The evolution of stereoscopic 3D continued in 2009 from its niche market of feature animation and special venues toward a more generalist media form, including live action productions and more diversified distribution channels. It now seems safe to state publicly that 3D is here to stay, and it is the next big step in motion picture technology. Technological progress was demonstrated at every level, from high-end camera rigs to consumer displays, and the audience has continued to show a strong interest in 3D content. The debate has shifted from 3D cinema toward 3D alternative content in theaters and 3DTV at home.
This article will first comment on the events in 2009 that paved the way for that journey, and then forecast the engineering tasks that lie ahead.

Sir Isaac Netwotn’s three laws of motion. Three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). We live on the third rock from the sun. Our metric system of measurement uses metre, litre, and gram. Morse code is a reliable system as the signal is made up of only three parts – a long ‘on’, the dash; a short ‘on’, the dot; and an ‘off’ signal. Do you know what SOS means in Morse code?
Three-Pendulum Rotary Harmonograph
A harmonograph is a mechanical device that uses swinging pendulums to draw pictures, believed to be originally invented in 1844 by Scottish mathematician Hugh Blackburn. There are other types of harmonographs, but this 3-pendulum rotary type gives a wide variety of pleasant results, and is fairly easy to build once you’ve settled on a design and have acquired the appropriate materials and tools. This is a great project to do with kids and can result in endless experiments creating new types of geometric designs.

CCC – Continuous Chest Compression CPR – Mayo Clinic Presentation
In witnessed unexpected collapse in an adult (usually the result of cardiac arrest) studies have shown chest compression only without mouth-to-mouth breathing by bystanders is the preferred approach.* Follow these instructions to perform Continuous Chest Compression (CCC) resuscitation:
