Where is the 3D Industry Going?

Hollywood has a slate of 40 3D productions that it plans to release over the next three years. However, the release of these films may slow down after Hollywood assesses how well recent 3D films did at the box office this summer.

Clearly from the literature reviewed (and summarized in the final section of this paper) most 3D content is destined for television.
