which not only breaks through the limitations of wired connectivity through Bluetooth technology, but also provides secure, stable, efficient, and robust wireless connectivity. ABI Research expects that demand for Bluetooth consumer electronics and home entertainment products will grow steadily over the next five years.

Recently, Broadcom, an affiliate of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), announced that RealD, a 3D technology licensee, has applied Bluetooth technology solutions to its Active 3D stereo glasses, using Bluetooth technology. Active 3D stereoscopic glasses not only create more freedom for the user, but also greatly extend the life of the battery in the 3D glasses.

Anthony Murray, senior vice president of CSR's audio-visual and consumer products business unit, believes that "CSR's Bluetooth 4.0 low-power technology gives our consumers an unparalleled user experience. Shutter glasses with Bluetooth low energy technology are lightweight Compact, easy-to-use, and has a lifetime of more than 100 hours with only a button cell battery. The energy-saving feature alone makes Bluetooth low energy technology a breakthrough in many technologies."

The Bluetooth 3D stereo glasses was also fully exhibited at the 2011 CES show.

At the CES, an international technology event, not only Bluetooth 3D stereoscopic glasses were displayed, but also other Bluetooth application products were displayed. The Bluetooth technology alliance member, CSR, demonstrated its use of the Bluetooth 4.0 version of the 3D shutter synchronization technology. Dr. Michael Foley (Ph.D.), executive director of the Bluetooth SIG, said: "Bluetooth technology is very suitable for the connection between home entertainment equipment and auxiliary equipment.

During the CES exhibition, Bluetooth Active 3D stereo glasses as a key promotion of companies such as Broadcom, CSR and Samsung, proved the Bluetooth technology in the home entertainment market. Ultimately, Vizio became the ultimate winner of the 2011 Bluetooth SIG Best of CES Awards for its 65-inch home theater-grade 3D HDTV; Samsung won the Best of Innovations in the CES video accessories category for its 3D glasses.

Vizio's bluetooth-enabled TV Bluetooth technology rides the consumer electronics market The Bluetooth technology alliance made organizational adjustments in 2010 and established five major markets for mobile phones, automobiles, medical and fitness, smart grids, and consumer electronics/home entertainment. The corresponding Bluetooth ecosystem groups (BETs). It is expected that these markets will take the lead in adopting Bluetooth 4.0 technology, in which major changes in the home entertainment market are happening quietly. LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp and Vizio have all introduced TVs using Bluetooth technology.

In order to meet the wide range of interests and needs of members, the Bluetooth SIG has also established a 3D stereo glasses/remote control team to promote the application of Bluetooth technology in the consumer electronics market. INTERLINK, LG, Panasonic, Playstation, Samsung, Sharp, Tivo, and Vizio have all introduced smart remote control using Bluetooth technology. According to ABI Research analysis, Bluetooth wireless connection chips account for almost 60% (60%) of all wireless chip production.

Craig Ochikubo, general manager of Broadcom's wireless personal area network business unit, said: "The development of Bluetooth technology is really exciting, especially in the consumer electronics field. Through Bluetooth technology, wireless connection life will converge, and Active 3D Stereo glasses and remote control via a smartphone are just one of the Bluetooth wireless life kaleidoscopes."

According to In-Stat, personal multimedia players (PMPs), game consoles, and gamepads are the main driving forces behind the growth of Bluetooth technology in the consumer electronics market. In 2010, game console equipment is the third largest application market for Bluetooth chips after mobile phones and automobiles. Playstation3 and Wii game consoles have adopted Bluetooth technology to ensure that players use the handle to maintain a stable and high quality connection during the game. At the same time, TV manufacturers also tend to use Bluetooth technology for remote control, set-top boxes (STBs) and emerging 3D accessories to connect smartly.
