Anyone experienced it yet? what is it like?

 

They (sky) are doing a few pub runs first as I guess you know? Then they are rolling it out to more pubs and venues and then to all with Sky+hd boxes as a free add on later in the year. I am looking forward to it, should be good stuff. The first tests I think is today Arsenal Vs Man U but there not saying where. The glasses used will be the polaroid type:d

 

Sky article here for those who are interested http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Sky-To-Show-Worlds-First-Sports-Event-Live-In-3D-Arsenal-v-Man-Utd-To-Be-Screened-In-Nine-Pubs/Article/201001415536976?lpos=UK_News_First_Technology_Article_Teaser_Region__1&lid=ARTICLE_15536976_Sky_To_Show_Worlds_First_Sports_Event_Live_In_3D%3A_Arsenal_v_Man_Utd_To_Be_Screened_In_Nine_Pubs_

We are all stuffed, unless you have a new tv set you wont be seeing jack $#@!

 

that's not true ;) ....although it may feel like it!

 

If you have a set that does 120hz it may work.

 

You can already get 3D on tvs now through nvidia graphics cards, displays must work at least at 120hz, then the nvidia card sends 2 different images at 60Hz and you wear LCD glasses.

 

Just got to hope SKY uses same type of technology

I watched that crappy 3D movie my bloody valentine and it worked fine on my TV. I don't think it was anything to do with running at any amount of hz. The picture is simply integrated twice into the one image. The processing needs to be done at the source and then put out as normal.

 

Can't see any reason why it wouldn't work that way with anything they want to broadcast. I'm guessing that Sky sports 3D will be a seperate channel? If that is the case my guess is as above, all hanky panky done before broadcast.

If you want the good 3D higher quality then its needed at 120hz, that way two completely seperate images at HD quality are projected per frame alternating. Heres link to current technology apparently makes PC games great

I doubt that is what they will use for mainstream TV though. They have to cater to the masses.

Or just see sense and back the winner to begin with :D

 

I like your thinking :D where's your guess going :D

 

3 types

 

Polarised TV - lense on screen , polarised glasses needed

 

2 pictures alternative pics - LCD glasses needed, very expensive (currently £130 each)

 

Not much known, but apparently one that doesn't require glasses, not sure how good it is!

 

Alot of the companies like Sony building 3d processors into the TV to change any input into 3D, so in theory a good TV with 3D processor and you cant go wrong :D

 

Apparently the leader in 3D technology in Japan is a company called Hyundai :blink:

Sony.... always. When the Bluray war came about as soon as Sony was mentioned there was only one way it was going to end IMO.

 

I think to begin with the 3D technology will work the same as 3D movies just now. The movies will be recorded in 3D or processed to support 3D and sent to the subscriber pre-mixed. There will be no processing involved at the users end. All they need to do is fire on the 3D glasses. Of course this will mean that there will be a loss of quality but if you consider that sky is 720p this gives the width required to raise the bar.

 

In the future it will all come down to the technology making it better and better. When it comes to this Sony will win. Whatever format sony go for, that is the horse to back IMO.

bad news all bits and bobs wont be done before broadcasted, you will need a '3D TV ready' TV

and from news report it sounded like a polarised set needed, whilst i think Sony were working on a LCD version....lets hope they come up with something that's interchangeable somehow :(
