UK Cinemas Get 3D Projection Rollout

Posted by samzenpus on from the reach-out-and-touch-someone dept.

CNETNate writes "The largest chain of cinemas in Britain, Odeon, has become the first chain to fully roll out 3D projection technology in its theaters. These new projectors will deliver 3D images at a resolution of 2K (2,048x1,080 pixels). Many major cities in the UK will now be able to project the new 3D movies coming out of Hollywood, without it being referred to as a novelty offered in one or two locations."

    I always make the mistake of sitting too close and then having the 3D objects end up projected behind me.

      Well, that's exactly what I'm wondering. They claim a resolution of 2,048x1,080 pixels, but wouldn't real 3d be a resolution of say, 2048x1080x1080 at least?

    Shouldn't a 3D screen have a third dimension to its resolution?
