MPX-3D (trips off the tongue that one) is a product from Polish company Cubiware.
The video demonstrates the software which requires 3d hardware (BCM7400 and BCM7413) in the set top box to run. What impresses me is not so much the 3D but the system behind it. XML is used to describe the 3D scenes and predefined templates can be used to ease development. Cubiware clearly understand that 3D is possible but highly dangerous on todays generation of set top box 3D devices. That is, 3d works, but barely and not full screen. Using templates allows them to control and limit the flexibility of the system to something that will work.
