RealD 3D

REAL D Cinema is a new 3D digital projection technology. Unlike older 3D projection technology, REAL D Cinema plays 2D and 3D content using a single digital projector.

Real D utilizes a high-resolution digital projector that displays images at a higher frame rate than a typical movie -144 images per second. This is divided between the left and the right eye. A liquid-crystal screen placed before the projector lens polarizes the pictures, so the audience, wearing plastic glasses with polarized lenses, sees different images in its left and right eyes, creating the illusion of depth. The result is a 3-D picture that seems to extend behind and in front of the movie screen itself.
