The 3doo "Player App," currently accessible on over 25 million Samsung, LG and Panasonic TV households in over 150 countries, is being recognized for its "innovation and user-friendly qualities," according to Society Awards Chairman Buzz Hays.

"3doo's Player App is an elegant, easy-to-use app delivering a growing library of 3-D content directly into the comfort of the user's living room," said Ingo Nadler, President of 3doo. "As the only source for all 3-D content, the only 3-D content market place, and the only complete 3-D eco-system, 3doo is the solution for easily connecting tens of millions of 3-D TV consumers around the world with hundreds of 3-D media producers.

"We are grateful to the International 3D Society for its distinguished recognition of 3doo's breakthrough innovation and look forward to working with its members to further advance the global 3-D industry," Nadler stated.

The 3doo Player App is a unique cross-platform app that greatly facilitates access to quality and diverse 3-D content from a Smart TV. The 3doo Player App also includes a complete marketplace that targets 3-D content according to both national market and device.

The 3doo Player App dynamically generates channels and allows producers to distribute 3-D content directly into Smart TVs. Intuitive and elegant user interface enables the 3-D consumer to directly access 3-D channels and featured free content currently, with pay-per-view Video-on-Demand in the next several months.

The 3doo team developed the Player App as 3-D content for home television viewers was starting to build, but without 3-D broadcast channels and or an effective technical means for talented young 3-D film producers to get their content to interested audiences.

A great deal of design thought was applied to the Player App user interface, to provide Smart TV viewers with exciting 3-D content with as few clicks as possible. 3doo also devised the concept of a universal market place that connects producers and studios directly with owners of any 3-D device, independent of the technology.

In 2014, 3doo is planning to roll out "my3doo," a beautifully designed dedicated area within the 3doo Player App that will enable 3-D social networking.

The rapid growth of 3doo has been marked by the availability of the Player App from 5% of all 3-D TVs worldwide in 2012 to more than 60% in 2013. Since its launch in April 2012, the 3doo Player App has featured 2.5 million film views to date, with 1,500 new unique users signing up daily.
