Amazon launches 3D education site

SEATTLE Amazon.com announced that it has unveiled a new customer education center, Amazon 3D 101 (www.amazon.com/3d), a one-stop information and shopping destination for all things 3D.

According to the company, Amazon 3D 101 provides customers with centralized, easy-to-understand information and offers a lineup of 3D-related products, including 3D capable HDTVs, projectors, monitors, Blu-ray players and movies, gaming consoles and games, laptops and accessories.

“While 3D is on the minds of a lot of customers, many are confused about this new technology and what they need to do in order to watch full HD 3D TV or movies, play 3D video games or use 3D on their computers,” said Ben Hartman, director of home electronics at Amazon.com. "Our goal with the Amazon 3D 101 customer education center is to provide our customers with easy-to-understand information that will help demystify this new technology. We also provide product details to help customers figure out which 3D products best fit their individual needs. We will continue to expand and evolve this customer education center as new 3D products and content are released."

The Amazon 3D 101 site will feature educational videos, buying guides and discussion boards.
