3D movies’ technology, a revolution!

Introduction

A 3D film or S3D(stereoscopic 3D) is a motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception.

A regular motion picture camera system is used to record the images as seen from two perspectives.

computer-generated imagery generates the two perspectives in post-production.

Sir Charles Wheatstone (1802–1875) was an English scientist and inventor of many scientific breakthroughs of the Victorian era, among these we find the stereoscope (around 1844)(a device for displaying three-dimensional images).
