Collaborating with FIFA, Sony has managed to make football’s governing body to allow them to capture 25 matches at South Africa 2010 in full 3D mode, allowing football fans all around the world to watch the most important matches on the planet in a 3D-perspective! Well, if you are indeed a football fan, this would interest you greatly, but if you are not, then you would do well to flip the page!

Watching a tournament as huge as the World Cup in 3D would indeed be a breathtaking experience, as it provides you with the feeling of almost being at the stadiums themselves in South Africa! Then again, you would need to have a compatible TV set to be able to obtain this viewing pleasure.

Using the world’s most watched sports as the medium to market their 3D TVs is indeed a masterful tactic by Sony, and broadcasting the matches through 3D-perspective would give viewers an absolutely amazing and different experience than ever before! And before you know it, the 3D-craze would be all over the place, with Sony leading the pack as the pioneers!

If you aren’t about to get a 3D TV set yourself, don’t you fret! Sony have confirmed that they are hosting “Fan Fests” in seven different cities across the globe to introduce to the world the ultimate experience of 3D-cameras and TVs, and the ever-popular 3D Bravia sets would be set into prominence here without a doubt! The Sony Bravia comes with the futuristic RealD 3D technology that would certainly blow you away, technology-wise! Fans could watch their favourite team play and battle in out against each other in 3D, and what better stage than the World Cup?

The 3D-mania is set to take over the globe, and is the next-big thing without a shout of a doubt! The question remains, when will you choose to be part of this craze? Why not let Sony convince you?

In the early days, movies were rudimentary and short, lasting no more than a couple of minutes. One peculiar thing about these movies was that they were all silent. Though inventors tried to incorporate synchronous sound with the pictures, no practical method was devised till the late 1920s. But that did not stop these silent movies and their stars from becoming timeless classics.

Recognize him? Yes, that’s Charlie Chaplin, one of the most well known comedians of all time.

By the 1930s, the sound problem was solved and movies really took off, heralding in what is known as the Golden Age of Hollywood. This era is filled with great classics like Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind and King Kong. Hollywood stars also flourished and many of them, like Clark Gable, Katharine Hepburn, and Humphrey Bogart are still admired to this day. No small feat, when you consider that all these movies were in black and white.

Color movies only went mainstream in the mid 1950s with the introduction of the monopack color film by Eastman Kodak. From there, advances in film and also audio technology vastly improved movies, opening up entirely new and novel avenues for storytelling.

Today, movies are an immersive audio visual experience that leaves its audience spellbound. Most movies boast of surround sound and usually come in hi-definition format, able to deliver superb quality sound and crisp, clear visuals. The use of special effects and CGI (computer generated imagery) also enables movie makers to bring our very imagination to the screen.

New developments in movie technology, such as 3-D format, promises to bring movies to an entirely new level. Could we actually see the development of a 3-D interactive entertainment system in the future? Only time will tell.

If that ever comes true, I would want a Star Trek holodeck for Christmas please.
