Anyone for 2D Glasses?
January 11th, 2010 Posted in 3D Courses, Schubin Snacks by Mark Schubin | Print This Post

Today’s UK Telegraph has a story headlined: “Do 3D films make you sick? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/6952352/Do-3D-films-make-you-sick.html

It’s not a piece suggesting that 3D makes everyone sick, but it points out that some individuals, perhaps with visual problems, can’t stand 3D even in movie theaters. That’s a problem worth noting.  Shutting one eye won’t help; the other will still see a double image.  And the same individuals could have a problem when put in front of someone else’s 3D TV.

There is an obvious solution: glasses that send the same single view to both eyes.

    BBC Radio’s film critic Mark Kermode is somewhat famously 3D skeptic, so he was gifted special eye-wear with two left-eye pieces to wear to his next stereoscopic cinema trip. Something tells me that these will be of little use in cinemas with Dolby or XpanD systems, so he’d better be sure to only go to cinemas with RealD installs.
