3D television (
3DTV) is television that conveys depth perception to the viewer by employing techniques such as stereoscopic display, multi-view display, 2D-plus-depth, or any other form of 3D display. Most modern 3D television sets use an active shutter 3D system or a polarized 3D system and some are autostereoscopic without the need of glasses. So basically it's the same thing you get at a cinema but it's a TV, I never liked 3D so I'm not a big supporter, I'm not a fan of movies being shot in digital 3D either.
The stereoscope was first invented by
Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1838.
It showed that when two pictures are viewed stereoscopically, they are combined by the brain to produce 3D depth perception. The stereoscope was improved by Louis Jules Duboscq, and a famous picture of
Queen Victoria was displayed at
The Great Exhibition in 1851. In 1855 the
Kinematoscope was invented. In the late 1890s, the British film pioneer
William Friese-Greene filed a patent for a 3D movie process. On 10 June 1915, Edwin S. Porter and William E. Waddell presented tests in red-green anaglyph to an audience at the Astor Theater in New York City and in 1922 the first public 3D movie
The Power of Love was displayed.
That's about it...want to know more go on the internet, if you read my post that means you have internet..I forgot to mention that you still need glasses for 3D TV, and the they give you the same headache, plus what about people wear glasses, we have to wear the 3D glasses and our seeing glasses that's messed up, but I think they are looking into new 3D technology where you won't need glasses, that sounds good but still..Cheers...
