We can expect 100 channels of 3D content by the end of 2015, apparently.
This is according to US research firm In-Stat. Here in the UK, we have one channel (the Sky 3D channel), and there’s a bit of a way to go, but the numbers appear to be worldwide projections, not just for us here in the UK.
According to the report’s Principal Analyst: “Pay-TV providers around the globe who have HD systems in place have jumped on the 3D content being made available to them at a faster rate than many had expected. Many took advantage of the World Cup 3D coverage to test 3D over their networks, and some of them have now launched transmission of regular 3D TV channels.”
Apparently, sports, movie, documentary, and music channels will be first in line for the 3D experience, and Europe appears to be loading the way.
