grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Apparently this year is going to be the one of the 3D Movie, the biggest one being James Cameron's "Avatar". Booo! I say. I remember going to see Jaws 3D and coming out not only with a headache but also.... well, with a headache. Do we still need to wear silly glasses? I don't get it. Help me get it, if there is something to get. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Surely the technology or whatever will have improved dramatically since those 80s ones? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Makes me want to puke. I get really bad motion sickness anyway - and something about the 3D/3D glasses makes me feel like I am on a boat. Have not sat through one yet. Link to post Share on other sites

joshnii 2 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 No kidding?! The same crappy ones that give you a headache? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 are there any good ones? The latest Pixar one at Cannes shown as a feature. Could it be a conscious push for studios to produce more 3D. Few year back, Joypolis in Takashimya Times Square had a 4D screen. The 3D glassses and a moving vehicle in which you sit. Pretty good turtle undersea cartoon too. Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I am reading often now that 3D is going to be in. They seem to be really pushing it. If you need them spakky glasses on, they can forget that! Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Well if you have to put on those blue and red glasses, I won't be going. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Same here. Can't believe the technology or whatever hasn't changed to allow for a better user-end solution. Jaws was so bad, I remember that one. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I studied that 3D technology a bit on my masters degree, though it was for still images not video. They called it stereoscopic imaging at that time. To take the photos (no doubt identical process for video) you use two cameras and shoot two images at once. The cameras are only about 5cm apart (same as the gap between your eyes), so the images are pretty similar and the effect is very subtle. To view the 3D ('stereo') images, you need a special PC monitor and you have to sit at a precise distance from it. No glasses needed. Not sure how that would work in a movie theatre though, maybe they use a slightly different projection technique. They are already broadcasting 3D TV on NHK if you have BS and tune in late at night. You need a special TV to watch it properly of course. Link to post Share on other sites
