SKY TV trial 3D broadcasts
It looks like SKY TV will be the first broadcaster to try to integrate 3D television broadcasts into everyone’s homes. The satellite operator recently trialled their new 3D technology at the ATP tennis finals and the visual results were excellent.
If you own a SKY HD box you will already be able to receive the 3D images (it looks like football will get the first outing) but you will need a 3D TV to view them. Gone and the two tone red and green glasses you had to wear to watch 3D TV in the 70s, but you will still need to wear stylish wrap-around lenses to get the full effect.
The system is scheduled for launch some time around the middle of 2010 so it might not be worth rushing out to buy your new 3D tele yet. But the visuals look stunning and we can’t wait to see what happens over the next few months before launch.
