It appears that 2010 is to be the year which will unveil the phenomenon of three-dimensional television technology. The concept of three-dimensional theatrical movies has already been embraced by many and by 2010 the realm of three-dimensional technology will be broadened to home television screens.
To enable a realistic three-dimensional field one requires a three-dimensional display along with a special viewing device to project three-dimensional images on the screen. 3D television viewing will literally immerse the viewer in the projected images. Reviewers of 3D television assert that when viewing a football match on a three-dimensional television football players will literally appear to jump out of the screen.
Of course to enter three-dimensional land one still needs to possess a three-dimensional-capable high definition television. The question whether three-dimensional television technology will infiltrate our living rooms lies in the extent of popularity of 3D television and whether individuals will be ready to invest in a three-dimensional-capable high-definition television sets to enjoy three-dimensional broadcasting content.
Being totally immersed in a football match or feeling as if you are in the middle of an ice-hockey match may has its appeal to some, however in spite of the innovative features that three-dimensional television provides some critics are still skeptical whether 3D home viewing will be a success.
To experience three-dimensional television viewers would need to watch television wearing 3D glasses. In addition limited space in typical American living rooms will detract from the enjoyment of watching three-dimensional films. Another voiced concern was the lack of social atmosphere when watching three-dimensional television.
One must also consider the probable side-effects of prolonged 3D television viewing. Optical experts assert that three-dimensional pictures will surely aggravate eyestrain problems in several individuals as well as fan the flames of migraine in people who only suffer from the occasional headache.
Most technological manufacturers showcased their latest three-dimensional capable television sets at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2009. These include Sony, Philips, Samsung and LG among several others. Surprisingly the new television technology soon to hit the United States markets is not expected to deviate considerably from the prices of high definition televisions currently on the market.
The evolution of television has progressed from black and white screens to colour television, from standard picture quality to high definition television and now the shift moves on to 3D television. It all remains to be seen whether three-dimensional television will make a smooth transition to home viewing.
