Only one cinema in New York ever installs it, running a series of 3D shorts and one feature - The Man from M.A.R.S. Audience members look through viewing machines resting on the arms of each seat in the house, which alternately open and close shutters in front of each eye in time with the corresponding frames appearing on the screen. A single strip of film is projected at a screen with the the images for the left and right eyes rolling past one frame after the other. Cassidy and Laurens Hammond (inventor of the Hammond Organ) come up with an alternative method of 3D film viewing, called Teleview. The 3D images are produced by using two film strips projected on top of one another - one using reds, the other greens - which are then viewed using the the anaglyph colour filter glasses. The tests come to nothing in the way of further production.ġ922 The Power of Love, the first feature film in 3D, is screened at the Ambassador Hotel Theatre in Los Angeles. The footage is of oriental dancing girls and Niagara Falls amongst other performances and presented using the red/green glasses to decipher it. Waddelland and screened to an audience at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York. The invention is successful but ignored for mass market because of being impractical for large scale theatre use.ġ915 The first 3D test reels for the cinema are produced by Edwin S. His idea is for a stereoscope machine that rushes two strips of film through in synchronisation. The idea is popularised by a famous 3D image of Queen Victoria on display at the Great Exhibition of 1851.ġ890 British 3D pioneer William Friese-Greene files a patent for the first 3D motion pictures. The effect is usually produced by placing two images of the same subject inside a viewing box or Stereoscope - as introduced by David Brewster - which uses lenses to converge the images onto one another and allow the illusion to work. Beginningsġ840 Stereoscopy (3D imaging) is invented by Charles Wheatstone and used to view stills and make them seem to pop out at the viewer. For a better understanding of the science behind, watch out for our "How does 3D work" feature later today but for now take a ride with us from when another dimension jumped out of the silver screen. 3D has been around in one form another for over 150 years, from early stereoscopes to the golden era of the 50s and the boom we're seeing today.
