IS 3D TECHNOLOGY THE FUTURE???

The 3D technology is here and will stay that way. With time, one may as well see this advanced entertainment viewing platform replacing the other TV sets greatly all across the world. The 3D technology has definitely impressed one and all who have seen a picture in 3D. If anything the super success of the many 3D theatrical films is testimonial to this fact. 3D is being promoted at most of the major electronics events all over the world. But then when it comes to sales it has been largely underwhelming. Stereoscopic capture, multi-view capture, 2D plus depth and a 3D display are the overall 3D techniques that are used to give one a clear and deeper picture or visuals that are in 3D. Samsung, Panasonic, Sony and LG are among the giant companies that are deeply involved in the mass production and selling of these 3D TV sets.

There are two technologies involved in the manufacturing of 3D TV sets. These are active 3D technology and the passive 3D technology. LG has been a leader in coming up with the passive technology based 3D TV sets. While the others, like Samsung and Sony have totally concentrated on active shutter 3D technology. Both the technologies have their own set of positives and negatives. The active technology gives a far better 3D image in terms clarity which is better then even HD while the passive technology based 3D picture doesn’t offer similar clarity. But when it comes to price, the passive technology of TV set is much cheaper.

Coming back to content, there is simply not enough 3D content available either. There are however increasing number of 3D blu-ray titles that play on a 3D Blu- Ray player which are connected to a 3D TV set. Either ways with the increasing number of competition that is taking place between the various TV Makers, the prices of 3D TV sets is bound to come down.

Sky 3D is the next step in Sky+HD journey. Sky 3D will be compatible with all 3D technology supporting Tvs. Upgrade TV experience with Sky+HD box, 3D TV and pair of 3D glasses for incredible TV viewing experience.

3D GLASSES BECOME MORE AFFORDABLE

The main issue with purchasing a 3D TV set is that it is very, very expensive. Thus one may as well opt for a new HD TV set that is much cheaper and give great High Definition picture quality that is nothing short of a treat to the eyes. But then the ones who have got a taste of the 3D TV sets are definitely smitten by it. The 3.2 million sales of the advanced and next generation of TV sets last year is testimonial to this fact that once the prices start to slash down, more and more people will opt for the 3D TV sets. The other issue is the factor of content. There simply isn’t enough 3D content available.

Talking of 3D TV, even the related 3D accessories that come with it weren’t cheap either. The 3D glasses for once are very expensive and only two pair of glasses comes with a TV set. For the extra pair one may have to spend a lot of dollars of pounds for that matter. Thus now comes the lighter range of 3D glasses that are very much light weight and pretty cheap, similar to the ones that we watch in Theatres. This doesn’t mean however that the heavier, battery-powered glasses will be done away with. Samsung Electronics sold about one million 3D TV sets in the United States itself in the year 2010. The company was rather looking at selling as many as three million to four million units of the 3D TV sets. Then comes the factor of other newer technologies that have come into play here as well.

This year at the CES 2011, advanced 3D TV sets were launched that simply did not need the use of 3D glasses. The International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas saw all the leading companies and TV makers launching their advanced TV set offering 3D vision. South Korean company LG is going to sell two models, a 47-inch and a 65-inch screen which will have the use of these lightweight and cheap 3D glasses.

Sky 3D : There are various 3D TV accessories like 3D glasses to support Sky 3D. Other accessories like 3D cameras, 3D handy cams etc. are also entering into markets. Enrich your 3D experience with these 3D accessories.
