2010 seems to be a year that has embraced 3D technology more than ever before. 3D has started to pave a way for a new dynamic to movies that actually works. We’ve seen this technology before but there seem to be far less complaints this time around than there have been before, with movies like Avatar becoming the highest grossing film ever made – helped no end by the more expensive tickets and demands to go and see a 3D movie. In this infographic, we get to see exactly where 3d has come from right up to where we are now.

Did you know that 3D technology has been around for over 100 years? Research is predicting that by the end of 2010, more than 50 broadcasters and pay-TV providers will offer 3D services in the home.  Does it come as a surprise that it has taken over 100 years to get 3D technology to this stage?

Sony have just sent us this infographic detailing how 3D has changed over the past century showing that, since the first patent for the 3D movie process way back in 1890, 3D has been popular and continually developed over the years with companies like Sony now bringing 3d into the home for the first time. They forecast that half of all televisions made in 2014 will be 3D-capable.

So what are your thoughts on 3d? Have you already gone out and bought a 3d TV or will you be buying one in the future? Is it something that you’re not bothered in the slightest about?

I’ve placed both a 3d and a 2d version of the info graphic below. If you have a pair of 3d glasses at home, check it out in 3d!
