UK's Channel 4 To Broadcast In 3D

Posted by timothy on from the out-of-thin-air dept.

fatnickc writes "The UK's Channel 4, from the 16th of September, will be broadcasting a few programmes in 3D, the full list of which can be found here. While the likes of a 3D Miley Cyrus concert aren't exactly groundbreaking, this will give 3D viewing at home much more publicity, paving the way for even more interesting projects in the future. In partnership with retailer Sainsbury's, Channel 4 are producing free 3D glasses so that as many people as possible can watch them, although it's unclear which of the various types they'll be. "

    I don't believe it! Miley Cyrus is wooden one dimensional, never mind 2 or 3. This has to be a hoax.

  2. 3D is gimmicky at best, painful at usual by bziman · · Score: 4, Funny

    I avoid 3D movies, and I'll avoid 3D video. Generally the 3D technology is only used for "gag" effects in children's and horror movies anyway. And regardless of how good the effect is, I am not wearing any moldy 3D glasses out of the 1980s for any reason.
