3D television is something that has been in the making for a long time now but has in the past been dismissed by technology experts as a fad.
But since the release of such films as Avatar that make use of 3D technology, the 3D television industry has seen an increase in demand for new television sets and now peoples demands are being met.
Even though 3D TVs will be available in Britain in time for the 2010 Football World Cup it is still uncertain if it will be broadcast here in the Britain or just in the U.S.A.
Sony 3D television sets are available to pre-order now, in the Sony centre in Harrods and at Currys for around £1,300 for the 32 inch model and up to £5,000 for a 65 inch model, however with some of the TV sets additional extras are required to be able to receive the 3D picture, these include an infa-red light emitter which costs £37, additional glasses that you may need for bigger families at around £100 each and a control box which can cost another £75.
Even though Sony are taking pre orders for their 3D TVs now, it is expected that Samsung, Panasonic and LG are likely to release their models before you can get your Sony set.
Samsung 3D Televisions are set to be released at the beginning of April in time to be able to watch the football world cup which starts in June, but in 3D????.
But even if you get your TV early, experts warn that Britons will struggle to find anything to watch on their new purchase until later in the year.
All sets can still view normal 2D by switching the settings on the TV and Samsung claim that their TVs will have the ability to render normal 2D content into a form of 3D.
There are experiments underway at the moment with glasses-free 3D television but there is no clue as to when or if this will be accomplished.
Sky ran a trial of 3D sport by showing the recent Manchester United v Arsenal game in 3D at certain pubs around the country.
In January of this year Sony and FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) reached signed an agreement for Sony to film 25 matches at this years World Cup competition in South Africa.
The games that Sony will film will be displayed on big screens in certain cities throughout the World, one of which is London.
Big screens will be put up throughout London to cater to the people who don’t have the fund to people able to purchase one of the new 3D Televisions that will be available to have in your home later in the year.
If you are looking to buy one of the new 3D television sets, its not a cheap price to pay but Sony predicts there may be 13.6 million 3D sets installed in Europe by 2013.
“The Football World Cup begins on 11th June and by then 3D televisions are expected to be in only a lucky few households as due to the price tag on the new TVs. For most families looking to purchase a 3D TV in time for the World Cup there is no choice but to get a loan” said a bad credit loan specialist from Credit Problems No Problem who specialise in sourcing bad credit loans to residents of the United Kingdom with such things as CCJs in their credit history.
The way the 2010 Football World Cup is filmed in 3D is not as technical as you think it would be. First they have dual cameras set up to capture the motion, the two cameras pick up slightly different angles of the picture they are looking at, a 3D processor then the images into a single High Definition picture it is then send to your digital HD encoder and broadcast on to your TV for you to watch with your special 3D glasses on.
In 2008 the BBC broadcast the worlds first live sporting event in 3D when they showed an England v Scotland game from the six nations at a cinema in London.
When the tournament ends Sony will be producing and distributing the official 3D film of the Football World Cup.
The first game to be shown in 3D from the 2010 World Cup will be South Africa v Mexico, which is the game that opens the tournament.
