I have a very dominant right eye to the extent that I hardly ever use my left eye.
I went to see Coraline in 3D in the cinema (top film, BTW!). The film looked alright for me but I couldn’t really get any 3D effect.

J, I thought I was the only one who remembered the Tomorrow’s World 3D special with special Eastenders. It was great to watch and all done by fooling the brain. Incredible to think people are designing special 3D TVs when there is no need.

I know from the Internet that if you can’t get to Sainsbury’s but live near a Theatre (or know someone who works in a theatre), get them to give you offcuts of gel used to colour lights. Lee71 over your right eye and both Lee179 and Lee211 over your left eye will allow you to watch the broadcasts in ColourCode 3D perfectly!

Can anyone tell me if it comes with egg?

I can’t believe they’re ONLY available at Sainsburys – not much help if you don’t have a Sainsburys nearby. My nearest is out of town, 3 miles away and isn’t on a bus route – I’m not walking 6 miles for some poxy glasses!

Those were based on using the pulfrich effect – that works okay as long as the camera is moving in a horizontal motion to fool the brain but they would actually work with any footage, it doesn’t need to be shot especially.

YouTube is also embarking on the 3D route with their new 3d player that is embeded into the site. This will allow users with any, or no, types of 3D glasses to view videos in the correct format.

Does no one remember the 3D TV that Tomorrow’s World did many years ago with a full episode of Eastenders in 3D? It was filmed using motion, and used one darkened lens to fool the brain into viewing a 3D image. Without a tinted lens the programme was completely normal to watch.

3D or £D?

Since the “new” technology comes with a massive price hike in cinema (the £2 surcharge is a 26% increase!). The price increase in cinema tickets has risen at twice the rate of inflation in the last decade and now they are adding another surcharge for 3D.
I don’t recall asking for 3D and having watched Ice Age 3 and G-Force, I have to say that it adds nothing to the experience except eye strain and an empty wallet.
Having the those few remaining TV programmes worth watching get “specially ruined for 3D” would be about the last straw.

No thanks.
