The long history of 3 D technology can be drawn the way back to the start of photography. A new invention by David Brewster in 1844, Stereoscope could take 3 D photographic images. At the Great Exhibition in 1851, a picture of Queen Victoria taken by Louis Jules Duboscq, using the improved technology became very well known throughout the world. Soon, the craze for steroscopic cameras caught on and these were quite commonly used by World War II. Read on to gather more info on history of 3 D technology. In the coming years, there were further improvements in the technology, as the history of 3 D technology reveals. Kinematascope, a stereo animation camera was invented, followed the first anaglyph movie was produced in 1915. In 1922 the first public 3 D movie, The Power of Love, was produced and it was in 1935 that the first 3 D Color movie was produced. As per the history of 3 D technology, the use of this technology was to remain latent for over a decade. The 1950s saw a comeback for the 3 D technology. During these times, TVs had become very popular. By 1950, a number of 3 D movies were being created, for instance, Bwana Devil, House of Wax and many more. But not all movie theaters were operational with the 3 D technology. In the 1960s, in the history of 3 D technology, a new technology known as Space- Vision 3 D was released. This new technology removed the need to use two cameras to display 3 D movies. The first movie to use this technology was The Bubble and the 3 D experience still lured in huge audiences.

Reviewed by Kenneth Brown, May 16, 2012 Truth in advertising. Never mind the fact that without commercial breaks History of the World in Two Hours 3 D clocks in at 88 minutes. Never mind the fact that its 3 D presentation is little more than a marketing gimmick. Never mind the fact that a two-hour special couldn't hope to cover 13.7 billion years of chemical, thermodynamic, geological, biological and cultural history in one fell swoop. The History Channel's warp-speed overview of the origins and evolution of Earth is both a mildly engaging greatest hits reel and, if you have children, a fairly entertaining and educational introduction to the building blocks of life, the rise of man, and the development of the modern world. But is it true to its name? Read on. It's important to remember just how small a slice of history we actually occupy. To make things simple, imagine compressing 14 billion years of history down to just 14 years. On this scale, the Earth would have existed only for the past five years. So that's about a third of the history of the universe. Large, complex creatures would have developed seven months ago. On this scale, dinosaurs went extinct only about three weeks ago. The entire recorded history of humans would span only the last three minutes. Modern industrial societies, the Industrial Revolution, effectively, six seconds ago. What this shows is that we humans have been around for only a brief instant in the recorded history of the universe.
