London, Jan 6 (ANI): Viewers will be able to watch 3D broadcast of part of the 2010 football World Cup matches after sports broadcaster ESPN decided to film 25 of the matches in 3D in South Africa.
After years of technology experts predicting that 3D would take off, it is for the first time that a 3D broadcast will be seen in anyone’s home.
The announcement was made as television companies prepare to unveil their latest 3D sets at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, The Telegraph reports.
The likes of Sony, LG and Samsung are all expected to announce that 3D televisions will be available for sale in the United States and Britain in a matter of months.
It is unclear when the ESPN broadcasts will be available outside of the US, but an ESPN spokesman said it was unlikely to be available to British viewers until after the World Cup.
Viewers will not only need to invest in an expensive new television, they will also need to wear special dark glasses to enjoy the full experience. (ANI)
