At first, films were silent, then sound was added; Cinema and television were initially black-and-white, then

colour TV was introduced. Stereoscopy experiments began in the 19th century

Binocular parallax-Binocular parallax refers to the ability of the eyes to see a solid object and a continuous surface behind that object even though the eyes see two different views. Motion parallax-It means information at the retina caused by relative movement of objects as the observer moves to the side (or his head moves sideways). Depth perception-It allows the beholder to accurately gauge the distance to an object. It is the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions.

Stereographic images- It means two pictures taken with a time separation that are then arranged to be viewed simultaneously. Stereoscope-It is an optical device for creating stereoscopic (or three dimensional) effects from flat (two-dimensional) images; D. Brewster first constructed the stereoscope in 1844. Holographic Images-A luminous, 3D,transparent,coloured and nonmaterial image appearing out of a 2D medium, called a hologram.

Acquisition Transmission Display Unit

 Acquisition

The acquisition stage consist of an array of the hardware synchronized cameras. CCD image Sensors MPEG-2 Encoding PCI card.

 Transmission

Gigabit Ethernet A transmission technology, enables super net to deliver enhanced network performance.

 Display Unit

The receiver side is responsible for generating the appropriate images to be displayed.

Anaglyphic 3D: It provides a 3D effect when viewed with 2 colour glasses (each lens a chromatically opposite colour, usually red and cyan). Images are made up of two colour layers, but they are offset with respect to each other to produce a depth effect. Usually the main subject is in the centre, while the foreground and background are shifted in opposite directions.

Polarization 3D:
Two images intended for each eye are displayed from two separate projectors. Each image is projected with a polarization mutually orthogonal to the other polarization. Polarized 3D Glasses are then used with polarized filters to ensure that each eye receives only the intended image. Each eye perceives a different image resulting in the 3D effect.

 Alternate-frame Sequencing:
The movie is filmed with two cameras. Then the

images are placed into a single strip of film in alternating order. The film is then run at 48 frames-per-second. Each eye's glass contains a liquid crystal layer which has the property of becoming dark when voltage is applied, being otherwise transparent.

3D TVs without glasses

Parallax Barrier Lenticular Lens

Holographic Displays:The holographic image is true three-dimensional. It can be viewed in different angles without glasses. Lenticular Display: the lenticular sheet is a line of array of narrow cylindrical lenses called lenticules. The purpose of the lenses is to focus more of the light into a horizontal beam and allow less of the light to escape above and below the plane of the viewer.

In the field of medicine, education. Commerce, Museum. In Engineering field for Simulation and Visualization. Entertainment and Gaming. Military and Communication field. Richer ,Lifelike and entertaining experience than 2D TV for home users.

 Greater 3D experience requires glasses to be worn while viewing. No defined industry standard for 3D hardware, software & TV components. High production and transportation costs of 3D video information. Health problems may occur.
