DDD Group (LSE: DDD.L - news) , has developed software and hardware products that enable the viewing of 3D images without the need to wear special spectacles. The company has just signed a 3-year deal with nWave Pictures to covert a number of movies into its TriDef format. Could be one for the watch list.

Everything is heading down today...

Of course! I should have thought of that. The conditions pertaining today must be responsible for the falls over the last few years and recently!

Great news for DDD...sp will be zooming upwards.

ORANGE ROMANIA PREMIERES 3D SIM+ CARD

Santa Monica, California and Bucharest, Romania (December 4, 2006) - DDD Group
plc (AIM: DDD), the 3D software and content company, today announces that,
further to the announcement made by DDD on 30 October 2006, Orange Romania
('Orange') has launched SIM+, a high capacity SIM card that allows customers to
view a range of high impact 3D content on conventional mobile telephones. Orange
becomes the first operator in the world to offer its customers a way of viewing
stereo 3D mobile content on their telephones using the Orange-branded 3D glasses
that are included with the SIM+ package.



SIM+ is a new generation of SIM card manufactured by Sagem Orga that includes
multimedia content stored on the 128 MB flash memory card. The 3D content was
produced by DDD and includes popular mobile content from the Jamba and Jamster
brands that has been converted to 3D by DDD. The SIM+ 3D content comprises six
still images, five multimedia messaging (MMS) animations and five short video
clips.



New and existing Orange customers can purchase or upgrade to the SIM+ at a cost
of $8. The new SIM+ can be used with any mobile telephone however the content
stored on the flash memory is only available on compatible handsets. Once
installed, customers can access further content from the Orange World portal
using embedded links in the content supplied on the SIM+.



In addition to supplying the 3D content for the SIM+ card, DDD also converted
one of Orange's existing television commercials to 3D. The new 3D commercial
will be presented in-store to further enhance the SIM+ 3D promotion.



Bogdan Ciubotaru, Senior Product Manager, Orange commented: 'Continuing Orange
Romania's tradition of innovation, the SIM+ allows us to explore the exciting
new frontier of stereo 3D. We are closely monitoring our customers' reactions to
the new high capacity 128 MB memory and the highly differentiated viewing
experience that 3D brings. In the future, we hope to expand the range of 3D
content to include games and even 3D movies on mobile phones.'



Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive of DDD said: 'We were pleased to have been
selected by Orange to assist them in the delivery of the SIM+ 3D content. In
doing so we have been able to capitalize on the library of 3D mobile telephone
content that we have developed in collaboration with Jamba/Jamster in recent
months. The ability to generate revenue from the ongoing consumption of 3D
mobile phone content represents an important aspect of our business as the
market for 3D capable handsets develops.'



Commenting on the agreement, Ralf Wenzel, VP Sales and Business Development at
Jamba/Jamster said, 'DDD's high quality 2D to 3D content conversion process has
allowed us to realize a new revenue stream from our existing content. As the
leading provider of mobile content, Jamba/Jamster is continually seeking to
deliver the most exciting entertainment to our customers. Orange's SIM+
exemplifies the appeal of 3D across a broad range of mobile telephone content.'

Orange users are picking up their 3-D glasses, Haystack.

"The 3D content can be viewed using Orange-branded glasses that are included in the package."

Who on earth is going to pay for this? It looks like another loser for DDD, especially when you realise that it is not even real 3D, It is just converted 2D to 3D images.

And it is just for Romania.

DDD down 2.56% today!!!!!

LOL

First things first.. Orange Romania has launched a high capacity SIM card manufactured by Sagem Orga that allows customers to view a range of 3D content produced by DDD on conventional mobile telephones. That was last weeks news

This weeks news is the true fact that a lot of us including shareclubuk are in the red with DDD, now at least the above has stopped the decline in the SP value.. Once the real 3D mobile hits the market then and only then we should see a real SP hike that will take us out the Red from our book price..

Who will pay to view 2D images converted into pretend 3D? The SIM card is just for Romania and you need special glasses to view the pseudo 3D content.

The only way looks to be down for the DDD SP.

The S.P. has drifted down over the last few months with the lack of news.. Today I note a small upturn of 0.13p to 7.25p. At this time the investment is not for Gran or Grandad.

Last weeks Shares.. DDD: vision for future.. Hollywood studio are falling over themselves to shoot new films in 3D. At the moment viewers have to wear special glasses, however DDD is trialling software that makes the picture look 3D even with out specs. Shares are always up to date with news on DDD...

Nice rise, up 104%.

I'm very sure Haystack will be lost for words now.

Unlikely.

The phone may be out and DDD have a small royalty payment, but this is not the whole story. How successful is this going to be? What is the royalty payment per phone? If it is very small then it will be a long time before they have sold enough to add up to the 25k up front payment. Does anyone really want to watch 3D images on a tiny screen. More importantly does anyone want to watch pretend 3D images that have been converted from 2D via DDD's conversion software? Personally I would take the quick profit as DDD usually has a quick downside to it after a rise like this.

The rise may look good short term, but it may be instructive to look at their long term chart as it is still in a downtrend!

I agree with Haystack, "Whose going to pay for this"
The technique of turning 2D into 3D is old hat.
I used to do this 15 years ago.

1 photo in red, 1 photo in green, print both with a slight shift, hey presto.
Software could do this in real time.

I still want to see where the SP is going for a while.....

Late RNS out after the close, looks like 3D HDTV is ready to roll-out.

No. It just looks like the same hype. They are just using DDD's 2D to pretend 3D on a 3D TV that is going to cost the earth. Nothing new. the stock will rise briefly and come back down. be careful you don't get caught after it rises!

Volume building.

More news expected this month.

This may have come of age now..

Unlikely. It just looks like more of the same hype about an over-priced low volume product. DDD is often the sbject of rumours and specualtion. It goes up for a couple of days then plummets. Just check out the chart.

Notes to Editors

COMPANY. transforming deals taking place at the moment.
1st 3-D MOBILE PHONES now 3-D DLP HDTVS ..NOW selling in consumer mass market..

DDD.... way undervalued for a product now SELLING in the consumer MASS market.

There is no way that this extremely high priced 3d TV will be selling into any 'mass' market.

This is a niche product that seems to have little chnce of being successful. Don't forget that the 3D TV do not reqire DDD's system to operate or fnction in 3D. DDD just produce a software solution to convert 2D into pesudo 3D.
