Arsenal and Manchester United in 3D on Sky Sports
Posted by admin on Jan 29, 2010
Nine unamed pubs in various cities across the UK will be showing this Sunday’s Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester United in 3D.
The groundbreaking move has been engineered by BSkyB and marks the first ever broadcast of a live 3D TV sports event to a public audience.
The British broadcaster is set to launch Europe’s first dedicated 3D TV channel in April of this year and has set Sunday’s showdown at Emirates Stadium as the event to showcase the revolutionary technology.
The names of the nine pubs selected remain a secret, but they are located in London, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin, and have been kitted out with some of the first ‘3D Ready’ TV sets to reach the UK and Ireland. Unsuspecting customers will become the first audiences anywhere in the world to experience the English Premier League live in 3D.
