With the release of a new set of 3-D video screens next week, Philips Electronics is bringing a sci-fi cinema standby a little closer to everyday use. Philips' WOWvx displays--which allow viewers to perceive high-quality 3-D images without the need for special glasses--are now beginning to appear in shopping malls, movie-theater lobbies, and theme parks worldwide.
Sky TV says it has made a significant step towards bringing 3D television to British viewers. The satellite broadcaster says it has successfully tested the delivery of 3D programming to a domestic television, via a high-definition set-top box. Sky has been filming a number of events using 3D cameras over recent months. Such broadcasts would require the use of 3D televisions, not yet available in UK stores, and viewers would need to wear 3D polarising glasses.
