One of the problems with the whole 3-D fad that I mentioned in 2010 was the fact that there as a lack of 3-D content available. Specifically, there is a lack of 3-D movies. What good is a 3-D high definition television set if there is nothing to watch on it. Now, if there was only a way to convert regular 2-D movies into 3-D, then that would be a selling point. Imagine taking the new Star Wars BluRay collection, which is in 2-D, and watching it in 3-D.

The Digital Bits is reporting that Panasonic has done just that. Panasonic is releasing three new full 3-D BluRay player models. The DMP-BDT310, DMP-BDT210 and DMP-BDT110 will all be able to convert 2-D content from DVDs and BluRay into 3-D by using “natural depth perception”. This is a user adjustable effect which will allow you to increase or decrease the amount of depth in the movie.

Each model also includes the usual VIERA CAST Internet options (Netflix, Amazon VOD, You Tube, Pandora, twitter, Bloomberg News and weather info), which now feature Skype (a Skype button has now been added to the players’ remotes). All have ultra-quick playback and the two two models, the DMP-BDT310 and DMP-BDT210, have built-in WiFi and a Touch-Free sensor to open and close the disc tray in a dark room.

Prices and availability are unknown at this point.
