Post subject:  BBC 3D programming 'on hold' indefinitely

Quote:
The BBC is to suspend 3D programming for an indefinite period due to a "lack of public appetite" for the technology.

Kim Shillinglaw, the BBC's head of 3D, said it has "not taken off" with audiences who find it "quite hassly".

The BBC began a two-year 3D trial in 2011, broadcasting several shows and events in 3D, including the Olympic Games and Strictly Come Dancing.

A Doctor Who anniversary special in November will be among the final shows televised in 3D as part of the trial.

The BBC makes Sherlock, you know. They could have asked him about this.

I always thought that 3D cinema was going to be a fad. It might have more success in the home with Active 3D systems. They were also too expensive to become mainstream. It might still happen but not for a while.
