3D glasses?

Just posted this query in uk.media.tv.misc but maybe it would be more
appropriate here?

--------------------

The recent series of 3D broadcasts took me by surprise. In case they are
repeated I'd like to get some glasses.

None of the listings I saw ever mentioned these - no specification or
possible sources of supply. A quick google just now has also left me unclear,
as there appear to be several types and colour combinations.

Can anyone educate me briefly please and point me to a UK supplier of a pair
that will go over the top of my existing regular glasses?

The broadcasts were ColorCode 3D - blue and amber glasses.

Try your local Sainsbury's first. That's where I got mine for free and
they may still have some left.

So, what happens if you swap the colours around to the opposite eyes then?

I wonder if the characters look hollowed out as things do in the full
colour side-by-side setups when the pictures are the wrong way around?

Perhaps you just see the back of the characters heads like when Olive Oyl turns Popeye's
portrait round before retiring to bed.

You must be kidding - they ran out before the first broadcast, and
spent the entire Channel 4 3D week denying they massively
underestimated the demand, and failed to put any back-up plans into
place to get more in. There were several posts about it at the time.

Besides which the whole exercise was a massive disappointment. 3D with
coloured filters just isn't nice to watch.

Last week, I acquired a cast-off pair of slightly battered Sainsbury's
glasses. When I watched my recordings of the Channel 4 programmes, the
results were extremely disappointing. The lenses (especially the blue)
cut down the brightness considerably, making the picture as dim as two
TOC H lamps in series. Only occasionally was there anything in the way
of any 3-D effect - and that was probably due the effects of eye-strain.

I just tried it and the images don't integrate at all - I just see a blue or
amber image depending on which eye I am concentrating on, or blue/amber
fringes, but no depth and no natural colour.

Thanks for the feedback. Reckon I won't bother now!
