The BBC has announced that the 2012 Olympics taking place in London this summer will be broadcast in 3D for BBC HD viewers with 3D televisions.

Viewers will be treated to three dimensional versions of the opening ceremony, closing ceremony, men’s 100m final and daily highlights.

It’s expected that the service will give the BBC an idea of how ready audiences are to embrace 3D. They chose a limited number of events to ‘minimise the loss of HD that is a consequence of our 3D service.’

NBC and Panasonic will be doing the same in the United States too.
