Dolby 3D Cinema

Believe your eyes

Dolby 3D

Dolby 3D technology provides vivid color and a sharp, clear image from every seat in the house. This system produces the highest quality 3D images without requiring a special screen or battery-powered glasses.

How It Works

Dolby 3D projects rapidly alternating full-color images for the left eye and right eye that use slightly offset primary-color frequencies.

The audience wears passive glasses with high-fidelity color spectrum filtering lenses that are precisely tuned to specific color bands.

Unlike other 3D systems that manipulate the projected image, Dolby 3D technology filters the light prior to the image being formed, producing an exceptionally crisp, clear image.
