Across the country, 30,000,000 people are being forced to pay $5.00 extra to spend 2 hours vomiting while everyone else watches the 3-D movie that made them nauseous. Those 30 million people represent the 5 to 10 percent of the general population (Heffernan) who have witnessed the true face of the hidden monster that is 3-D technology. Despite the positive reviews extolled by the fans and investors of 3-D, there are still major issues associated with the technology, and these issues pose a risk to the entertainment industry that threatens the health of media as we know it. 3-D technology is harming the media industry by affecting companies and consumers in negative ways. It is important to understand how 3-D technology works and how it affects the media industry in order to understand our culture and make wise entertainment and economic decisions. Hopefully, by analyzing 3-D technology, we can rescue those who have been sucked into the lie that is 3-D.
There are several ways to make a 3-D movie. The primary process of making a 3-D movie involves “filming an image from two perspectives” (Keegan.) The images are then synchronized and can be watched through special 3-D glasses. When a film is created using linear polarization, light waves are aligned vertically for a single eye and horizontally for the other. The glasses are also polarized so that each lens only permits one direction of polarization (Pracht.) The glasses allow each eye to see its own movie, creating the illusion of depth. Pracht also explains additional methods, including the eclipse method, or active-shutter technology, which rapidly alternates the right and the left images on the screen and blocks out the opposite eye with either darkening glasses or a mechanical ...

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,” (And You Should Too) he states his many arguments and then gives good supporting evidence that have some very significant points about 3-D that people don’t take into consideration. Even though his personal opinion
help of 3-D camera systems, projectors, sound effects, and shutter glasses, film makers have been able to improve science fiction movies, captivating audiences of all ages. It was not until 2004 when 3-D technology regained its popularity after having a thwarted emergence during the 1920s. The first 3-D movie was produced in 1922. Although Avatar is considered the best 3-D film ever made, several movie critics disagree, arguing that “House of Wax”, produced in 1923, has been the best 3-D movie so
Virtual Worlds Defined Modern virtual worlds are massive, simulated environments that can be accessed via the World Wide Web. Virtual worlds can be categorized into two distinct groups: “gaming” virtual worlds and “social” virtual worlds. As their names imply, these two categories of virtual worlds are distinguished by their overall purposes. The first type is designed primarily for game play, and the second type almost exclusively for communications. Gaming virtual worlds also abbreviated as

fractals than what meets the eye. For years, the mathematics behind these "pretty images" has been applied in fields of nature, technology, computer graphics, and most recently - in cancer research. Cancer, like many other aspects of the natural world, cannot be described using the standard Euclidian geometry of smooth shapes. Rather, cancer is highly complex and irregular. Fractal geometry provides a way to quantify the irregularity and raggedness of cancerous tumors, aspects which previously
Utopian society. In this Genesis, man’s disobedience to G-d has shown the world that people will always challenge authority and laws were meant to be broken. In We, by Yevgeny Zamyatin, and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, the societies in both texts resemble the characters in Genesis by either characteristics or by the actual role that they play in (their) society. The one recurring theme within all three texts told by either G-d in Adam and Eve, Big Brother in Nineteen eighty-four, or the
