            <description><![CDATA[The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has released five new standards covering areas from accessibility to 3D video, including CEA-2038 for infrared-synchronized active 3D eyewear that allows seamless switching between 2D and 3D content and supports dual-viewer gaming scenarios. The package also includes ANSI/CEA-2041 defining a round tactile nib for visually impaired remote control users, CEA-2042.1-A establishing wireless charging terminology, and CEA-TR-1, a home illumination study linking ambient light levels to TV brightness requirements and energy consumption. Designers and engineers can use these standards to build more interoperable, accessible, and energy-efficient consumer electronics products.]]></description>
