BBC planning 3D for the Olympics

by David Allen

Now that the World Cup is forgotten about, attention focuses on the 2012 Olympics in London and the BBC will be looking forward two years to how it will bring out the best of this most magnificent display of athletics.

According to the BBC, the opening and closing ceremonies will be filmed in the 3D format but, before things get out of hand, the BBC is quick to point out that it may be filming in 3D but that is not a guarantee that there will be a 3D Channel on the BBC.
What this will mean is that the BBC will be conducting several experiments in the run up the Olympic Games.

There is an issue though, as in order to be able to film in 3D the BBC will have to seek out agreements with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the Olympic Broadcasting Service (OBS).
