The UK set a few new high water marks for 3D as a part of its push to 2012 last night as Sky broadcast an Abbey Road concert by Keane in 3D live out over the Internet in anaglyph 3D, as well as a higher quality polarized version to a movie theater and a 46-inch 3D HDTV over a standard satellite box. Confirming earlier tests, it looks like the UK is ready to step up and join Japan in 3D broadcasting, the next question is when will the standards jostling result in any progress over here?

This is great news. We need more stations doing test runs like this.

This is great news. We need more stations doing test runs like this.

They are doing it also in Italy, at the "Teleporto delle Alpi di Vicenza"

Una prima piattaforma sperimentale è ora installata presso il Teleporto delle Alpi di Vicenza. «La messa in onda di questo canale – precisa – Paolo Dalla Chiara – ha lo scopo di far incontrare i player del mercato 3D in Europa e porsi come test bed in cui verificare le tecnologie e raccogliere esperienze sull’utilizzo di contenuti tridimensionali nel settore Home»
