Later this month the 2012 Olympics kick off in London and thanks to the BBC it promises to be a tech fans dream, or at least impossible for gadget lovers to miss.
The opening and closing ceremonies will be broadcast live in 3D along with the mens one hundred metres final, and there will be a nightly highlights programme, again in 3D and broadcast, as was the case with the recent Wimbledon coverage, in side by side (sbs) 3D.
If you don't have a 3D tv the BBC still have good news for sports fans with live coverage of all the events in full hd on terrestrial and satellite tv as well available around the clock on twenty four dedicated hd channels and, if you have an android or iOS device, you can even watch all the action from any event live on your mobile platform of choice whenever you choose (providing you're using one of the two already mentioned of course) using 3G or Wi-Fi.There will also be live statistics and data along with the ability to rewind streamed footage.
But what if you don't have an android or iOS device to watch the action live as it happens? Well the BBC have you covered there too, simply press the red button on a BBC TV channel to go interactive and watch the Olympics at a time that suits you.
Back to news for 3D fans and there is more good news from the BBC, yes there will be more 3D broadcasts on the BBC HD channel this year including the recently confirmed last night of the proms concert and Planet Dinosaur.
Britains first 3D comedy drama is to air on the Beeb early next year along with other planned 3D broadcasts in a variety of different genres as the BBC test the appeal of tv in the third dimension.
