3D
technology is not new it was developed in the late 1890’s by many different
individuals: William Friese-Greene,
Etienne-Jules Marey and Louis Aime’ Augustin Le Prince. This new hardware
began the stereoscopic era of motion pictures. However, this form of film was
not widely excepted or produced because it was expensive to create. In this new
era of 3D film IMAX lead the way, using 3D films as educational tools which
allowed for mathematical correctness.

video games, and cinemas.

needed to create them. This brings to mind that 3D films previously were highly
expensive to create and with the resurgence of 3D films that the cost may have
come down.

occur?
This
technology may be replaced by virtual display. Televisions, computers, video
games, and cinema may soon have virtual displays for audience to participate in

Hello Kaija,
Your blog gives a nice historial sequence of the technology. It makes me reflect on how some groups of students/teachers never get to utilize a new technology due to costs associated with the product. Sometimes, it's the digital divide that prevents users from being exposed to emerging technologies.
