1.Introduction 3D an ever-growing technology that started in the 1800’s, started as photography and grew into a visual success, this report is going to look into the history of 3D technology and go through the how its was originally created to how its created now, to the formats that is used and what to expected in the future. Going to discuss the different styles and variations of the technology and how it has become a great success, and how there could come an end to the technology as there has been a decline in interest and the distribution of 3D Technology. 2.The History of 3D The long history of 3d technology can be drawn the way back to the start of photography. The invention stereoscope was created by David Brewster in 1844, could take 3D photographic images. In 1851 at the great exhibition a picture of queen victoria which was taken by Louis Jules duboscq using the improved technology became very well known throughout the world and after this the craze for stereoscopic camera caught on. World war II would use the cameras commonly. A stereo animation camera was invented, the kinematascope and followed the first anaglyph movie was produced in 1915. In 1922 the first public 3D movie ‘The Power of Love’ it was produced and in 1935 the first colour 3D movie was produced, the use of the technology was to then die down for decades but in the 1950’s it saw a comeback of the 3D technology, it saw a number of 3D movies created, for instance “bwana devil”, “house of wax” and many more but not all movie theatres were operational with this technology. (The History of 3D Technology) 1960’s saw a new technology; this was known as Space-Vision 3D technology, this new technology removed the need for two cameras to display 3D movies. ... ... middle of paper ... ...the red lens filters all the cyan, bluish light. Having the two different lenses allow the eyes to capture two different angles of an image or can creates two different images entirely. The brain will then merges one image with the other which creates a ‘popping’ effect, with a unified image that jumps off the screen. There are other anaglyph glasses in other colour contrasts, including magenta/green, red/green and other rare colours. The next most common type of 3D glasses are polarized, they work in a similar way as the anaglyphs, in the way they deceive the eyes into seeing one 3D image, this is done by restricting the amount of light that would enter into the eyes, however this is done in general. They present two images though orthogonal polarizing filters, which are contained in the 3D glasses; unlike the anaglyph glasses these have a yellowish-brown tint.
