UK TV channel launches 3D pornography

Digital channel Babestation Xtreme has announced what it claims is the worldwide premiere of adult 3D TV scheduled broadcasts.

The Freeview station will broadcast the movie 3D Sex Fantasies at midnight on Saturday, June 26 and promises a "new era" of live and pre-recorded content on its family of channels.

Director of programming Bob James said: "For our viewers who enjoy the lean-back experience of TV as well as those who want to interact with our bevy of babes, nothing can surpass the magic of 3D in its ability to bring our talent into the home.

"While our initial broadcasts will be in high quality anaglyph 3D, we will be fully compatible with active 3D technologies in the future."

He added: "The combination of adult content and 3D will drive consumer adoption of 3D technologies in perhaps an even more dramatic fashion than adult content did with internet adoption.

"While the internet offered a more discrete and diverse platform for existing forms of content, 3D actually enhances the consumer's relationship with the content making for a more personal experience."

Philippe Gerard of film technology company 3Dlized recently claimed that "when boobs pop out of the screen" in 3D cinema broadcasts of pornography "people reach out to touch them".
