Introduction
When the 3D television was first introduced, the public was captivated by the technology. When we as consumers look at the technology today, we view the 3D television as a failure. With the most recent technology the Ultra High-definition television making its way to the market, in this paper I will analyze the 3D television technology in utilizing the social constructs of technology and compare it with the new ultra high-definition television. The analysis paper will mainly be helpful to the companies developing the televisions and for the select consumers who are innovators (consumers who will adopt the technology first). This analysis paper is important so that companies do not make the same mistake of turning ultra high-definition television into a failing technology that consumers will not buy. For the innovators this will help them understand the pros and cons before making the decision of supporting or not supporting the technology.
3D technology has been known to be around since the 1830s when the stereoscope was invented by David Brewster (Velu, 2010). By the mid 1850s cameras could capture in 3D (Velu, 2010). 3D movies were around in the 1950s, but we didn't really start seeing the technology until about the 1970 to the 1980s. This was when 3D movies such as, “Jaws 3D and Friday the 13th (part III) were released.” (Velu, 2010). 3D viewing was primarily in movie theaters up until 2010 when 3D ready televisions were released, but nowadays we do not see 3D television being sold as much anymore due to low demands. Now our market is starting to focus on the 4K television.
A television with a 4K display has the ability to display programs at a horizontal pixel density of 4000 pixel. Our current tele...

The film industry has always been a modern industry where new inventions are constantly on the rise and put into films to improve the film lovers’ movie experiences. Just a few years ago, the world was introduced to a new third dimension. Instead of just using your imagination to put yourself in the same room as the characters on the screen, the 3-D effect did it for you. In Roger Ebert’s “Why I Hate 3-D,”
A TV signal is captured by a camera and then manipulated during program production. At this point the video must be at its highest quality and full bandwidth for recording, editing and special effects purposes. Then the TV signal needs to be compressed for economical transmission and storage. The possible efficiency of compression depends on a couple of factors. If a signal will be further edited and manipulated in the receiving studio it must maintain a relatively high quality and therefore can’t be compressed as much as a signal that will be sent directly to the viewer’s TV set. Also, the extent to which a signal can be successfully compressed depends on the type of program (E.g. movies can be compressed more than sports). Nevertheless, a typical program mix will fit up to 10 digital television channels on one transmission line.
Technicolor created America’s first motion picture process in 1916. Exactly a century later, it’s introducing a hub for augmented and virtual reality.

One of the largest “booms” that this country has witnessed is in the area of the ultimate “entertainment” source, the television. The growth in popularity of the use of the television is harming Americans in every aspect of their lives,
...ors long-dead could be digitally produced. If this is so, then the question is raised of who controls the use and profits from their work. It also raises many ethical issues. Overall, technology in the film industry has come a long way and it has brought many exciting and helpful inventions for film. However, with new technology also brings some issues and questions for the future of the film industry.
Movies are a great way to take a break from your hectic life and just relax. Movies have been entertaining you and everyone around the world since the mid 1800’s. The evolution movie went from black and white pictures to color and sound to finally 3-D film. Directors, artists, and inventors took hundreds of years to just perfect putting the one by one captured pictures in a fluid motion to make a ten second movie. So, just think about trying to create the 3D effect or even how movies were created.
Before television existed people had to depend on Radio stations to receive their little bit of entertainment and news. But in 1878, the invention of TV began. The first TV made didn’t look anything like the way TV’s look today. It was a mechanical camera with a large spinning disc attached to it (Kids Work). But as over the years, of course, inventions of different TV’s progressed and by the 20th century about 90 percent of our population had a TV in their household (MGHR). Television today is mainly used for people take a break from their life by relaxing and enjoying some entertainment.
This book report is on the society of the spectacle by guy Debord. It is a theory that our society is dominated by images and characterizes and drives our consumer society. The images we see are seen through various methods such as Advertisements, television and other media outlets along with banners and signs. People in consumerism see images of things for them to buy and they go and but things and the reality that the world makes becomes what they are about. Regardless if the people have the money or not they can get credit and pay for it with money they don’t have. This idea of credit for everyone helps the people with power to attain more money and power. The more technology progresses the easier it becomes to enhance the consumer society and move into new market areas and continue to move forward with the new way of life in American and the world.

A young cinematographer by the name of Morton Heilig once said “If we're going to step through the window into another world, why not go the whole way?' (Tate,Scott 1996) In 1957 he created the device known as the Sensorama. The device was designed to use all your senses and also projected a form of stereoscopic 3D to the front and the sides of your head. It was patented the "experience theatre", however it failed to work commercially because it was very expensive to make films and the process was t...
Motion pictures have been entertaining people of all languages from their beginnings in silent films, to television and now on the World Wide Web. This essay will be discussing the recent history and innovations of both film and television as well as the advent and growth of the franchise, the merging of the two medias, the synergy of both motion medias into the New Media, and the effect of New Media on their future.
In the following text I am going to answer this questions focusing on television and movies in the near future.
