3D Cinema: Future Or Fad?
http://www.raindance.org/3d‐cinema‐future‐or‐fad/
….3D has been very consistent over the last 4 years, so at the moment it seems that it is
going to stick around for a few years at least. Studios just make too much money from
new releases and re‐releases to stop it simply because of some peoples opinions. For me,
3D can continue to be shown in cinemas just as long as the option for a 2D alternative still
exists…..
3D movie revenues hit all‐time low in US, 'The Wolverine' is 'worst yet

3D in 2013: Exhibitors project on the future of stereoscopic cinema
…From 2009 to 2010, the amount of box office from 3D films doubled, rising from $1.1
billion of the U.S./Canada box office to $2.2 billion, according to MPAA‐reported figures.
The industry was riding high, and studios rushed to release movies either filmed in or
converted to 3D. But the very next year, instead of continuing its meteoric rise, 3D box
office declined 20%, to a total of $1.8 billion. As initial interest in the format waned,
Hollywood was still ramping up its 3D product, leading to a situation where supply rose as
demand weakened…..

New tech could mean 3D movies with no glasses
http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/21/tech/innovation/3d‐movies‐no‐glasses/index.html
The new method would allow movie theaters to keep their projectors where they've always
been, behind the audience, and uses fairly simple optical technology. A special array sits in
front of the projector and polarizes its light. A filter covering the screen then obscures
different vertical regions of the screen, like the slats of venetian blinds. Each of your eyes,
sitting at a slightly different angle, has some of the screen blocked and some of the screen
visible. The movie has the right‐eye and left‐eye images interleaved in vertical columns with
one another. The trick then is to have the light visible to your left eye contain the left‐eye
pixels and vice versa for the right eye.
No‐glasses 3‐D movie theaters are getting closer to reality

South Korean researchers have created a new method to show 3‐D movies without a need
for glasses or extra projectors. The method is similar to existing ones but adds a new twist
— literally…..

3D TV is dead
ExtremeTech http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/145168‐3d‐tv‐is‐dead
At CES 2012, you couldn’t move for 3D TVs, ugly polarizing spectacles, and — because the
viewer at home can’t take part in the awesomeness that is 3D — those awful, it’s‐so‐real‐it’s‐
bursting‐out‐of‐the‐screen posters …. At IFA — the big, mid‐year consumer electronics event
in Berlin — it was clear that 3D TV was on its way out. Today, at CES 2013, 3D TV is dead…..
IFA: Move over 3D, it’s time for 4K UHDTV
http://www.extremetech.com/electronics/135327‐ifa‐move‐over‐3d‐its‐time‐for‐4k‐uhdtv
After five years of trying to convince us that 3D TVs are the future, it seems TV makers are
finally ready to move on — to 4K UHDTV. At the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin,
Sony, Toshiba, and LG are all showing off 84‐inch 4K (3840×2160) TVs. These aren’t just
vaporware, either: LG’s TV is on sale now in Korea (and later this month in the US), Sony’s is
due later this year, and Toshiba will follow in the new year….

3D TV, Without the Glasses
http://news.sciencemag.org/2013/03/3d‐tv‐without‐glasses
…. The result was a high‐resolution video display that allowed viewers to
see full 3D images from 14 different viewing zones…..
…At a gadget show packed with fancy TVs showing off their ultra‐high‐
definition tricks, Vizio had something genuinely novel on display: 3‐D video
that can be viewed without glasses….
