New 3D Boom Comin’ At Ya!
Yahoo! News is running an interesting piece on the current 3D boom we’re experiencing, and what IMAX is doing about it. I’ve seen a couple of 3D IMAX films, and the combination of stereovision and a huge honking image is tough to beat. Plus, it’s about time we had another 3D boom, since it’s been 22 years since the last one suffered an ignominious end.
By my count, this makes the sixth time 3D has been popular (1880 or therabouts to 1900 or so, a tiny boomlet in 1920s New York, the Big One in 1952-1953, a porn-fueled 1968-1972 boom, and the 3D renaissance in the early eighties).
If you’re interested in 3D, you might want to grab your red-blue anaglyph glasses and head over to one of my sub-sites, Anaglyph @ Atomic Deathray.
