Sky has announced that it's to launch a 3D TV channel next year for subscribers to its Sky+HD service, but is the UK ready for another dimension?
Before the shock announcement, 3D TVs had been expected to go on sale in 2011, though manufacturers are bound to now bring their plans forward.
Could Europe's most HD-ready nation – the UK – be about to embrace 3D TV?
Here are your 3D TV questions answered...
How does Sky's 3D system work?
Aping human vision, two Sky cameras on the same rig film side-by-side, capturing slightly different left and right images in 1080i resolution to create two 540 pixel images.
Together they create a 1920x1080 image that – in quality terms – is a quarter as good as the Full HD 1080p pictures found on a Blu-ray disc.
Each feed, which represents a slightly different perspective, is split by polarised glasses and received exclusively by each eye. Your brain then processes them separately and stitches them together, as we normally do every time we open our eyes, thereby creating a field of vision that has depth. This is stereoscopic 3D, and it's set dominate.
The other form of 3D is autostereoscopic (sometimes called 'true 3D'), which doesn't require glasses. Instead, a lens is placed over the TV screen, which does a similar job by sending a different point of view to each eye. Unfortunately, the lens lessens the perceived resolution and the effects aren't anywhere near high definition.
