Nikon Delays My Picturetown 3D

2011 is a big year for 3D. Movies, TV and even videogames are going 3D, but the one market that every manufacturer wants a piece of is that of user-created 3D content. Whoever comes out as the favored maker of 3D digital cameras is going to be sitting pretty.

Nikon Japan had plans for the release of a service called My Picturetown 3D that would allow subscribers to rent a glasses-free 3D photo frame and convert their 2D photos into 3D. Unfortunately, it looks like those plans have been delayed.

Nikon says Mypicturetown is still on the way, but will hit Japan in March, instead of January as planned. A delay in the Japanese release almost certainly means that we'll have to wait even longer before we see something like this in the US.
