3D TV

Sky is promising to 'blow away' viewers by introducing 3D television to millions of living rooms within the next year.

3D? I'm not sure we're ready to see Bruce Forcyth's chin and nose in 3D. You'll have to watch Strictly Come Dancing from behind the sofa.

The satellite broadcaster demonstrated the technology this week, showing images shot at rugby and football matches which made the action appear to leap out of the screen.

And if the game has Zinadin Zadan playing 3D could be painful.

(Yep, that topical reference is years out of date, but it's late and I'm going to bed soon)

Viewers will need to wear special glasses which allow the brain to process images so that they appear to be in your living room.

They say it could revolutionise sport, Pixar the animation studio that made Toy Story and The Incredibles, has announced that from next year all its films will be produced in the 3D format, and other films are following. But I won't get a 3D TV till one channel starts using the technology... Babestation.
