Upon reading that the BBC is putting its two-year 3D pilot program on hold, one must think that 3D television must be on the brink of dying, if it isn't dead already.
Admittedly, I'm no fan of 3D. Of course, I was intrigued by Avatar. The story itself wasn't great, but one could tell immediately the effort that went into the visual. Next up in 3D was Alice in Wonderland, which failed to entertain completely. It took me several years to try a film in 3D again, which was the recent Star Trek: Into Darkness. I walked away disappointed. Not in the film itself, but in the lack of progress when it comes to developing the technology.
Not only is the BBC doing away with 3D and the movies are stagnant, but ESPN has dropped their content as well.
With no content being produced, both consumers and retailers should take note. Unless you want to drop extra money on 3D BluRay, this format is thankfully dead.
Bring on 4K.
