Samsung 3DTV owners in the US have another reason to stay glued to their TV sets, as spectacular 3D content is now available from the brand’s proprietary streaming content service. Beginning May 2011, 3D-ready LCDs and plasmas can easily access in a single click the Explore 3D application from Samsung SmartHub interface in which three-dimensional high-definition streaming content are available.

Initially, dozens of educational clips, music videos, trailers and complete TV shows from WealthTV are offered and available for free by just signing up to the service via the Internet. The company will offer paid content later this year, as it expands its catalog to include short and full-length movies, documentaries and other compelling 3D content.

With this service, the company hopes to further enhance interest in immersive three-dimensional images and increase its market share in the emerging 3DTV sector. Earlier, Samsung standardized its bundled offerings to include two free 3D eyewear for each 3DTV sold and slashed considerably its price for extra Active Shutter glasses.

For this streaming service, Samsung utilized Active 3D to deliver full definition images powered by Rovi Corporation’s RoxioNow platform with cloud-based metadata. This new arrangement extends the partnership between the leading consumer electronics company and the leading entertainment service provider: Samsung has also licensed the interactive program guide, Advertising Services and DivX technologies used in its consumer electronic devices from Rovi Corporation.
