You read that correctly: Vanna White is about to invade your home - through the magic of 3-D, of course. According to THR, a 3D clip of Wheel of Fortune was screened last week at an open house for Sony’s new 3D Technology Center by Harry Friedman (exec. producer of WOF and Jeopardy), suggesting that game shows might be taking the 3D route in the near future. “One of the biggest challenges is keeping a game show fresh - by changing the show without changing the game,” he said. “We do that with enhanced production value, such as set design. We typically do dimensionalized sets, which are made for 3D.” Though there’s no timeline for when we can expect Jeopardy answers to be thrusted into our faces, it’s likely to be soon, considering that 25% of all TV sets sold will be 3D-ready by 2013. Imagine a world where Pat Sajak is in the room with you every night. Scary thoughts, right?
