If you have ever wanted to read a tabloid in poor quality, gimmicky anaglyph 3D then you are in luck, because News International is planning a 3D version of The Sun next month.

Slagging off anaglyph is a bit like having a go at a black and white television - it's simply a relic of the past - but nevertheless it's being hauled off of its two tone sofa for a starring role in a 3D paper.

Technological un-marvel

June 5 is the day you need to pop in the calendar if you really cannot wait for this technological un-marvel to occur.

The Sun will come with a free pair of red-and-blue anaglyph 3D glasses, and readers are promised 3D editorial images, 3D adverts and a 3D Soccer World Cup schedule Wall Chart.

We'd hazard a guess that 3D balls won't be the major draw though.

As the link suggests, there's only one real reason for buying The Sun in 3D... Hell, it's the only possible reason for buying The Sun anyway :lol:

I honestly suspect old Rupert really is losing it, to the extent that he's gonna big up his 3D exploits in TV and film by proxy, using outdated tech with his rag :oops:

Perhaps they will have to also publish a 2D version for accessibility. ;)

So before people reading page three looked like perverts. Now they'll look like dorky perverts with 3D glassed on.

Yes if you see 3D glasses everywhere you will know what they have been reading.

This is really going to annoy the printers. Usually they have to get the colour registrations so they look right, for this edition they'll have to look wrong.

There are registration problems in newspapers at the best of times. Screw this up, and you’ll get images that fail to work with or without the glasses.

There may be problems with CMYK and the low ppi screen of news print and this idea anyway. They’d really need to print using inks & paper that target the coloured filters.

The sports section would look pretty cool as they are usually shots from live action as opposed to just mugshots
