3D Technology

Introduction

 My topic is about 3D technology. The 3D technology is invented and developed to allow people to see objects in 3D display using digital electronic devices like TV and projectors. It allows the people to see the image in multi view that will look real to the human eye. It started in cinema theaters and then TVs and is still being enhanced that even smart phones and digital cameras have a 3D feature in them, technology is boosting really quick these days and this essay will tell you more about 3D technology with sufficient detail. 

Early history

My topic started as a film that contains pictures moving on  wheel to project pictures in motions creating  movie and was invented by Sir Charles who also invented the stereoscope which showed that when two pictures are viewed stereoscopically and then combined by the brain to produce 3D depth perception. Improvements were made on it in 1855 by Louis Dubosq and therefore the Kinematoscope was invented and the invention aimed to present the illusion of motion. Several advanced improvements were put on this new invention till 10^th of August in 1928 when it was the first time for the stereoscopic 3D television was demonstrated by a man called John Logie Baird in his company in 133 Long Acre London. Moreover, TVs became popular in USA in the 1950s which lead to making more movies for the cinemas.

Development

In the early stages of developing the 3D technology it was a great advancement in technology and also many enhancements were added on it throughout the years to make it better than the previous 3D inventions. hollywood, USA is the place for the largest movie companies and its also where 3D technology became popular. The IMAX company started to produce non-fiction movies in the mid 1980s for the blossoming of its business, it had a more superior technology with the image to reduce eye fatigue, and the audience watches the movie while wearing special polarized glasses that causes the effect of 3D image to them. In 1986, The Walt Disney Company had the idea of using 3D films to impress their audience; 3D movies always attracts more attention and so many 2D movies were also converted to 3D movies which means double the profit for the movie companies. 

Modern developments

Moreover, this 3D technology reached a whole new level in this present time. We can find 3D technology almost everywhere, it now exists in video games, home entertainment, businesses, engineering works, and more places are starting to use 3D technology, this shows that it became an essential part of our technology because for example it makes every normal image look interesting and eye catching and makes you see something in a way you have never seen it before which means it attracts human curiosity to see things differently. Furthermore, leading companies like IMAX became popular and opened cinemas around the world specialized for 3D movies, this shows how 3D popularity increased dramatically that even flat TVs have a 3D option in them. As time goes by, this technology will get better and better as improvements are being put to it and now there are successful attempts on making hologram images which uses the same idea as 3D but without wearing glasses and forms a still or moving image which makes things look like they are alive and in motion which is an idea that might replace the 3D technology that uses TVs or cinema screen while wearing glasses.

 Conclusion

Ultimately, I conclude that all types of technology are very important to us humans, 3D technology is a small topic picked from a very large variety of different technologies. Technology helped us a lot in our life, it made our tasks easier and with almost no effort at all, programmed machines do our work or computers that do more tasks than about 20 people at the same time. Many universities, colleges, institutes and even schools are adapting technology classes to make students ready to work in high tech places after graduation which means that these young people will lead our world to an era with high technology that will make this world high tech and cyber which allows everything to be connected together and makes life easy as long as we strive and struggle to move on with our learning to create something new and useful quickly.
