Chair Kate Bulkley in 3D glasses

High definition TV is now almost considered old hat: the new, big thing is 3D TV and it’s no longer a wonky experiment but something that everyone from ITV and the BBC to Sky are serious about.

Come to a demonstration of 3D TV and see 3D TV material. Hear from those on the cutting edge: what does 3D mean for the producer, the broadcaster and the viewer? What implications are there for the business of television? How soon will we see 3D without putting on those wonky paper glasses?

3D TV was first demonstrated by John Logie Baird initially in 1928 and then again in 1941 using an ingenious system which gave a 600 line full colour 3D image without having to use special glasses.  Sadly wartime restrictions meant that the system was not taken up and we have had to wait nearly 70 years for 3D TV to become a serious proposition.

No matter what aspect of TV you work in, this event is essential to take your understanding of 3D to the next dimension.
