subject: 3dtvs [print this page] Have you heard about the latest technology for 2010? Are you ready for it? The answer is 3DTV or three-dimensional television viewing in your home. This new technology is beginning to appear on the market and may be coming to a living room near you or maybe even your own. The top manufactures are now releasing the new 3D televisions to the public in 2010.
While there isn't a huge amount of content available yet for the Samsung UE40C7000 to display, it is coming soon with the future offerings of the Sky 3D channel which will show sporting matches such as Premiership football, boxing and other events.
It is so precise and true-to-life that it's easy to get the sense someone will jump right out of the television, and with this near perfect experience it would be unimaginable to believe this will blow over because I highly doubt it will. The introduction of the Samsung line of 3D televisions with the Samsung UE40C7000 is nothing short of a revolution of its own and will change the perception of entertainment in the future and mark 2010 as the beginning of the 3D era.
The historical development of 3D imaging was seen in the 1800s, when the first Stereoscope was developed by David Brewster. This device was made to take photographs in three dimensional forms. Since. The first Kinematoscope came about in the year 1855 and people viewed the first anaglyph movie in the early 1900s named "The Power of Love." Presently this technology is being developed so that it can be used in television sets by home viewers.
Ladies and gentleman, it's 2010 and the 3D TV revolution has arrived. We spent the much of the last decade discussing Plasma TV, LCD TV, and HDTVs but those conversations are fast approaching their expiry date. The second decade of the second millennium will be all about the 3-D TV.
Sure you could watch high definition movies, but to take full advantage you needed blu-ray. Sure you could watch high definition television, but what serious improvement was there for the majority of programs - Days of Our Lives in HD?
Of course, technological development won't end with AFS 3D screens. Some manufacturers have Auto Stereoscopic models in development, which create depth on screen without the need for glasses. Also, if the reality of OLED technology can live up to its potential, TVs under a centimeter thick could hit the market before too long. Only one thing is certain - as long as there's a demand for new technology, manufacturers will continue to push the boundaries of possibility as far as they can.
The sporting channels are blazing this trail right now. Depending on where you are in the world you can already watch your teams playing in 3D right now from the comfort of your own home. Of course it can never be the same as 'being there'.
3D technology has already been adopted in Hollywood, with a number of films being filmed and released in 3D. Many have predicted that 3D HD television is the next logical step in the evolution of broadcasting.
