I remember this, and remember letting myself down at the age of 11.... I watched it on tv and listened to it on radio 1 and remember being blown away by it on my dad’s Toshiba stereo. Even at the ripe old age of 11 i decided to record it as I knew before I’d even heard it that I would want to listen again and again.... I recorded it on VHS. Mono VHS 😢

If someone had said back then "in 30 years time you'll be watching this clip on your mobile phone" you'd have thought they were mad 😂

Seeing this reminds me of how much better television used to be at that time.

Amazing the "3D" stereo works on youtube:)

Great live production; informative, confident and ego-free presenters bringing real science to the public. And killer theme tune to boot! I'm fortunate to be an age where I still got to see the trailing end of this type of programme making, and the fact that I no longer watch broadcast television says all that you need to know about TV nowadays. Shows like this made me who I am today; an engineer. Thanks for sharing!

Good god. I remember actually watching this at the age of 11. I remember the frustration of 1. Not having a stereo tv, and 2. Not able to receive bbc radio 1 because I'm from south of Ireland. I listened to this today April 2017 and still went "WOW" when the 3d stereo was turned on. I love gadgets. Even from the 80's/90's. :)

I religiously watched this every week 😃👍

I remember watching this when it was originally broadcast. So cool.

The days when TV was still worth watching

bring back Tomorrow's World!!

Golden age of the BBC when TV Centre was still in public ownership.

"Now 25 years later"...damn, I remember watching this when it aired in 91...amazing to think that that is now longer ago than when that "old" black and white footage they were using was filmed...

Can't believe the stereo made it off VHS to KZfaq! Mad

I had the full set up and now in 2024 I have full surround sound with 9 speakers.. I honestly can remember that the song winter in July blew my mind when I heard it coming from behind…

Watching it via the 'smart' TV and momentarily forgot the sound was through the HiFi speakers until they played the 3D-Stereo and was taken aback! Worked quite well, nice sound. There was a lot of good content in this episode - thanks for uploading, VHS Video vault :-)

The reporter said "eventually 8 million people a year will be using that airport" it's actually over 27 million a year now. I'm not exactly sure why I spent time looking that up.

The amount of time each presentation is given to educate & inform is breathtaking in it's difference to today and not in a good way, everything today is rushed & just in a mad dash to get to the next thing, what the hell went wrong. Thanks very much for the upload ;-)

I remember when this was on live, and we didn't have a NICAM receiver at the time. So we recorded it on VHS and on a cassette from the radio broadcast too - then I had fun trying to sync it up again on playback lol

0:36 That shot of Mark Goodier is used in The Day Today when Chris Morris announces Fur-Q's upcoming UK tour plans.

Those were the days when we went to the moon 7 times, landing men 6 times and all returning safely despite some horrendous problems. Can’t do that anymore.

I like that this upload is in stereo!

"Eventually 8m people a year will be using Stansted" - haha! 28m last year!

Im betting that swivel chair is he sat on was British made and still around to this day.

I remeber watching this episode when it came out. I had no stereo in the living room, and my sister was doing homework in the dining room, so i had to improvise - i used my Sony walkman, which had a radio, and a set of amplified, battery powered, portable stereo speakers, placed 6ft apart as they advised the week before. Unfortunately the radio reception was not great in the room, especially because the walkman relied on the headphone cable's ground as its antenna, which didnt work so well on the speakers as it would have with the headphones.

what is this.. "British Steel Industry?"

Pink Floyd did it on The Final Cut in 1983 using Holophonics. The sound of the men playing snooker in the pub is particularly impressive.

I remember watching this live

Amazing it works through my computer speakers!

26 years later and there's only staring to be an application in flexible lenses, in cameras.

This still holds up well today! I'm watching/listening to this on a half decent sound system in 2023 and I'm very impressed! No doubt modern audio processors help.

This is basically how the 2.1 channel Soundbar, Smartphone and Headphone version of Dolby Atmos works. In fact I watched this using my cheapass $200 Atmos soundbar. Worked well.

I remember this when Live, it was the birth of virtual surround! I loved it as a kid and was so amazed.

Xenon 2 Megablaster!

i like her jacket looks so cool

Awesome series! Thanks for sharing!

I remember this being broadcast, sitting in front of my parents Toshiba Hifi to get the benefit of 3D stereo woooohh!

The audio wide is just reverb and echo, and quickly moving left and right. Now normal specs of stereo is Left channel is full mono (left + right) with right being mono2. Then became mono dual channel L+R (stereo). Timing panning is basically how Dolby and THX works, then carrier frequencies to tell decoder which command for pass thrus such as speaker centre. Only DTS allowed true 5 mono channels.

I have a set of Kenwood speakers from 2000 that have this feature. The hi fi system that it came with hasn't survived unfortunately but the the speakers still sound fantastic. The 3D feature really works, thought it would just turn out to be a gimick at the time they were purchased but was pleasantly surprised.

This was using Roland Sound Space or RSS technology at approximately £16,000 !!!!

Flexible mirrors? Why arent we funding this??

the wide stereo effect sounded pretty good on my HP laptop - the speakers on it are normally crap and not that loud

that jacket is boss

Always watched Tomorrow's world with my dad on a Thursday night, this was a good edition with the 3D stereo demo, this didn't come to anything as Dolby surround sound systems came along soon after.

I remember watching this episode as it was aired! YIKES!!!

It’s been another ten years since she reviewed the 70s

I remember this and actually did it with our hifi back then !

the World of Tomorrow or Tomorrow's World sounds great I sure hope we get there

Pin head at the start scared me as a kid

I recorded the CD audio onto a cassette tape, and it still works today !

The British Steel Industry, we said TATA™ to that when the Tories started selling things from under British noses.

I was trying to hear how well the 3D stereo worked on headphones as binaural, and also found out I'd hooked my speakers so the left is on the right!

27:59 Did he just say entering a World resession, 😅😅 2023 and we still in it.😅😅😊😢

god i remember setting up the stereo and speakers to get all immersive for this 3d stereo back in the day

Such a brilliant show.

I loved this show as a kid :)

Both amazing content (nostalgia and entertainment wise) and some hilarious comments. Perfect KZfaq combo. As others have said...what on earth was that clown suit!!?

3d stereo worked on my laptop speakers, cool

The stereo thing is pretty mind-blowing even now

It's funny, listening to this through my headphones, the wide stereo on the theme music sounds really good but as I recall, when stereo and hifi systems first started adding a 'Wide' button, it usually sounded naff. it probably didn't help that I love funk / house music, and the 'wide' function just seemed to destroy the bass punch. It also made the music sound weird, like it was too wide, with nothing left in the middle! I think this was something that worked well with expensive studio and mixing equipment, but not on an off-the-shelf budget hifi set up.

Listened to this on my iPhone SE, the stereo effect was most impressive.

It's mad to think 27 years later "3D Stereo" is known as 8D audio and is pretty big now

I still use stereo....

Im glad i saw this. This technology is in most digital audio workstations(daw) these days. I can assume that the majority of daw users may not know how it works though.

I bought the CD of the sound effects and songs that were shown. It worked quite well but never seemed to take off.

I remember being a kid when this episode came on and I literally thought they meant they could make a mono TV speaker sound like stereo!

watching on my s21 ultra with dolby atmos. sounds fantastic. I love technology.

Bob Carver did this a decade earlier with his "sonic holography" circuit built into many of his amplifiers. Same principle of extracting and time shifting out of phase information through two speakers. It works to some degree but does not create the 3D illusion as effectively as multichannel systems.

Now you can send The One Show a picture of your dog or your dinner or something equally vacuous.

20:25 and I still put jam onto my CD's as TW stated you can and it will still work.😅😅😅😅

Well done for recording and uploading this program in stereo letting us hear the 3d stereo experiment. It seemed to work well, I wonder what happened to this technology.

Elton John is wearing those glasses.

God, I miss this.

I love STN, it's my favourite airport. I still have no idea why they call it a "London" airport, when it's no where London it and Luton is miles away!

Science Fiction has become Tomorrow's World.

What the hell was Judith wearing

(6:35) - "...eventually, up to eight million people a year should be using Stansted..." Wow, that many? In 2017 Stansted handled 24 million passengers!

Of course the segment on Stansted airport could only be accompanied by 'music for airports'

I remember this episode

Old is gold I regularly watch videos Thank you so much

16:31 8D audio

The only problem was that you couldn't turn it off, it was on all the time.

Lol 3D sound. I remember the TVs had crappy Nicam digital sound as a sales gimmick and sounded all over the place. Volume up volume down all the time. I remember them days. I also remember watching this and switching on my dads hi fi to hear this 3D sound. The old shitty days. Tomorrow's world was great in its day though.......

"We'll see how long it takes for the technology to be picked up". Yeah, still not generally used by the music industry in 2020, unfortunately. (Though, some of these techniques are used for positional audio in games and VR, so it didn't die off entirely - but it's kind of taken until now, and the need for immersion in VR, to start getting back to this again. Mind you, thinking about it, VR itself was similar. There was a big push for it in the '90s, but it was a bit crap, so died off. Then hardware got good enough to do it justice more recently and VR's back in action again.) p.s. I have a bone to pick with Tomorrow's World, as they kept talking about all these awesome things happening by 2020. They never mentioned any global virus or lockdowns.

Isn't there a version of Tubular Bells that was made using the 3d effect?

The beginnings of Q sound.

That's the exact clip of mark Goodier that nu-blood rapper Fur Q did a killing to on Brass Eye.

The Koreans spent billions in tech research and finally developed exploding cell phone batteries.

Wow, Stanstead Airport!

Digital sound processing was all the rage in the 1990s and the early 2000s. My 2011 Panasonic shelf system has three separate buttons on the remote to select different effects. My 2006 portable CD player has it too. Wide stereo works well for simpler music with fewer instruments, it works great for synth music. But rock with tons of drums turns into horrible mush. Before DSPs, equalizers were very popular. Now it seems, if you care about the audio quality at all, you would want it as clean and as close to the original setting as possible, no processing. Now people care for Hi-Res. And many use just a single BT speaker, oh horror!

Amazing her outfit is also in 3D stereo

Watched this in 2022 on a stereo phone and it sounds bloody good. There were some good 3d albums made eg Orbital, Deep Forest using BASE or RSS which was ok. Binaural is much better now.

the man in the dark looked like he was pulling his pud on the sly lol

3D stereo just sounded like normal stereo except the music was produced/mixed with proper panning and separation of the instruments... which is just normal stereo done well, lol.

Yesterdays world

2022 and people still don't care about 3D stereo hehe

Judith Hann is 🔥

Does the company 'Integral Vision Ltd.' still exist or did it go the way of most UK companies with good ideas & expertise - either acquired by a large overseas company or couldn't manage to expand so just folded?

That bald head guy on intro, Remember watching this series

I shouldn't have laughed when she said the roof could get sucked off by the wind.... But I did....

The size of the fudge bars !!
