A growing number of TV analysts are predicting that 3D TV could be broadly adopted in the UK and across Europe by 2011.
Manufacturers have been flirting with 3D technology for a number of years, but the real impetus behind the drive towards the introduction of consumer systems has been the commitment by major Hollywood studios to produce 3D films.
With over a dozen films in the 3D format scheduled for a 2009 release, Hollywood is once again embracing the concept of 3D cinema. James Cameron's Avatar out in 2010 is one of the more highly anticipated 3D movies in production right now. Last year, DreamWorks Animation SKG announced that all of its forthcoming films would be made and released in 3D, starting with Monsters vs. Aliens.
This time round the big Hollywood studios believe that new technology will create a totally different experience to the early days of 3D. New techniques such as parallel camera modeling create a complete 3D vista which is far superior to 3D films of the past where objects occasionally 'loomed' out from the screen. Although special glasses will still need to be worn, headaches will be a thing of the past.
With the games industry also set to capitalize on the interest in 3D, big manufacturers believe that there will be enough interest generated in the new technology to justify the development of consumer 3D systems.
