Curt Thornton, President and CEO of Provision Interactive
Technologies, Inc. ("Provision"), a subsidiary of Provision
Holding, Inc. (OTCBB: PVHO), has commented on the announcements
from ESPN and Discovery, two networks planning to launch 3D
television channels.
Following the blockbuster success of the 3D film "Avatar," many
believe 3D is poised to take over the home market as well as the
cinema. But the adoption of 3D in the home may require convincing
viewers it can be as enjoyable as inside the movie theater.
Programming on these new channels will require special glasses to
achieve the desired 3D effect.
"Consumers seem quite willing to put on glasses in a movie
theater but it remains to be seen if they will wear glasses at home
or in other settings," said Mr. Thornton. "Provision's 3D
holographic display systems project full color, high resolution
videos into space detached from the screen, without any special
glasses."
The Company's 3DEO Kiosks, currently being deployed in retail
locations outside the home, use patented 3D holographic video to
draw consumer attention to featured products and are able to
dispense related coupons and in-store promotions. 3DEO offers a
compelling and relatively inexpensive vehicle to promote 3D movies
and TV to consumers without the use of glasses.
"Provision's technology can project images up to three feet in
front of a screen," said Mr. Thornton. "The 3D technology is
comparable to the 3D imaging seen in 'Star Wars,' 'Minority
Report,' and many other science fiction movies."
