1981 |
Comin at Ya! is released in anaglyphic format using the “over and under” process (where two views are printted on a single frame, one above the other). This film launches the 3D boom of the 1980s that includes Amityville 3-D, Friday the 13th Part III and Jaws 3-D. |

3D was first created back in the 1950 in order to give movie goest a better experience and encourage more people to make a trip to the movie theater in order for the production companies to gain more revenues.
However, because it was extremely expensive to produce 3D films, and there were a lot of technological difficulties back then, 3D films occurred only on rare occasions.
In the 80s 3D make a comeback thanks to the invention of the VCR.
Today, 3D is not just for movies anymore, one cam find 3d video games, 3D televisions for watching regular TV and there is the 3D laptop.
Even wore exciting is that many companies are working to create more 3D products, including the Toshiba no glasses 3D TV, turn to the Links page to see an article about that.
