2D (not 3D) Glasses
We’ve all heard about 3D glasses. There are so many varieties that Rainbow Symphony offers so-called “Ultimate 3D Glasses” (shown here). They work with many, but by no means all, forms of 3D. Here’s a link to their site: http://www.rainbowsymphony.com/ultimate-3d-glasses.html
But, since January 11, I’ve been writing about 2D glasses, rather than 3D. I’ve decided to consolidate my posts on the subject into one.
It began with a story in the UK Telegraph on January 11. The story was headlined “Do 3D films make you sick?” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/6952352/Do-3D-films-make-you-sick.html
It was by no means a condemnation of 3D, and it clearly noted it was referring to a minority of viewers, but it stated that “a significant minority of the population cannot sit through a 3D film without experiencing discomfort.” Those are viewers in cinemas, where issues of visual accommodation-vergence conflict are minimal (see my post “3DTV: Home and the Range” about the more significant issues in homes: http://schubincafe.com/blog/2009/11/3dtv-home-and-the-range/).
