3d glasses

karlog

I got a pair of 3d glasses from the cinema.

Is there any site where i can watch things in 3d with them? Or will they even work on a computer screen?

requires a special screen me thinks. There is a superbowl ad on youtube that is in 3D you can try it but I dotn think it works.

Actually, Youtube has recently started to offer 3D videos. See here:

Am I the only one who thinks that 3D doesn't work and makes no difference to videos whatsoever?

Having seen it in the cinema I think you would have to be blind to see no difference.

Well actually I never saw a 3D film in the cinema. I was going by those 3D Youtube videos and that Shrek 3D DVD that was out so they are probably nothing to go by.

So 3D actually works? It will be interesting to see those future 3D TVs.

it may work, but its a meh from me, nothing I have seen yet has convinced me that 3d actually adds anything to the films it had been applied to.

Coraline was the closest to convincing me and even then it was a *its nice* element.

As I've said before the deciding factor will be james camerons avatar. He usually gets the best out of any technology.

In the cinema they use 2 projectors.

At home you'd need a monitor that layers two screens over each other.. they do exist, but are a tad pricey.

You won't see any effect watching those videos on a standard monitor.

coming to screen near you crosseyed 3d lol

Some of the newer TVs support 3D but you have to connect to your pc and have the right video card. Having seen some of the 3D games demod on the set up I have to say that it's very impressive looking.

Maybe i was just seeing things on Sunday when i went to watch Ice Age, but i think they had a filter glass infront of the projector? Are the 2 projectors combined in one unit with a glass infront of them?

For what its worth, Ice Age 3D there was flip all that "jumped out" of the screen 3D, a little bit here and there, that was nice, but I thought that the movie had great depth, as the characters were more shaped and shadowed which gave the movie great depth, and the fur and skin of the creatures had a visible textures.

Its not 2 projectors in the cinemas, not for the current films that are being release anyway. When they used the old red and green cardboard glasses in the 80's for Jaws 3D etc they had to project 2 images, from 2 projectors, simultaneously.

Now it's only one digital projector, with a 3D equipment add on; there is a thing called the z-screen which flips down in front of the projectors lens and when the picture projects through it the picture is split/layered; then the filter in the lenses of the glasses you wear tricks the brain into combining the 2 images together creating the 3d effect.
