Still torn between the bifocals, metal frame or plastic thick-rimmed look? Fear not, Sky may have just the solution. With the announcement that BSkyB is to launch
Following the success of Sky’s most recent offering Sky+ HD, it seems audiences are more eager than ever to replicate the cinematic experience in their very own living room. Will it prove a Skyhigh success or yet another smell-o-vision type stinker?
If box-office sales of the first few 3D films to hit the big screen are anything to go by, Sky shouldn’t need to worry. Pixar has announced that from next year all its films will be produced in the 3D, placing huge confidence in the format, whilst Sky has reportedly spent months secretly filming sports events for 3D processing and has already produced a 3D version of the show Gladiators.
With the prospect of Usain Bolt speeding through your living room and the price of the 3D-box set to match that of HD, what’s stopping you? Don’t let the occasional headache, eyestrain, dizzy spell or epileptic fit put you off, it’ll be well worth it. Just think of the possibilities, Simon Cowell perched on your sofa, Jeremy Clarkson parking up in the kitchen…
If smell-o-vision makes its timely comeback, we could well see the day we get to sniff Come Dine With Me’s deliciousness. And who knows, maybe even 360º holographic type telly in time for Star Trek’s DVD release. Yes please.
