NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 3doo, Inc., the world's first global 3-D media platform integrating and commercializing the mushrooming global 3-D content market, today announced a North America partnership with Panasonic, one of the world's leading 3-D television manufacturers, that will feature 3doo as a dedicated application on Panasonic's newest line of VIERA 3-D televisions in consumer markets in the United States and Canada.
Users are able to easily install the new 3doo application among Panasonic's other premium entertainment services such as YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and Hulu.
Today's announcement follows the successful March 27 launch of 3doo on Panasonic's European line of VIERA 3-D televisions, on which 3doo is currently live and pre-installed. Panasonic is among the world's top five manufacturers of televisions.
"Panasonic's decision to launch 3doo on its U.S. & Canada 'smart' TVs and deliver high-quality 3-D content to millions of television viewers marks an extraordinary next step in our company's growth model," stated Michael Stougiannos, CEO of 3doo. "With the push of just one button, 3doo will quickly and easily connect Panasonic's American and Canadian television consumers to eye-popping and ever-expanding 3-D content."

The 3doo media platform is the superior 3-D marketplace providing owners of quality 3-D content the opportunity to present, market and distribute their films and clips directly into millions of living rooms.
3doo plans to introduce 3-D commercials directly into user living rooms worldwide, creating a new sector for the global advertising industry.
3doo is also creating the digital space for "my3doo" 3-D social networking, to allow users to share their content and social networking activities in 3-D worldwide. A beta version of "my3doo" is currently available to Panasonic's VIERA television consumers.
"3doo continues to capture the imagination and viewing loyalty of young and innovative 3-D consumers and producers," Stougiannos stated. "With operations in the Unites States, Europe and Canada, 3doo is positioning to enter major markets in China, India and beyond, as 3-D televisions, computer monitors, smart phones, and digital cameras and recorders unleash a technological revolution in entertainment and other 3-D applications."
