I read a couple of books on holography but alas, holography was not something I was in a position to pursue.<\/p>\n<p>I recently came across one of those lenticular-based 3D images on the cover of a product and that got me reading about 3D technology once again. After some tests using a single camera to shoot some 3D video of static objects, I found myself hooked! I now plan to get a 2nd camera so I can shoot true stereographic video. \u00a0(But do not expect to see much here for as much as 1 to 2 months as I have too many other things to deal with before I can get to creating great 3D videos worthy of posting!)<\/p>\n<p>3D, other than in video games, seems to still be stuck in the pre-fad stage of a few experimenters. But this will change, and soon. First, Youtube is providing very good support for 3D &#8211; once a properly formatted 3D video is uploaded, Youtube offers to present the video in all of the popular 3D formats &#8211; have it your way! Second, Peter Jackson&#8217;s movie version of The Hobbit will start to come out in about one year. The Hobbit is being filmed in 3D and I suspect will greatly propel interest in 3D forward.<\/p>\n<p>3D TV will take a long time to arrive, though, because so many people have only just acquired an HDTV and are not in a hurry to rush out and purchase a new 3D HDTV. Over time, as more and more 3D TVs are in use, then 3D content will become more popular. <em>May as well start shooting 3D now as the originals shot today and can be converted to any desired format in the future!<\/em><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/toshiba-regza-55x3-4k2k-glasses-free-3d-tv-gets-11-5k-price-07200626\/\">Toshiba REGZA 55X3 4K2K glasses-free 3D TV gets $11.5k price<\/a> (slashgear.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dvice.com\/archives\/2011\/10\/200-inch-glasse.php\">200-inch glasses-free HD display offers 3D TV that doesn&#8217;t suck<\/a> (dvice.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.consumerreports.org\/electronics\/2011\/11\/video-3d-tv-versus-hd-tv.html\">Video: 3D TV versus HD TV<\/a> (news.consumerreports.org)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/prwebdisplaysearch\/3d-tv\/prweb4647084.htm\">3D TV Not Growing as Fast as TV Makers Expected in 2010, but Will Become Mainstream by 2014, with 90 Million+ Shipments<\/a> (prweb.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5860008\/3d-tv-makers-remove-their-blinkers-start-work-on-standard-3d-glasses-format\">3D TV Makers Finally Start Work on Standard 3D Glasses Format [3D]<\/a> (gizmodo.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=cf1d2cc1-a3ba-4713-b0ab-bc962b80437e\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Television rules the nation: China goes 3D | 3D Media Revolution Blog | 3D Video Player &amp; 3D Video Converter.
