Although 3D television has not fully been released to the public, there are some found scientific benefits and many opinioned benefits. Note that benefits that are opinionated came from tested surveys of those who have used the equipment.
Researchers have found there are: health, marketing, job and economic benefits that can all be related to the selling of 3D TV.
The State University of New York College of Optometry, relate 3D video to public safety and use of 3D as a means to protect eye health. Finding that because of non-proper screening of televisions and non-treatment in early life, many human beings have equipped a vision problem leading to difficulties in reading and learning (Today3D: 3D TV Health Benefits, 2011).
According to Today3D, "an estimated 10 to 20% of people cannot see 3D and this can be a warning sign of eye disease (2011)." So if in home televisions were 3D this can lead to knowing your children having an eye problem, ability to have it tested early, and better viewing for the eye because of in home 3D TV. Not only will it help discover problems in vision, it will also enhance vision, Virtual 3D gives the eyes a "sensation of depth," because it uses two identical imaging.
3D lets the eyes be in use in a unique way (Today3D: 3D TV Health Benefits, 2011). Showing that 3D technology could possibly improve health.
3D technology can also improve the economy and job availability. Manufacturers at CES publicized that 3D would not add significant cost to TV's only about $200-300 dollars. 3D TV's will also be more widely available and less expensive after alterations. The government will also add a flat panel to television prices (eternal treasures. n.d.). Another advantage to the marketing of television is the "real life" feeling you get while watching it, the images are clearer, wider color range and supports internet TV (eternal treasures. n.d.). Because there are a lot of steps into making three-dimensional movies, a lot of jobs can be added to the economy. If you are shooting, a single crew for a 3D movie works about 50 mins. on one part of one scene. Also, the amount of people increases on 3D set because of the amount of extra cameras used and still cameras (Mendiburu, p. 23-25). There can be a lot of benefits to 3D TV and most of all the job opportunities would tremendously help our economic status.
