Samsung intros streaming 3D content

Samsung Electronics America last week said the Explore 3D app on Samsung's SmartHub-connected TV interface is now offering a mix of free streaming 3D HD content, writes TV Technology.

The Explore 3D app, which is accessible with a single click from Samsung's SmartHub interface, is offering streaming 3D movie trailers from DreamWorks Animation and other studios, music videos, educational content and full-length TV shows from Wealth TV.

Later this year, Explore 3D will also offer access to paid 3D content, including feature films and shorts, plus full-length 3D documentaries.

According to Reel Seo, Samsung will offer owners of the 2010 and 2011 3DTVs streaming free 3D video content. Plus, it has got plans to boost that into offering premium, paid content including film and what-not later.

Samsung is using 3D Active technology so it's 1080p per eyeball. That's going to chew through some serious bandwidth.
