3Dwalkthroughs.com has been holding off about writing about the new wave of 3D movie's hitting theaters until the box office results were released. This past weekend, the highest grossing movie in the country was the animated 3D epic Beowulf released in 742 theaters across North America.
The renewed interest in 3D movies is due in part to the new technology used to create the 3D effect. The new generation 3D technology is said to prevent the nausea and sickening feeling associated with old 3D movies.
There are many new 3D movies in the pipleine including "Avatar" by James Cameron, Stephen Spielberg and Peter Jacksons "The Adventures of Tin Tin." and a remastering of George Lucas's Star Wars.
Very soon, the ability to watch these same 3D movies at home will be as easy as flipping a switch. Dynamic Digital Depth or DDD, launched in 2005, is responsible for the TriDef Vision+ 3D set-top box.
According to DDD, Vision+ automatically converts most popular consumer video formats to 3D as they are watched, allowing any broadcast or DVD content to be presented in 3D. When the viewer decides to watch in 3D, he simply activates the Vision+ set top box using the remote control and puts on a pair of 3D glasses. The system then delivers a 3D image from any viewing position in the living room with the same clarity and quality as the latest 3D digital cinemas.

As the ability to view 3D movies at home becomes the norm, 3Dwalkthroughs.com will be sure to start thinking of the elements we can add to our 3D Walkthroughs to make objects literally jump off the screen. Beware of opening a closet that looks too full.
