CES 2010: Nvidia and AMD to demonstrate 3D Blu-ray playback technologies

Over the last few weeks, Nvidia has successfully demonstrated playback of 3D content encoded with the AVC Multi-View Codec (AVC-MVC), the codec that is expected to become the foundation for how 3D content is encoded onto Blu-ray discs. Nvidia GPUs that can decode 3D Blu-ray content include the GeForce GT 240 (US$99), as well as upcoming next-generation GF100 GPUs based on the Nvidia Fermi architecture. This will allow consumers to build desktops powered by GeForce GPUs and Nvidia 3D Vision active shutter glasses for under US$1000 in total, according to Nvidia.
