The 3D@Home Consortium sent key documents to be used in the creation of digital 3D standards by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) working groups.

The document ST2-01 3D Digital Interface Requirements enables the standards committees to have input from the wide cross-section of the industry which 3D@Home represents.

The documents ST4-03 3D Active Shutter Glasses Database and ST4-04 3D Passive Glasses Database assist the standards committees in understanding the range of products that will be interacting with the 3D systems.

Both documents were requested by CEA working groups as part of their discovery process before working on the technical details of the standards.

"This was a team effort that resulted in a good first step in CEA's efforts to understand how 3D glasses may be used in the home," noted Chris Chinnock, Chairman of ST4. "Developing a standard for 3D glasses will be challenging, but something that is desirable to help with compatibility issues. We will continue to work with CEA to support their standardization effort by providing information and recommendations from the experts who are members of the 3D@Home Consortium."
