<P> Stereoscopic 3D television was demonstrated for the first time on 10 August 1928 , by John Logie Baird in his company 's premises at 133 Long Acre , London . Baird pioneered a variety of 3D television systems using electro - mechanical and cathode - ray tube techniques . The first 3D TV was produced in 1935 , and stereoscopic 3D still cameras for personal use had already become fairly common by the Second World War . Many 3D movies were produced for theatrical release in the US during the 1950s just when television started to become popular . The first such movie was Bwana Devil from United Artists that could be seen all across the US in 1952 . One year later , in 1953 , came the 3D movie House of Wax which also featured stereophonic sound . Alfred Hitchcock produced his film Dial M for Murder in 3D , but for the purpose of maximizing profits the movie was released in 2D because not all cinemas were able to display 3D films . In 1946 the Soviet Union also developed 3D films , with Robinzon Kruzo being its first full - length 3D movie . People were excited to view the 3D movies , but were put off by their poor quality . Because of this , their popularity declined quickly . There was another attempt in the 1970s and 80s to make 3D movies more mainstream with the releases of Friday the 13th Part III ( 1982 ) and Jaws 3 - D ( 1983 ) . 3D showings became more popular throughout the 2000s , culminating in the success of 3D presentations of Avatar in December 2009 and January 2010 . </P>
