Do 3D movies fascinate you? Are you looking forward to playing video games using 3D technology? Or do you think about getting a 3D TV to replace your old HDTV? If yes, here are some things that you need to know about 3D television technology first.
3D technology can be traced all the way back in 1844, when David Brewster invented the stereoscope, an invention that could take photographic images in 3D. Eleven years after, another device was invented called the Kinematascope. This was a stereo animation camera used to create 3D motion pictures.
Years had passed but the 3D technology never went out of the picture. And now 2010, Sky UK is making a big push towards 3D television. Last January 1, the very first 3D channel started broadcasting in South Korea. It showcases sporting events, documentaries, educational shows, animated shows, and more.
So what names to look forward to for these 3D televisions? For one, there's Mitsubishi, followed by LG, Sony, and Panasonic. However in UK, a 3D television is already out from Samsung. It's called the Samsung UE40C7000. At first glance, you might think that it's an HD LED TV. But after going through its features, it actually offers more like the capability to upscale 2D pictures to 3D.
Many people are really curious about these 3D televisions, especially with the release of popular 3D films like Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, and Christmas Carol. They even wonder if
3D glasses should be used when watching from these 3D TVs. As of now, glasses are used but come 2011, LG and Philips will be introducing 3D TVs that don't make use of glasses.
The 3D technology has really come a long way since it was first used in 1844. Now that it's already used in televisions, this 3D television will certainly revolutionize the way people watch TV. So watch out for new 3D televisions that are set to be released this year.
