To fathom how 3D TV technology works, one must find out how our eyes work. Our eyes are several centimeters apart from each other and therefore receive the input image from different positions. Our brain uses that information and is smart enough to mesh the two different images into one single view, creating depth, and making what we see 3 dimensional or 3D.

3D TV sets work in somewhat theewhat the way, one way or another they transmit two distinctive images to your eyes in a very precise way that it knows your brain will alter the incoming image into 3D after processing it.

Tricking the brain in this way is no easy accomplishment, and for for some time now the simple and cheap technology was to use colored glasses that had a large drawback of limiting the number of colors that you could enjoy a movie in.

Today, bigger TV manufactures such as Sony have improved on the process that with shutter glasses the full spectrum of colors can be enjoyed. Panasonic is one of the manufactures that has now developed an auto stereoscope system that will make it possibleke it possible make 3D viewing possible without the need of uncomfortable glasses at all.

All in all, the 3D TV industry is still in its early years, but many leading companies are investing immensely into it in hopes that it will be the next big gadget. If movies such as Avatar are anything to go by, the chances of success are pretty eminent. Now it is up to the industry to improve technology and make it less of a burden, reduce prices, and generate enough content through 3D games, 3D movies, 3D episodes of popular series, and 3D TV channels.
