3D TV appears to have finally arrived with Sky sports deciding to broadcast the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester United in 3D this weekend. This telecast would only be aired at select pubs in UK which have been fitted with 3D ready screens. Sky expects to make 3D TV experience publicly available very soon however there are concerns over both the cost of viewer equipment as well as the gear required to record and telecast images in 3D.
Some more exciting news along with this EPL initiative by Sky is that Sony has also agreed with FIFA to record some of the football world cup matches in 3D later this year in South Africa.
I am not sure about the cost and availability of 3D TV’s as well as the preparedness of broadcasters at this time but whenever it comes, it would be a game changer forever.
ESPN will unveil it's 3D network in 2010 as well. It will showcase a minimum of 85 live sporting events during its first year, beginning June 11 with the first 2010 FIFA World Cup match, featuring South Africa versus Mexico.
