ZigBee 3D Sync will be a global standard for more convenient, flexible and enjoyable 3D HD viewing. This standard will dramatically improve your 3D experience by allowing greater freedom for personal movement without disrupting your 3D view when wearing 3D glasses.  Moving your head will no longer create a possible viewing disruption. Plus, it will minimize or eliminate interference from ambient lighting and make products more energy efficient and greener. The standard is being designed to support communication from 3D HDTV, and other video sources, to 3D glasses to give consumers the ultimate 3D viewing experience.

With ZigBee 3D Sync, 3D glasses will easily connect to a variety of videosources such as game consoles, Blu-ray players and 3D HDTVs and be assured of correct shutter manipulation. The standard will support variable display frame rates to ensure that the standard can be used with both existing and future display technology. Plus, the standard will support multiple viewing modes and automatically adjust 3D glasses when content changes between 2D or 3D.

Devices using the standard will also enjoy important green benefits. Its smart, energy-efficient design will help devices run longer on batteries, when compared to infrared technology. 3D glasses will require fewer recharges, allowing consumers to enjoy many more hours of 3D movies and shows without interruption.

ZigBee 3D Sync operates with existing ZigBee Remote Control-equipped HDTVs, set-top boxes and other devices.

ZigBee 3D Sync is being developed specifically for the ZigBee RF4CE specification.
