Is 3D the Wave of the Future in TV and Movies?

With the smashing critical and box office ticket sales success of the film Avatar, a long awaited 3D fantasy picture, everyone is talking about three dimensional entertainment. This is not the 3D of yesteryear either, my friends. No, this is much more advanced, much more awe inspiring, and much more expensive to produce as well.

I can remember back in the eighties, going to see 3D movies. Back then, that was quite a treat, but the technology has evolved so far beyond just donning the goofy paper glasses to get the effects. We now have the ability to make pictures specifically for the three dimensional experience, which enhance the previous cheap effects.

It seems that 3D had been long forgotten until now. The interest in the entertainment value has skyrocketed recently, and now there are a few huge film makers who are vying to get their hands on a script that is conducive to this new and sensational avenue.

You see, unlike old 3D where the film was produced in a traditional format, "new" 3D is different because a lot of the effects are also produced digitally on screen, and this only further enhances the viewers experience when they put the special glasses on. Also, there are specific theaters that have the digital technology and screens that make the pictures pop out even more, inciting gasps, oohhs and ahhs from the audience.

These newer digital techniques which use colors, depth perception tricks and other image manipulations to fool the human eye, will become more commonplace as we see the demand for newer types of entertainment from the movie going public. Incredibly, one of the areas of the economy that has not suffered as greatly as the rest of the consumer driven sectors, is entertainment.

Hollywood knows they need to take advantage of customer's desire to see new, groundbreaking, awe inspiring film making, and there are always cutting edge directors and film makers who are more than glad to heed this call. Expect to see more and more theaters equipped for these types of movies as well.

Right now, IMAX pretty much has the corner on the market for high tech picture and sound quality. We'll see if they attract any competitors if this trend proves to be a bit more long lasting than your typical flash in the pan with finicky consumers.

3D is not only forecasted to become the hot new medium in movies, but it also is predicted to be in many people's homes in the next decade. The sale of new, high tech three dimensional equipped televisions has already caused quite a sensation, and as long as those sell, there is sure to be a development for that market in the works.

One thing is for sure, we certainly have come a long way from the generic effects of yesteryear when you could go see movies like Jaws III in this format. It leaves one to wonder, what's next? How could we possibly go any further up on the technology ladder when we've come astoundingly far already? Well, that's the great thing about human ingenuity and curiosity, if you can imagine it, you can pretty much make it happen.
