The whole 3D thing is about to blow up -- literally. 3D-ready projectors are popping up all over the place. Sanyo is the latest to announce two, the PDG-DWL2500 and the PDG-DXL2000.
Each of these ultra short-focus projectors allows for 3D viewing, thanks to the Frame Sequential Display Format. Sanyo says that the short focus and compact size will make them perfect for museums and other commercial venues. However, you will need to add in Active Shutter 3D glasses.
The short distance is a big deal because it means bigger images in smaller spaces. These units use a new ultra short-focus mirror projection optical unit to make that happen. The end result has the PDG-DWL2500 creating an 80-inch image from only 12.6 inches from the screen. The PDG-DXL2000 can do the same 80 inches from 15.1 inches away. The maximum image size is 110 and 90 inches, respectively.
