Next year's London Olympics will be the first live 3D Games.

An agreement with the International Olympic Committee and Olympic Broadcasting Services will produce more than 200 hours of 3D coverage during the Games.

The Olympics have pioneered television broadcasting technologies over the years and the 2008 Games in Beijing were the first to be broadcast entirely in HD.
