3-D film - Scientific education & military uses

The term 3-D (or 3D) is used to describe any visual presentation system that attempts to maintain or recreate the third dimension, the illusion of depth as seen by the viewer. The basic principle involves taking two pictures, either still or moving, with cameras positioned side by side, and with identical technical characteristics. When viewed in such a way that each eye sees only the image taken on the same side as itself, the viewer's visual cortex will interpret the pair of images as a single three-dimen ...

Besides entertainment, 3-D does have serious uses. For instance, examining stereoscopic aerial images can provide insights into topography which can have scientific and military applications. 3D stereo is used in computer displays primarily for technical and scientific data,while color and historical black & white images are posted on line in anaglyph. The US Geological Survey has posted over 1500 color 3D images, illustrating the landscape of the US National Parks and Monuments. Several community colleges are now offering for cre ...

3-D film - Early History. In 1838, Sir Charles Wheatstone discovered the stereographic effect, experimenting with a primitive optical device that used mirrors. As early as 1853, Wheatstone experimented with a modified stereoscope to show 3-D paper strips with images of Hyde Park, London. Although it is unconfirmed, possibly the first publicly shown 3-D movie short (lasting approximately one minute) was made by the Brothers Lumiére in 1903 (L'Arrivée du Train), showing the arrival of a train in a r ...

As early as 1853 the Englishman Sir Charles Wheatstone experimented with a modified stereoscope to show 3-D paper strips (the perforated film had not yet been invented) with scenes filmed in Hyde Park, London. The very first publicly shown short 3-D movie (lasting only about a minute) was made by the Brothers Lumiére in 1903 (L'Arrivée du Train), showing the arrival of a train in a railway station. It was presented at the World's Fair of 1903 in Paris. It could only be viewed by one person at a time on a modified stereoscope, as a proper screening-process to divide the left and right picture ...

New technologies are coming that will allow current 2-D films to be remastered into 3-D using proprietary procedures. George Lucas has announced that he will re-release his Star Wars films in 3-D based on a conversion process from the company In-Three. James Cameron (Titanic) will shoot his new film Battle Angel 2007 in digital 3-D. The following animation films are scheduled for upcoming release: "Chicken Little" Nov 4, 2005, followed in a few months by "Monster House" "The Ant Bully" and "Happy Feet". These are all ani ...

There are several ways to create projected 3-D images. Anaglyphic Polarization Alternate-frame sequencing Pulfrich effect In the context of many computer games, 3D computer graphics refer to being composed of objects in a virtual 3-D world, not that they can be viewed in 3-D. For a stereoscopic 3-D game at least two pictures, one for each eye, are needed. ...
