3V Entertainment is the single most popular form of media in the Distant Fringe.

Description / Specifications

3V (Holography) is a telecommunication medium used for transmitting moving images in three dimensions and sound. The term can refer to a 3V viewer, a 3V program ("3V show"), or the medium of 3V transmission. 3V is a mass medium for entertainment, education, news, politics, gossip and advertising.

3V Viewers

Most commonly these take the form of a control unit and a number of projectors, usually controlled by a small handset or by the voice. Projected images are usually displayed at a reduced size. For most viewers, the projected holography is of a set size, with a relatively limited ability to zoom or shrink. More expensive viewers have many more features and functions.

Media Production

A number of large companies produce 3V content. Chief among these are:

Channel 27
Data Services LLC
Medios Martin Inc
FarStel Group
Fringe News Network ("FNN")
ICS Direct LLC

These companies form part of the Media, Leisure, and Tourism business sector.

Popular Programmes

A number of programmes are popular:

Live newsfeeds, including
- FNN Direct
Soap Operas, including
- Good Androids
- As the Stars Turn
Blockbuster movies
Social shows
Documentaries
Space Operas
- Plague Sector, a series set in far-off Pestilent Sector, concerning the struggles of a human Lost Settlement against "the plague".
- Infinitys Shore. A 3V space opera drawing heavily on the Mythology of Lon Beon. The early episodes were broadly criticised for their "Deus ex machina" plotlines, hammy acting and low production values. Later episodes were markedly improved. Infinitys Shore has proven immensely popular: many believe it to be based on fact.
