While the TVs have received a lot of hype and good previews, there is a hidden cost that [...]

GET ready for giant robots and battleground debris to come flying out of the cinema screen at you. Transformers director Michael Bay last year described 3D as “a pain in the neck” and a technological fad, saying he preferred old-school filmmaking and that his shooting style was too aggressive for 3D cameras. Then along came Avatar [...]

There are several different methods of 3D production and delivery. The technique employed in the film Avatar is known as steroscoping, which involves two cameras placed apart at the average distance between two eyes; then using two projectors and polarised glasses the brain processes depth. Alternatively you have an approach called anaglyphic, which is a [...]

Sony is betting on 3D in the next round of TV wars, but I reckon it will appeal more to gamers than sports fans. Sony unveiled its first 3D TVs this week, along with its IPTV plans. To be honest I’m more excited about the prospect of decent IPTV than I am about 3D TV, the [...]

AVATAR director James Cameron says a seismic shift is about to occur in television in Australia with the advent of 3D content Cameron, at Warner Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast to check progress on his new 3D movie Sanctum, says 3D will be the norm before we know it. “Oh, it’s all happening at an [...]

3-D movies is the short name for a Stereoscopic 3-D film, a illusionary motion picture technology which has its roots based in stereoscopic photography. Based on the principle of depth perception (three-axis rule, also known as the third dimension), stereoscopic photography creates the 3 dimensional illusion by shooting the image at two slightly different angles. The glasses [...]

You’ve worn the glasses. Seen the demos. Winced at objects flying out the screen. And you’re ready to buy a 3D TV. Congratulations, brave early adopter.

Panasonic showed off its first 3D plasma to CNET and we have to admit we were gobsmacked. The 3D element was very immersive, and almost as good as the cinema, but we think the technology hinges on lots of quality content becoming available.

LG is to start shipping its LX9500 3D TV from 19 May, if a leaked roadmap direct from LG itself is to be believed.

Producing 3D high-definition pictures requires new camera systems that incorporate two lenses-to generate separate images for the left and right eye-and displaying them in the living room means buying a new HDTV set that comes with special glasses to assemble the 3D images.

That’s because Atari, which has been increasing its efforts to mine its video game library in Hollywood, has tapped Missile Command [...]

For over a year now, I’ve been referring to one quote from James Cameron over and over in the many articles I’ve written about 3D. Cameron stated way back in 2008 at the 3D Entertainment Summit, while talking about Alice in Wonderland (which is incidentally due out in a few weeks), that it “doesn’t make any sense to shoot [...]

Would you be shocked to learn that the massive success of “Avatar” has spawned more than a dozen 3D movies in the months ahead? Nah, I didn’t think so. What was once a trickle of animated and IMAX 3D movies has become a flood, fueled in part by our box office-conquering blue buddies on Pandora. [...]

The word is that watching Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland is the closest you can come to falling down the rabbit hole yourself and into Lewis Carroll’s fantasy world. Those who have seen the film, or clips of it, say that it is utterly breathtaking, a hallucinatory alternate universe completely realised in every detail, from [...]
