Comcast Center HD Video Wall gets a dose of 3D for the holidays

Probably hoping to avoid our prediction of possibly getting old over time, Comcast is introducing a new wrinkle for the 2009 Holiday spectacular on its $22 million 2,000 sq ft high-definition video wall -- 3D. It's the first time this has played on the wall, with a 19 minute video (embedded after the break) complete with scenes of rural PA and downtown Philadelphia. Stop by the Comcast Center between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to grab some complementary 3D specs and check it out.

Ha!!! Comcast provided the picture. Can anyone report if the picture was heavily macroblocked?

we saw it today. WHAT A FREAKIN TIMESUCK. The video was totally lame. There was some crappy old footage of the nutcracker ballet, swan lake, some entry-level 3D flying scenes & more crappy dancing. They didn't even have enough dancers to fill the screen, so they cloned a few to fill the space. The video doesn't acknowledge the giant hallways cutting through the screen, so it's a major distraction. Great idea, miserable execution.
