The good old days of Charlie Band. Haven’t got the 3-D capability, but maybe someday. Not sure you can find those sets new now, but think I know of some projectors you can still buy.
It’s unfortunate, because those 3D TV sets were just a niche fad that came and went. So the process they used became orphaned, and I believe it is non-convertible. At least with the older 3D tech, like anaglyph (the Red / Green lenses), or the one used for films like “The Stewardesses” (1969), while most of the viewing glasses may have been clunky and flimsy, they are still readily available; no special TV required. I’m not sure what the process happens to be for latter day 3D films in theaters — the ones with the exorbitant ticket price, and where they make damn sure you return the glasses as you leave.
You can get it to work with Google Glass or any of the cheap VR alternatives. Basically, anything that will let you split the image and only show one half to each eye. Admittedly, a headset is nowhere near as enjoyable as sitting back on the sofa with a 3D TV. But at least there is still some way to experience this early 3D.
Thanks for adding this, Rarelust! I really enjoy this weird old movie, so this will be a cool new way to watch it.
“split the image and only show one half to each eye.”
Just to clarify: And this would preserve the 3D effect ?
the view each eye sees will be slightly different, much like the antique stereograms. it doesnt quite work that way with half side-by-side as presented here, but same basic concept. There are many projectors that support 3d from blu-rays or in alternatives like HSBS or HOU (half over under), so long as you have the right kind of glasses. Anaglyph red/cyan is terrible and very hard on the eyes.
Yes. The most recent 3D technology had two polarized images on the screen at the same time: One for the left eye and one for the right. The glasses that you wore were allowed each eye to only see the image intended for that eye. That created the 3D effect. A VR unit will allow you to do that too.
I have a 3D capable TV, which I love, and I’m dreading the day when it dies. No current TVs have the 3D software. *sigh*
Sorry, I misspoke. I meant the Google Cardboard, not the Google Glass. It was an alternative to VR headsets.
But yes, the Cardboard (and other low-tech 3D/VR solutions like it) slot a phone into a headset, then there’s a divider and a lens on each side, so that each eye can only see one half of the screen. A movie in this format, side-by-side, could be viewed this way and preserve the 3D effect, because each eye would only get the half meant for that eye.
It’s discontinued, but there are $20 knockoffs all over the internet. I have one, and I pretty much only use it for side-by-side 3D videos.
Better watch for that Videodrome effect where you literally immerse into your TV set, if you really want the experience hit the theatre (iMAX 3D). And they are usually located at some nice open space so you safely get back to reality after.
You can convert these 3d to anaglyph using VLC.
I never understood why Sony and the rest could not include Real 3D on HDTVs 65″ or bigger. All it is is a program and a chip – at least give the customer the ability to pay an extra $50 and stick the chip in. I don’t know why companies seem to have an aversion to backwards compatibility to older technology or games.
added 3d
Thanks for the 3D!
