3D TV channel on its way

BSkyB (also known as British Sky Broadcasting) will launch Europe's first 3D television channel in the UK next year - offering movies, sports and entertainment programming. According to an article in the UK's Guardian, BSkyB, a satellite broadcaster that thinks 3D TV may be reality within the next few years, is planning to get moving on an all-3D channel, after getting a major boost in subscribers to its Sky+ HD set-top box, which is also capable of broadcasting in 3D. Once the channel is available, customers can use their current Sky+ HD box, but will need to get a special televisions set, and will need to get their own 3D glasses. 

With this on the horizon, I think it's time UK designers start work on lines of fashionable 3D glasses - right? If people are going to be able to watch 3D TV at home all the time, disposable paper glasses just won't do... 

If this works out well, it might not be long until we, here in America, are crowding around our own TVs to catch a baseball game in 3D.
