3D television broadcasts have quite literally added another dimension to watching your favourite sport or movie on the TV and for many who have experienced watching a live game of football on this latest technology, there is simply no going back.
With more and more sporting events now being broadcast in 3D, fans of the genre will be interested to hear about the recent launch of a website that shows details of pubs across the UK that are screening sporting fixtures in 3D.
The site was set up by two Yorkshire football fans, John Beharrell and Richard Sutton to coincide with the kick-off of the new football season, the site aims to create an online community where those interested in sports, new technology and socialising can come together to source information and share their thoughts and experiences. Venues will also be able to list their details free-of-charge and promote themselves.
Interest in 3D TV has rocketed this year – more than 1,500 locations are already screening 3D TV and the number of search engine enquiries about the technology has tripled. This trend is expected to continue ahead of Sky launching Europe’s first 3D channel on 1st October, which will be available to its existing Sky +HD subscribers without any set-top box upgrade.
3D TV Pub Finder is aimed at the thousands of people who enjoy watching sporting clashes in the pub by detailing the growing number of venues up and down the country that are exclusively showing these fixtures in 3D. The new site is partnering with www.wheresthematch.com to bring users a complete listing of all the latest fixtures.
Richard Sutton says; “Rather than just watching sports, 3D technology is enabling the viewer to be more involved in the action, giving the experience of actually being there. The best way to experience this technology and to see what it is like before perhaps purchasing it for the home is to enjoy 3D events at the local pub, sports bar or club.”
John Beharrell added; “We know that there is a real sense of community amongst sports fans who watch the game in the pub and we want to foster this on the new site. Whether it’s football, cricket or rugby, 3DTV Pub Finder will provide sports fans with everything that they will need – apart from the pints – to be able to watch their chosen match locally.”
