Developing Tecnologies in the TV and Film industrys.


Since 1927 when Philo Farnsworth invted the first working televison, times have changed immesnly as now we can get big 50" plasma and LCD TV's and the latest TV the 3D Televison.


3D TV's
In 3D TV's there are several techniques to produce and display 3D moving pictues, it is to display offest images that are filterd seperatly to the left and the right eye. Two strategies were used to complete it as you have to wear the eyeglasses to filter the separatly offest images to catch the eye so yo can see in 3D. In my oppinion i cant see 3D Televison taking of big as i thinks it okay without 3D obivously it would be really good to watch 3D-tv or play xbox or playstion games on them, but i dont think its worth the extra £££ when you can pay a little less for HD which is just as good.
