You might not have noticed, but we've have been hearing a lot about 3DTV lately, and it doesn't seem to be a joke. We have also read that 3D movies are waning in popularity, but this has not deterred TV set manufacturers from flogging 3D sets. Some cable networks are offering 3D to their viewers. One of these is ESPN 3D, the enjoyment of which requires a 3D set, a pair of 3D glasses and a special set-top box. In September, CBS, Panasonic, and the USTA offered some US Open Tennis matches in 3D, carried on DirecTV and Comcast. Now, the ATSC has launched work on a 3DTV broadcast standard. I am not making this up.
