3D Films
When was the earliest 3D film? (give details about how it was made.)
The very 1st 3D film that was shown to a paying audience was "The Power Of Love" that was shown at the Ambassador Hotel Theather in Los Angeles in September 27th, 1922. It was produced by Harry K. Fairall, and its cinematographer was Robert F.Elder. The film was shown using dual-strip in the red/green format, making it the very film to use dual-strips and also the 1st film where the audience needed to wear anaglyph glasses (or 3D glasses).
2.Timeline of 3D.
1900-1946: Producers, and inventors start laying down the ground work for 3D, and a few small films are produced to try and better understand how 3D works.
1950 to 1960: This was the decade where 3D had it's very 1st popularity boom, with the success of films such as Bwana Devil, Dial M for Murder, and Hondo, although these films were done using state of the art equipment, it's popularity did not last long, due to the poor quality of the films, and the amount of expensive and complex equipment needed to produce the films.
1973-1985: 3D had become forgotten to nearly all the general public. Although there were several studios large and small that tried to bring it back into the public limelight, with the production of " Jaws 3D", " Friday the 13th- Part 3", and "Coming at Ya". Although these movies were still not enough to bring 3D back into popularity and 3D once more faded from the general public's view.
1986-2000: With the release of Imax 3D, and the emergance of brand new screening technology, we once more see 3D make it's come back into the worlds sight. Although production of 3D films were limited due to prohibitive shooting costs, with this come back it has sealed it's place in the film making industry.
2001-Present Day: With the advances in technology such as animation technology, digital cameras, and the democratization of stereoscopic production and screening, the demand for 3D films has increased expentiontally, and is slowly making it;s way into it's 2nd popularity boom.
3D Movie: The Amityville Horror 3-The Demon (3D)
The movie was made in 1983, and was the very 1st Amityville Film to not be based on the "true story" of the Amityville horror.
John Baxter, separated from his wife, moves into the infamous Amityville House with plans to debunk the haunting myth for a newspaper article.

3D Imaging: Research
What is 3D?
3D is a technique that is capable of displaying and recording 3D visual information or creating a depth of illusion in the image. 3D is based on the way our eyes and brain work, seeing as each eye views objects at a different angle, it is up to our brain to take these images and make them into one whole image. 3D images try then to get a spesfic image into each eye, from there our brains would interperate the pictures as if they were actual 3D objects, thus making it a 3D image.
Imaging Methods.
Some 3D imaging methods are the "Red Eye' Method, with relies on the red component of the RGB image that is being displayed, with the blue and green component being compressed, some other methods are Autostereograms which uses random-dots which disguise the actual image, and dosent need 3D glasses.
