3D FILM

When moving pictures first appeared everyone was highly amazed. Then, a big step was taken with the integration of sound in films. Now, with the invention of 3D technology, which gives us the illusion of space and depth and makes films more spectacular, the film industry has changed a lot. One of the most famous 3D films is James Cameron’s Avatar. Although the story was not particularly complex, the film was very popular and ranked high in the box office due to the fact that it excelled in 3D video effects. Since then more and more films have been filmed in 3D. 3D is probably the future of films.

So how do 3D films work? Well, actually all 3D technologies work the same. They are based on the fact that we have two eyes separated by approximately 2 inches. Because of this, the individual eyes see an image from a slightly different perspective. This is what 3D technology uses in order to produce the illusion of depth. All 3D technologies use video filmed by two cameras positioned at slightly different angles.

At first, 3D technology was available only in cinemas, but today you can even get yourself a 3D TV if you like the idea of seeing these spectacular images at home. Yes, they do have a higher price than normal television sets, but you also get an amazing added feature.
