Royal wedding may get some added depth

Broadcasters are considering plans to show the royal wedding in 3-D.

The marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey, on Friday April 29 next year, is expected to draw in a huge worldwide audience. The pair, both 28, announced their engagement last week, nine years after they met.

Jana Bennett, director of BBC Vision, said early meetings had taken place with other broadcasters and she was aware of interest in using 3D technology.

"We are already planning with the other broadcasters so I know about the 3D thing as well. That is obviously of some interest but our responsibility is to bring things everybody can see on air and 3D has a very limited footprint."

She added the royal couple were in "their own space and we shouldn't make assumptions yet about what our coverage should amount to".
