Trends of general consumers in 3D stereopsis. Experiences of using 3D contents are spreading mainly in movie theaters and others.


For questions about wanting to watch 3D stereoscopic viewable content at home, in answer to want to use mainly movies and games.


The question and answer session done at the venue is as follows.

Q:
Kurata of 'Home electronics review'. Although it was possible to connect "G51Jx 3D" to 3D TV, what kind of terminal do you connect? Does Blu-ray 3D adopt a dedicated drive?

A:
Connect to the 3D TV with the HDMI 1.4 terminal. It is necessary to install the application "3DTVPlay". Blu - ray 3D uses an existing drive. If it is more than double speed, it corresponds to 3D.

Q:
Nikkei BP's Watanabe. What is the forecast for shipment quantity and so on?

A:
Mobile products rank fifth in the world. This year I will aim for the fourth place. EeePC in 2008 will be the first launch in Japan, but this year we aim for 500,000 units. There is no precedent for such technology, but we can not tell you, but we have quite an optimistic outlook for the current quarter, thinking it is 500 units for the first time, thousands for the whole.

Next we will deliver a photo review. stay tuned.
