3D Tech
To better understand how 3D TV technology works, one must first understand how our eyes work. Our eyes are several centimeters apart from each other and therefore receive the input image from different angles. Our brain uses that information and is smart enough to mesh the two different images into one single view, creating depth, and making what we see 3 dimensional or 3D.
3D TV sets work in somewhat theewhat the way, one way or another they transmit two special images to your eyes in a certain way that it knows your brain will convert the incoming image into 3D after processing it.
Tricking the brain in this way is no easy assignment, and for many years the simple and cheap technology was to use colored glasses that had a large drawback of limiting the number of colors that you could enjoy a movie in.
Today, major TV manufactures such as Sony have improved on the process that with shutter glasses the full spectrum of colors can be enjoyed. Panasonic is one of the manufactures that has now developed an auto stereoscope system that will make it possibleke it possible make 3D viewing possible without the need of uncomfortable glasses at all.
All in all, the 3D TV industry is still in its initial stages, but many leading companies are investing strongly into it in hopes that it will be the next big business. If movies such as Avatar are anything to go by, the chances of success are pretty superior. Now it is up to the industry to improve technology and make it less of a burden, reduce prices, and generate enough content through 3D games, 3D movies, 3D episodes of popular series, and 3D TV channels.
