3D TV is set to readily available to the UK in less than two years time, and it seems that Hollywood may the driving force behind the new technological advancement in how we will watch our programmes at home.

With seven movies released in 3D already and a further eight to follow this year alone, including the highly anticipated James Cameron’s Avatar, TV manufacturers are pushing ahead with producing HD 3D LCD TVs – in fact we reported only last week that LG have already released the first of their 30 million 3D LCD TV to the Korean market.

Its not just movies and TVs that will be getting the 3D treatment either; the videogame industry is set to jump aboard the 3D bandwagon – UK developers Blitz are soon set to unveil their first 3D video game for Japanese games publisher Namco.

Eutelsat boss Guiliano Berretta told the Financial Times that: "3D is a real revolution. We are creating a specialisation in shooting and transmitting it. Normal TV has a limit. The rate of increase in TV revenues slowed this year. We can’t have double-digit growth unless we can grow the broadband business and a new type of TV consumption."

What are your thoughts on this…..another ‘next big thing’ created purely for hype or do we really want to have 3D in our homes? It would be interesting to hear thoughts on this.
