A couple of months ago I started to wonder why more people haven’t embraced the 3D TV market and all rushed out to get a 3D television set.

My first 3D cinema experience was watching Avatar, which…

The firm has found that from Q2 to Q3 the number of 3D TVs shipped increased by almost a third (27 per cent) while tech giants predict that the time between the third…

It seems that there is a new factor hotels should consider if they want to get that five star rating.
Manila Hotel in the Philippines decided to include a 3D TV in its Presidential Suite, mainly Samsung’s 40-inch 3D TV along with a few pairs of 3D glasses and a Blu-ray Player, just in case guests brought a few 3D DVDs or tridimensional games with them.
Nevertheless, the pure 3D luxury has been introduced only to one…

Previously it has been said that watching content in 3D can trigger seizures for children with epilepsy, however a new study has suggested that the tridimensional format is no worse than the regular HD (High Definition) or SD (Standard Definition).
Nevertheless, other studies have suggested that it could cause children to have headaches, be nauseous as well as feel dizzy.
The German University of Munich has teamed up with the Austrian University of Salzburg to study the effect that the 3D format might have on 12-year-olds.
The findings,…

A recent survey by retrevo.com suggests a rather unwelcoming outlook for the future of the 3D TV market.
3D TV sales have failed to explode or to meet electronic retailers’ targets as people become increasingly disillusioned with the technology and the hassle of wearing and buying 3D glasses.
The survey claimed that only 22 per cent planned to purchase a 3D TV with a further 23 per cent saying they’d purchase a 3D TV if it was much cheaper.
However, 55 per…
