3D TV on Channel 4 This Autumn!

3D CinemaNo need for the 3D cinemas (well, sort of) because Channel 4 are set to broadcast 3D shows this Autumn. They are doing it in partnership with Sainsburys, in the supermarkets is where you buy the ColorCode glasses. To the naked eye the program will look (almost) normal, to those with glasses on it will have lots more depth!

One of the shows being aired will be Derren Brown’s ’3D Magic Spectacular’, which should be very good. Others will include; ‘The Greatest Ever 3D Moments’ and rare footage of the Queen’s coronation in 1953. A mix of films will also be shown, as yet though we’re not aware of what they are.

As well as the programs Channel 4 are also hoping to get advertisers involved so the ads are in 3D as well. Normally ads are very annoying but given the creativity of the people who work on them these days it could actually be exciting to watch them.

The technology is really nothing new, and yes it may be a gimmick, but with there being a lot of crap on the TV these days it will get me tuning in. And if nothing else it may give us a sense of what the future will be like when we always watch programs in 3D!
