Video Interview: Bob Perry, SVP of Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company

In this video interview, which was recorded last month during the San Francisco leg of Panasonic's "Touch the Future" tour (which promoted the company's Viera Cast OTT platform), Bob Perry, SVP of Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company, provides an overview of Panasonic's connected TV and 3D TV product strategy. Topics discussed include Panasonic's product priorities; third-party service offerings that are set to launch on Viera Cast over the coming year; what applications might look like that integrate both 3D and connected TV; and more. Perry also explains why he is interested in reaching out to application and service developers among [itvt]'s readership, and invites them to contact him by email.

Please note that the [itvt] editorial team is on the road this week, so we will not be publishing news on a daily basis. However, we do plan to publish round-up/summary coverage of the latest interactive/multiplatform TV news shortly.

[itvt] Presents...

The TV of Tomorrow Show 2010

Tim Kring & Brian Seth Hurst

InteractiveTV Today [itvt], the first, best and most widely read news source on interactive and multiplatform television, is pleased to present the fourth annual TV of Tomorrow Show, March 3rd-4th (Wednesday-Thursday), 2010 in San Francisco, California at the famous Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

The first three TV of Tomorrow Shows were praised by sponsors, speakers, exhibitors and attendees not only as true experts' conferences that attracted a veritable "who's who" of the interactive TV industry, but as offering a thoroughly unique and enjoyable experience. We are working hard to ensure that the TV of Tomorrow Show 2010--which is already attracting an array of high-powered speakers and which will feature a line-up of fascinating entertainments--is even better.
