♤ 3D television (3DTV) is television that conveys depth perception to the viewer .
♤ Most modern 3D television sets use an active shutter 3D system or a polarized 3D system and some are autostereoscopic (without the need of glasses).
♤ The stereoscope was first invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1838
♤ It showed that when two pictures are viewed stereoscopically, they are combined by the brain to produce 3D depth perception.
♤ Stereoscopic 3D television was demonstrated for the first time on 10 August 1928 by John Logie Baird (Inventor of TV)
