The 3D Evolution: Part I, Introduction
I will be featuring topics related to 3D technologies in a series of future posts on the Innovative Interactivity blog.  Look forward to discussions on topics related to the history of 3D in films, virtual reality, and games.  I'll also touch on the history of 3D, including films, the evolution of 3D technologies, and the role of the virtual reality and gaming fields in this development.  I will also discuss how 3D technologies might impact the future of interactive multimedia, in education, in the home, and the web.

3D movies have been around for a very long time, but until the movie Avatar was released a few months ago, there was little to suggest that 3D would be a hot topic of discussion. Part of the reason is that we now have a variety of newer technologies that support the creation and viewing of 3D content. The most important change is that 3D displays are on the market for use in the home, opening up a new vista for multi-media advertisers and content developers, including educational programming.
Samsung and Panasonic recently unveiled 3D displays for home viewing of films such as Avatar.  Sony, Samsung, and Panasonic now offer Blu-ray disc players.   Very soon, there will be broadcasts of sports events in 3D.  3D projectors and glasses are making some headway into K-12 classrooms.
Before I dive into this topic, I want to share that I am one of the small percentage of people who do not tolerate immersive 3D experiences very well. In the past, all of my attempts at viewing anything in 3D has resulted in headaches and nausea.  Fortunately, there are some solutions to this problem that I am willing to try.  I will share them in a future post.

When I was very young with computers was very uncommon and still very new to me, I only had a NEC 386 computer and my cousin already had Intel Pentium 100MHz and above. My cousin was comparing the boot up speed among other school friends that has a computer. Measuring the computer boot time may [...]

To combat the complexity of installing programs from source, Linux in it “infinite wisdom” has provided easier ways to install things then compiling from source. I know, compiling not fun and I showed you the easy route out by also showing you how to install via the command line. I felt it is a tip [...]
