The cinématographe in projection mode:This film camera, invented by the Lumière brothers, also served as a projector
Stereoscopic pictures have a long history, dating back to the 19th century. In 1858, the Frenchman Joseph d'Almeida is credited with creating the world's first stereoscopic still pictures, projecting anaglyph slides using red and green filters.
In 1895 the technology for moving pictures was invented by the Lumière brothers, also in France, but it was not until 1922 that the first-ever stereoscopic (anaglyph) film - The Power of Love - was shown at the Ambassador Hotel Theater in Los Angeles.
The first wave of the 3D film fad occurred between 1952 and 1954. Behind it was the desire to win back cinema audiences that had been steadily dwindling as televisions found their way into people's homes.
1981~1984 marked the second wave for 3D, this time triggered by the fact that 3D content started to be carried on cable TV. Once again filmmakers were encouraged to create 3D films.
