Sony has announced that hey have started development on three dimensional television shows and movies. Additionally ,they will be releasing 3-D coverage of the 2010 World Cup in cooperation with FIFA. The downside is that you will not be able to view these 3-D viewings of the soccer matches unless you go to the location which has the sony televisions. The initial tv's to be released by sony will require the use of 3-D glasses to see the 3-D content. Sony has said that they are also developing televisions that will not require the use of the 3-D glasses.
So far mostly animated movies have been the only ones that were being shown in 3-D. They say that the sports content will really show the strengths that 3-D programming can offer. Also the new movie "Avatar" that is going to be released will also have 3-D functionality. It is amazing to think that there is soon going to be three dimensional television. One can only wonder how much of a success these new 3-D televisions will be and what will be the next step in technological advancement for multimedia entertainment.
Reminds me of this prototype of Sony's I saw on some site, only the one I saw had the screen wrapped around a cylinder, with the picture inside, cool as that sounds. However, I think the idea Sony has is honestly just a way of having the third dimension without the need of those stupid glasses.
