Since the beginning of the 80's, 3-DTV has had increasing attention. 3-DTV broadcasts and demonstrations proved the public attractiviness of three dimensional images. Much interest and many activities are to be found for special applications like advertising, where attraction and impression of this new media stands in the foreground, but as well as in computer aided design, in medicine and robotics, where true spatial information sometimes renders important assistance. In creating 'virtual worlds', 3-DTV practically is indispensable. In the broadcast domain, 3-DTV becomes imaginable as a mixed service standard 2-DTV/3-DTV in the same channel, preferable within a future HDTV system. For farer future, 3-DTV without needing spectacles seems to be possible. The new COST project 'Stereoscopic Television' certainly will be a valuable support to research and development. Unfortunately at present, the European industry has to concentrate on other problems. So 3-DTV as yet does not receive the assistance, that would be desirable and necessary for such an extensive task. One may hope that in 3-DTV development in Europe we will not get the same arrears as we have to solve, needing high efforts, in HDTV.
