3D TVs work by having two images on the screen at once, with the pictures moving away from each other or closer to each other to create a sense of depth. The cameras split these images during filming and they are then brought closer together when shown on the television. These images then create an illusion of watching something in 3D. In order to see these images in clear 3D, the 3D glasses must be worn, otherwise they will seem blurry.
While 3D may seem revolutionary, it actually is not. Having two different cameras filming something is not unheard of, and 3D movies have been made for years now. It is simply a matter of applying this idea to regular television shows, sports events, and concerts. U2's recent 3D concert is an example of an event that was filmed in 3D and can be seen on 3D TVs.
Getting a 3D television in India is possible, but they are fairly expensive. Most 3D televisions would cost around 50,000 to 70,000 Indian Rupees. That may be acceptable for people, but the problem is that most satellite TV does not have 3D channels. There are very few channels that actually show programs in 3D. For example, in England there is a Sky 3D channel which airs 3D movies and television shows and occasional football games. Other than that, there are not very many options for watching 3D programs.
3D televisions are investments for the future, though. They are capable of showing all 2D television channels in high definition quality, and as the number of 3D channels increases over time, your 3D television will become a more useful addition. That is why so many people are already buying 3D TVs. Even though satellite TV does not have too many 3D channels, there are many Disney movies that are released in 3D and some action movies are also being made in 3D now. In addition, Indian television channels are claiming that they are looking into the possibility of adding 3D programs to their line-up. This may take a little bit of time, but it clearly shows the direction satellite TV is taking towards 3D.
While having a 3D television in India is still uncommon, it is becoming more common as time goes on. Instead of buying a huge plasma or high definition TV, people are considering buying 3D televisions as they offer the same features as well as 3D. Instead of having to go to a cinema to watch the 3D version of a movie, they can do so from their own home with their family. This clearly shows that while 3D might not quite be the present of satellite TV, it is certainly the future.
