3D TV -- not much to watch

New York -- The problem for 3D television is not the health concerns reported by some consumers, an industry analyst said, but a lack of content to watch.
Media stories say consumers fear 3D-induced nausea, headaches and even AIDS, The Hollywood Reporter said, but President Jim Chabin of the International 3D Society told delegates to the 3D Experience gathering in New York, "There's absolutely no data at all that shows there is any problem with viewing 3D. But if you ask the public, this (AIDS) is one of their concerns."
Chabin said the problem for those demonstrating an array of 3D TVs and other home-entertainment systems at the 3D Experience is the lack of content.
The Reporter said just a few 3D channels have been made available, including Sony co-sponsored ESPN 3D and Discovery's 3DNet. A 3D version of Blu-ray Disc allows consumers to watch movie discs on their 3D sets.
