My name is Karim and I wanted to start this blog as there is an emerging interest of all things 3D out on the Internet, such as 3D TV.

A History of 3D

3dglassesAs Wikipedia states:

3D imaging dates to the beginning of photography. In 1844, David Brewster introduced the Stereoscope, a device that could take photographic pictures in 3D. It was then improved by Louis Jules Duboscq and a famous picture of Queen Victoria was displayed at The Great Exhibition in 1851. By the Second World War, stereoscopic (3D) cameras for personal use were already fairly common.

The 3D movie development was parallel to the development of 3D pictures and images. Already in 1855 the Kinematoscope was invented, that is the Stereo Animation Camera. The first anaglyph movie was produced in 1915 and in 1922 the first public 3D movie was displayed – The Power of Love! In 1935 the first 3D color movie was produced.

In the fifties, when TV became popular in the United States, many 3D movies were produced. The first movie was the Bwana Devil from United Artists that could be seen all across the US in 1952. One year later, in 1953, came the 3D movie House of Wax which also featured 2D sound. Alfred Hitchcock originally made his film Dial M for Murder in 3D, but for the purpose of maximizing profits, the movie was released in 2D because not all cinemas were able to display 3D films. The Soviet Union also developed 3D films,with Robinson Crusoe being their first full-length movie in 1947.

Then, television stations started airing 3D serials based on the same technology as 3D movies.

    Hi,

    I am currently looking at a new campaign for one of our major UK clients, and I wanted to get in touch to see if you would be interested in taking part with 3dtvreviewsblog.com.

    One of our major clients are currently working on making their website more visible in a particular Google search and we have indicated your site as a potential partner in this venture.

    What we would like from you is a banner on the homepage and/or an article in the form of a blog post, product review or something similar. Our content is bespoke, tailored for your site and written by one of our professional in-house copy writers; we always ensure that content is relevant to both the client and the hosting site.

    Does this sound like something you would be interested in? If so then let me know and I’ll send you more information.

    I look forward to receiving your feedback.

    Kind regards,

    Jude

    Dear Karim,

    Aaron here from Neoco, a London based Social CRM agency. I hope you’re well?

    We got in touch last month about the launch of Quantel’s new blog and Quantel have just posted an article on 3D channels around the world and the different types of programming they’re producing and we’d love to get your opinion about it. We’re really hoping to use this as the basis for a definitive list, so we’re curious to know if you’ve worked for any of these channels. Also, if Quantel have missed any from the list that you are aware of, we’d appreciate any comments or discussion you’d like to put forward for debate: http://blog.quantel.eu/2011/01/3d-channels-and-content-worldwide/

    Let me know what you think and if it’s something you’d like to cover. Plus last week we also produced our first short video Q&A – in this case with Pogo Films and the creative team behind Battle for Britain:
