THX and BluFocus join forces to certify the quality of 3-D content

THX and BluFocus, the latter of which is a Blu-ray testing company, are joining forces on a certification program for 3-D content. The program involves evaluating audio-video quality, Blu-ray player interoperability and even the effects of 3-D on viewers.
