In pictures: The history of 3D cinema and 3D television

We look at the evolution of 3D cinema and the rise of 3D TV

3D found its feet once again in the mid-1980s with Michael Jackson’s Captain EO. This ‘4D’ adventure, named due to its in-theatre effects, was shown at Disney theme parks in the 1980s and 1990s — and will return to commemorate the King of Pop's life. It helped pave the way for the IMAX network to begin showing 3D films.
