Following numerous popular feature films that were recently shown in 3D, more and more film and television media is being produced to enable the viewer to watch in 3D. However 3D isn't a new concept and has been around for almost 100 years. Astonishingly the very first 3D glasses and movie appeared in 1922.

Until now the viewing consumer had lost interest in this incredible technology possibly due to earlier poor quality of viewing material. However 3D technology has advanced and continues to do so at a quick pace and now almost a century on 3D is back in a large way.

Due to the clever way that our brains alter pictures received through our eyes, it really is necessary to wear unique 3D glasses to view a film or show. You will find two forms of 3D glasses passive and active 3D glasses. In short, passive glasses are polarized in order to separate the image to ensure that your right eye only sees the right image for that eye and the left eye only sees the appropriate image for the left eye, using coloured lenses. Passive lenses are very cheap and are typically only appropriate where the surrounding area is dark, therefore ideal for a cinema.

Despite the fact that active 3D glasses had been developed much more for the gaming market it's now apparent that they can also be effective in producing a clear, high quality and high resolution image in the movie and Tv industry. Though they work on the same principle as the passive glasses using coloured polarized lenses they also adjust the amount of light passing through the glasses allowing one image into each eye. This really is done at such a speed that you don't notice when each lens is darkening. This is controlled by an emitter that is built in to the tv.

You will find a number of reliable businesses now offering 3D televisions as an example Samsung. Also, as well as the standard Samsung active 3D glasses, offered now there are Bluetooth 3d glasses which are feather light and can be operated wired or wireless, they come with a range of fitting options for comfort and have the capability to add prescription glass also. These are compatible with virtually all of the Samsung LCD TVs and their plasma HDTVs.
