What is 3D TV?

3D TV uses the same technology you might have experienced in the cinema recently to show high quality images that pop up out of the screen. More than a simple gimmick, 3D images appear crisp and have a real depth of field. 3D is having an astronomical effect on consumer spending at the cinema.

The viewer wears special electronic glasses which open and close a shutter over each eye and show a slightly different image to the left and right eye. This creates a 3D effect. The glasses connect to the sending TV via in infra-red link and the batteries are rechargeable. Hollywood is already shooting some big productions in 3D. 3D is the next big thing!
