That's according to an article at CNET.com.
The web site reports that Mitsubishi recently hosted a technology exhibit for the media at the Westchester County Club in New York, the site of this weekend's Barclay PGA Golf Tournament.
During the exhibit, the company handed reporters a pair of 3D goggles and displayed several images on screen that showcased the special effect.
"Most of us were pretty impressed by the demo, which included clips from movies, commercials, and sporting events. There was real depth to the 3D and you got that whole feeling of things poking out at you from the screen," said CNET.
But the surprise of the event was Mitsubishi's disclosure that it was working on the 3D Blu-ray player and it may be ready by early next year.
Philips has stated that it plans to issue a 3D HDTV in the next year or so, a set that would not require 3D goggles to appreciate the effect. But this is the first mention of a set-top that would convert a high-def disc into 3D.
CNET writes that Mitsubishi would not discuss possible pricing for the 3D Blu-ray player, but it said it was discussing integrating the technology into a well-known game console. That would likely to be Sony's PlayStation 3, which now has a Blu-ray player inside.
