The BBC has declared that it will make its live telecast of men’s and ladies’ finals of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships on July 2-3. The viewers need to wear special glasses in order to access the live telecast of the final match in a 3D TV and BBC HD channel.


According to the BBC report, the coverage is being provided in tandem with the All England Lawn Tennis Club and Sony Professional. The BBC has declared that it will offer a small count of free 3D screening to the public via www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours. On the other hand, a small number of UK cinemas will receive the telecast of the final championship.

The BBC lags behind local pay box BSkyB, which pioneered the technology in the U.K. It launched a 3D channel last fall that now claims some 75,000 subscribers and regularly airs soccer in 3D.


Recently BSkyB won a BAFTA in the specialist factual category for Atlantic's “Flying Monsters 3D,” presented by David Attenborough and featuring CGI-generated images of prehistoric flying lizards.

    It sounds uber cool....so ...what you feel ?..other sporting actions would follow suit?..

  2. wow... that's a great news and exciting one too.I am anxiously waiting to enjoy the tennis on 3D display and hope that a day will come when I will enjoy other games like cricket on 3D display.

  3. Hi dear,

    Wonderful to see the enthusiasm.Even I am an avid sport fan.LG has already created ripples when it broadcasted,rather showcased, IPL matches 3D LCD TVs in India in 3-D format,making this the first time any sporting event has been broadcast in 3D in the country.

    The LH50 3D TV model is one of the first commercially available 3D TVs in the world. It is viewed using passive glasses which are light weight and affordable, enabling large groups of people to enjoy brighter 3D pictures regardless of viewing from a distance. Viewing of cricket and other sports like Soccer, Polo etc will be much more exciting on 3D formats.NBA has already a big hit when live matches are shown on giant 3D screens.Europe witnessed the live 3D broadcast of French Open,2011.

    So the good news that our smile has found a newly found angle in 3D,LG way.Fingers crossed for upcoming sporting events.If you have any updates,kindly let me know.See you in the next post.

    Thanks..
