Helmet Camera Wearers...I bring you the THIRD DIMENSION :)

Who knew, that if you put yt3d:enable=true as a video tag, it would come up with a 3D box and people can then watch your videos in 3d, with a number of formats.

Unfortunately, I only have those ones they use in the cinema, which aren't compatible with any of the formats...and I can't find the pair of red/blue ones I have.

It's just a shame that there isn't currently an option to turn the 3D effect off...will have to find the pair of glasses that should work and let you know what it's like

If you put it in parallel, and sit at the correct distance (might need to be reversed though) you should just able be able to see the effect without glasses - although might make you sick

Too true. I wish people would stop referring to these effects as "3D" when all they are is stereoscopic: feeding the two eyes slightly different fixed images to create an ersatz 3D effect. Holograms are 3D...

I have yet to go and watch my first 3D stereoscopic movie - are they any good?

Years and years ago the BBC experimented with this on TV - children's TV - I think it was on very early editions of Blue Peter. They simply broadcast the two images side-by-side on screen, and the kids were expected to make their own viewer in true Blue-Peter fashion. Anyone else remember that? I never got around to making the viewer myself...

Sorry about that off-topic. I can't watch the Youtube at work...

Well since they display 2 images separately (hence they need for TVs that can display the higher frame rate) and the use of shutter glasses which closes off each eye when the image for the other is displayed, it should be better than the regular "red/green" 3D. That's a crappy explanation of it.

At least if a movie is filmed on 2 cameras/lenses/sensors or modelled in 3D they can produce a "real" stereoscopic image, other than that everything else is just a layer to make it look like such. Fake fake 3D if you will...

Very much like the old "stereo" records you used to get from Pickwick and the likes* which were actually a monaural recording just the left and right tracks fractionally out of sync

*showing my age now

Hahaha:

1. That is so lame, I can't believe people did that.
2. I did exactly that last night at work after being asked to make a sound effect 'more stereoey'.

What ... wait ... what?!?

Seriously - YES! Have you seen the first two Toy Story movies? If so, I DEMAND you go over to the cinema and see Toy Story 3 IMMEDIATELY.

I went to see Inception recently - very good film indeed. Kept thinking all the way through how amazing it would have been in 3D.

ohh, quit your fussing you lot! I've not found my glasses yet so not sure what these 3D effects look like...could be pretty neat still
