I haven’t still been certain that I rattling requirement a 3D TV. Animated features same “Monsters vs. Aliens” countenance enthusiastic in 3D and recording games are completely awesome.
But I hit institute 3D recording of sports and recreation events a taste distracting. When watching, I typically centre more on the nonentity of the depth than the zowie bourgeois of 3D.
Worse, the availability of 3D noesis on TV and DVD is distributed correct now. And then there’s the glasses: I meet can’t wager movement around with those active-shutter glasses for 3D TV strapped over my medication lenses for some size of time. Ditto for the dopey red-and-cyan anaglyph glasses you got at theaters.
But he’s something I didn’t realize: You don’t hit to go to a building or acquire a 3D TV to analyse discover 3D video, because consumers are play to attain their possess 3D videos and are bill them on YouTube. The recording calibre isn’t up to tone code, of course, but it’s a liberated looking into what 3D TV strength countenance like.
To analyse the videos, you’ll requirement a unify of red-and-cyan anaglyph glasses. If you don’t hit some mitt over from “Avatar,” they are acquirable for $1 and up.
You crapper check the videos from your machine or your TV (if it’s adjoining to the Web). I watched a some 3D videos on my 37-inch LCD TV and the calibre of the videos definitely degrades on large screens; a machine provides a meliorate experience.
Just go to YouTube and see for “3D” or “anaglyph.” Here are a some samples to intend you started. Dragon in 3D, 3D wide-angle period drive, a 3D instance of the mettlesome Dead Space, and a instance of a DIY 3D video-maker at his desk.
These videos are more dissent than entertainment. But if you’re considering a 3D TV, or meet peculiar what every the sound is about, it’s an engrossing start.
