Imagine sitting on the sofa with your kids to watch the epic Star Wars saga… with the lightsabers coming out from the screen! Or perhaps dragging your friends into watching your favourite Jurassic Park movie knowing they will scream each time the T-Rex seems to jump right out towards the sofa.
3-D TVs can bring you all this fun and chances are they will become very popular if technology ends up solving their few flaws.
The Past
Although 3D technology has been around for decades, it started becoming massively popular in cinemas more recently thanks to blockbusters such as Avatar. That is why TV companies were quickly interested in bringing this kind of technology into every home and they launched their 3D TVs series back in 2010. However, these innovative machines are facing two big problems now in 2016.
- Content
Purchasing a 3D TV is not choosing the cheapest device available, as one can imagine. But once you decide to take this option, the main disadvantage is that, in reality, there is not much content available to watch in 3D – especially when compared to the almost infinite range in 2D. So perhaps introducing your kids to the original Star Wars saga in stunning 3D quality is not that easy after all?
- Glasses
People don’t like having to wear them – especially those who already wear glasses and wind up having to wear the 3D specs on top. It’s a nuisance that many customers have considered a definite drawback when deciding on whether to acquire a 3D TV or not.
The Future
Will we ever enjoy 3D TVs without all these disadvantages? The answer is yes, and it will probably be very soon. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science have been investigating new ways of bringing a real 3D experience to audiences no matter where people are sitting in relation to the screen. And, of course, glasses or any other extra devices will be completely unnecessary.
This technology is very likely to reach homes soon after it makes it to the cinema. You could then enjoy lying on the sofa in the strangest position you like – yes, we know, getting comfortable is very personal – whilst still enjoying a breathtaking 3D experience.
