Should I Buy A 3D TV Now, Or Can I Wait till The Prices Come Down?
Therefore should we actually all be ditching our old ( or in truth actually pretty new ) sets in favor of a new 3D television? If we do, what will we watch? And will we need special specs to do so? Fear not we’ve got the answers.
How does 3D television work?
“It displays 2 pictures on the screen at once, with the footage moving further apart or closer together to make pictures appear that they have depth,” claims Christian Brown, senior class executive at Sony. How the image is delivered relies on the 3D system being used how many cameras split the image during filming and where in the process they are brought back together. “But they eventually work on the same grounds the two pictures together trick your cortex into believing the image is three dimensional.”
What wizardry is this?
It’s not actually as thrilling as you would think. If something is filmed in 3D, like U2′s recent 3D concert, it’s done on 2 cameras that sit side by side. If you’re watching something that is essentially normal footage with 3D effects added on such as Clash of the Titans the 3D image will come thanks to effects-box cunning.
Will I need to wear those glasses?
Yes which may make getting your mates over to watch the footie a slightly more complex logistical exercise.
