3D Technology

3D technology has been around for many years.  According to 3dgear.com, the first 3D film presented in front of a paying audience took place on June 10, 1915 at Astor Theater, New York.  The first featured film in 3D came shortly after on September 27, 1922.  It’s safe to say that 3D technology has been around for a while, but it hasn’t been until recent years that it has started to gain more popularity because of the new digital age.  With the expansion of technology, 3D has not only gone digital on our big screens, but it also has gone digital with new standardized cameras.

One of the most recent 3D digital cameras that just came out this month is the “Sony Bloggie 3D MHS-FS3 HD Camera.”  It’s priced at two hundred and fifty dollars.   It looks like a great camera, but honestly I don’t think it will take off.  I’ll let you be the judge; here is a video that goes into more detail about the “Bloggie 3D HD Camera.” 

There are a lot of cool features built into this camera, such as: a swivel USB extender, HDMI output, and the Bloggie software that comes along with it.  The demand for 3D photography technology isn’t that high.  The three main reasons the demand for 3D technology isn’t higher is easy.  The first reason is because it requires you to wear 3D glasses.   The second reason is because 3D technology is expensive, and third being that there is a small amount of other 3D format consoles to integrate and work together with.  Not all 3D technologies require glasses.  The camera I mentioned above being one of them.  Here is a five minute video I found on YouTube that explains the fundamentals of 3D technology.  It also explains how 3D works when you aren't wearing glasses.

According to asiaonedigital.com, 3D technology is going to be incorporated into games very soon.  This would expose a whole new group of people that don’t necessarily go to 3D movies, or use 3D cameras.  Within the next five years it should be fun to see what will happen with 3D technology.
