Following a number of popular feature films that were not too long ago shown in 3D, more and more film and tv media is being made to allow the viewer to watch in 3D. Even so 3D is not a new idea and has been around for nearly 100 years. Incredibly the first 3D glasses and film appeared in 1922.

Until now the viewing public had lost interest in this remarkable technology most likely as a result of previous poor quality of viewing material. Nonetheless 3D technology has advanced and continues to do so at a fast pace and now nearly a century on 3D is back in a massive way.

On account of the clever way that our brains alter images received via our eyes, it's necessary to put on special 3D glasses to view a movie or show. There are two kinds of 3D glasses passive and active 3D glasses. In brief, passive glasses are polarized in order to separate the image so that your right eye only sees the correct image for that eye and the left eye only sees the right image for the left eye, using coloured lenses. Passive lenses are quite low cost and are generally only suitable where the surrounding area is dark, therefore ideal for a cinema.

Even though active 3D glasses had been created more for the gaming industry it truly is now apparent that they're able to also be effective in creating a clear, high quality and high resolution image in the film and Tv industry. Even though they operate on exactly the same principle as the passive glasses using coloured polarized lenses they also adjust the amount of light passing through the glasses allowing a single image into each eye. This is done at such a speed that you just do not notice when each lens is darkening. This is controlled by an emitter which is built into the television.

There are quite a few trustworthy companies now supplying 3D televisions for example Samsung. Also, as well as the standard Samsung active 3D glasses, available now there are Bluetooth 3d glasses which are feather light and can be operated wired or wireless, they include a range of fitting possibilities for comfort and have the ability to add prescription glass as well. These are compatible with practically all the Samsung LCD TVs and their plasma HDTVs.
