Even though Sony will bring 3D to the 2012 Summer games. Panasonic gets in a bit early and plans on using the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver Feb. 12-28, to showcase their 3D technology. They will host the ‘Full HD 3D Theater Pavilion’ in the David Lam Park.

The showcase is expected to demonstrate new Panasonic 3D products including 3D-ready Blu-ray Disc players and a planned 50-inch 1080p plasma set and home-theater system.

Panasonic will underscore its sponsorship prior to the games by offering an online contest that will award the winner a trip to the games. The company is hosting a special Web site featuring profiles of athletes working to win a place in the games, with an opportunity for enthusiasts to share comments and observations. One of the fan bloggers will win a free Olympics trip.

Panasonic has been contributing to the Olympic Games with its state-of-the-art digital A/V technologies since the Calgary 1988 Olympic Winter Games. The company recently extended its global sponsorship commitment through 2016.
