3-D Entertainment within Your Reach at Home

3-D (or 3D) movies is the in thing in the 21st century. Who wouldn't want to watch a movie where the scene in front of you is seemingly real enough to grab? Yes, it's what's giving theater-release movies the crowd draw amidst rampant optical media piracy. After all, 3-D is something that you can only experience to the fullest in moviehouses and with the right equipment - like polarizing 3-D glasses.

But the at-home-movie-watching experience may not be far behind when it comes to enjoying 3-D. New technology now brings 3-D into your television at home, particularly with digital light processing (DLP) high definition viewing systems.

The 3-D DLP television system was first introduced in 2007. Just like in a 3-D movie, this displays two images - one for the left eye and another for the right one. They are combined for the viewer with special shutter glasses which are part of the synchronization process. Of course, you would still need graphics or video source content that's compatible with the format.

Save gas! Turn your car into a water hybrid.
