A simple way to understand this principle is to keep your thumb at arm’s length and cover one eye with your hand. Then try your hand on the other eye. How do you switch between your eyes open your thumb, you should go “back and forth, view on the merits.

Stereoscopy was invented in 1838. There is much debate on the first 3D film, but “The arrival of the train” filmed in 1903 by the Lumiere brothers. They were the inventors of cinema, and is often described as the highlight film first time. When it was published, the public panicked because they thought the train was about to plunge right into it! The funny thing is it was probably one of the first remake. The film is remake of the original which was released in 1895! And you wonder why Hollywood keeps remake films. He was practically born for this!

If you’re like me, then you’ve probably experienced 3D for the first time in your life with this old Viewmaster viewer. You put the round thing with the funny little film of him in your Viewmaster, eyes glued on both eyes and on the living room lamp table tilted. Suddenly, they were transported to a million places where you thought you could close enough to touch objects in 3 dimensions. Whether this property and would like stereoscopic 3D holograms, which stood in front of you and I will not CNN-style. I was already hooked!

There are different types, or flavors, 3D. Some are 3D technology into the jars, while others are in a monitor or application of technology. Computer, or even the iPhone can support 3D, but require additional active components, such as software and applications that is being created.

The first time the 3-D technology was used to create lenses traditional red and blue. It’s called an anaglyph, and it is very cheap in both cost and performance. Fortunately, with the rise of technological advances, we have several ways to display a better 3D media.

Polarized lenses are also a common type of 3D glasses. These are the 3D glasses, you get into the IMAX 3D, or in other cinemas. Although they work better than the old type of red and blue glasses, this procedure requires two projectors in the theater and additional layers to operate properly monitor technology. The set-up former theater costs and additional costs for polarized lenses can make this method less attractive.

3D screens without glasses is here today. There are several ways that the 3D screen technology is built. One possibility is to use multiple layers of polarized glass screen similar to the previous one, which is costly mentioned, but you do not need special glasses 3D display on the screen.
