Happy National 3-D Day! On the third day of the third week in March, today celebrates the art, science, and history of stereoscopic 3-D imagery.
Every year on this month, on the third day of the third week of the third month, we explore the technologies used to create 3-D photographs, movies, and art, and we celebrate the many ways that these images have been viewed and enjoyed.
We experience the world in three dimensions because we have two eyes which see from slightly different perspectives. These two points of view are combined in our brains, and the differences between what our eyes see are perceived as depth. This is called stereoscopic vision.
The first stereo 3-D drawings were made by English scientist and inventor Sir Charles Wheatstone, in 1838. During the second half of the 19th century, viewing 3-D photographs became a very popular form of home entertainment.
Wheatstone was also best known for many scientific breakthroughs of the Victorian era, including the English concertina, the stereoscope, and the Playfair cipher.
The 20th century saw the invention of 3-D movies, comic books, holography and more ways to view representations of the world in 3-D. Recent developments in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality offer new opportunities to create and interact with 3-D media.
Advancements in 3-D technologies bring digital images to three-dimensional life, assisting surgeons, projecting art around the world, and educating students.
What does the future of 3-D hold? New developments in stereoscopic capture and display methods will prove to inspire young scientists and storytellers to create the next generation of immersive stereoscopic content. 3-D technology may change the world.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Learn about the history of 3-D technology. Explore the science behind 3-D. Invite friends and family to watch a 3-D movie. Share your favorite 3-D experiences, whether they are movies, books, or art.
When you do, be sure to use #National3DDay on social media. Visit the National 3-D Day website below for more ideas, and to learn more about 3-D.
HISTORY
3-D Space, The Center For Stereoscopic Photography, Art, Cinema, and Education, founded National 3-D Day in 2020 to recognize the fantastic history and resurgence of 3-D technology in the world around us.
Honoring three-dimensional vision on an annual basis and celebrating the way it contributes to our lives will continue to be an exciting endeavor.
The Registrar at National Day Calendar® proclaimed National 3-D Day to be observed annually on the third day of the third week in March.
