3D TVs

A 3DTV is a television set that implements 3D techniques such as 3D display, 2D plus depth, multi-view capture, and stereoscopic capture. When such features are put together, the result is a very unique viewing device that projects a certain movie or TV show into a 3D field, like as if it is something realistic.

3DTV episodes first started to be popular in the 1990's. They tried doing 3D in order to attract the attention of viewers from all over the globe. Fortunately for them, this strategy worked because the number of their viewers increased by a huge difference.

With the use of 3D TV's multi-view displays, more than one stereo pair can be projected at the time. This is responsible for producing the 3D images out of the screen like as if they are part of real life. The head tracking features make it possible to alter how a scene's views depend on the angles. When multiple independent views of a particular scene are projected appropriately to a group of many viewers, something like this is referred to as automultiscopic. This is a result of the utilization of the 2D plus depth format.

3D TVs are also installed with a volumetric display, Pulfrich effect, and holography features. The Pulfrich effect was first implemented by Doctor Who in the movie Dimensions in Time in 1993. This was a feature film produced by Discovery Channel in 2000 for one of its most famous shows entitled Shark Week. The very same features were also applied to a famous show entitled 3rd Rock from the Sun in 1997.

It is through the stereoscope that 3D images can be seen. It was in 1844, particularly, that a Scottish inventor with the name of David Brewster made this specific device intended for 3D technology. In 1851, this device was developed further by Louis Jules Duboscq as he projected the image of Queen Victoria to the public that was present in the Great Exhibition. Still, it was in the Second World War period that 3D technology started to be used popularly all over the world.

However, it was in the 50's that household TVs started to be truly famous in the whole United States of America. This was also the same period that 3D movies started to be produced and released for public viewing, the first of which was Bwana Devil by the United Artists.
