Viewers 'reach out to touch 3D boobs'

The co-founder of a 3D film technology company has suggested that pornography will be a key driver in takeup of new TV sets.

Philippe Gerard's French company 3Dlized is working with adult-content producer Marc Dorcel on a new project, Reuters reports.

"Viewers reached out with their arms to the candies in the Haribo adverts in theatres," Gerard said. "When boobs pop out of the screen it's the same - people reach out to touch them."

Dorcel's chief executive Gregory Dorcel said that its 3D output will be available to viewers paying a monthly subscription of €20-30 (£17-25).
