3D glasses?

Sounds like a good effect for a horror movie.

The last time I could see enough to see 3d was in the mid 90s when I saw a
colour double polarised tv projection of a video about growing grapes and
making wine in Surrey. Very impressive until you tilted your head that is.

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?

Actually, in theory it should not really matter which eye sees which surely?

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

Most odd then. One would need to work that out. How can it be different. If
you do a headstand while viewing does it go back right again?

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.

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

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.

It was in the mid 80s when CH4 tried it out. They put some great films on
but the glasses were red and blue. What they did a few weeks ago was a
load of rubbish, it was black and white film run through a computer program.
The results were absolutely terrible and not even worth watching.
If a shop is giving away 3D glasses for FREE, they have no requirement to
make plans to get more in - why should they.

Only washed out colour resulted.

No it wasn't.

Not very good, but at least there was more or less full colour - but you had
to turn all the lights out.

I expect so, but I'm not inclined to attempt such a feat.

I think the right eye needs to see the image from the right hand camera and
likewise for left and left hand for there to be any hope of some kind of 3D
effect.

They did re-stock. I got a couple of pairs at my local a week after the
original publicity. The original poster though wanted some to go over
normal specs. These don't of course.

Actually you only need to bend down to get the effect, or probably more up
his street, lay down with head toward tv with glasses on the wrong way.

There is an interested readership on this group that would really
appreciate it if you would try! :-)

The Channel 4 3D week that this thread is discussing, was just last month.

If a shop is giving away 3D glasses for FREE, they have no requirement to

Simple - it's because getting 3D glasses from that one shop was the one
and only exclusive way of being able to view the broadcasts in question
last month. If I could have bought a pair of Color(sic)Code 3D glasses
elsewhere for a reasonable cost (in person - no time for mail order) I'd
have no problem with Sainsbury's blithely sitting on their hands once they
ran out. But by massively (deliberately?) underestimating demand, they
slashed the audience figures. I would have thought that the advertisers
that had paid for adverts during the 3D programmes would have kicked up a
stink and demanded more stock were supplied urgently - it was clear *very*
early on that the stock was woefully inadequate. As it was, their lack of
backup plans to get more in was typical of a British half-arsed effort at
doing something.

Maybe people grabbed handfuls in the hope of cleaning up on eBay.
