looks like the next spiderman will be in 3d and glasses won't be needed. That's it, that tv is dead.

there are games that integrate both playstation move and 3D. that's gotta be interesting
- Miguex0
Even Sony knows is dead

I have a 3D tv. I hardly use the 3D feature. Watched few tv shows using 3D engine but it felt like watching South Park. But South Park on 3D was great.

The only 3D movie that really impressed me was Coraline. A lot of time it just becomes a gimmick and can give you a headache.

people are used to not having to "prepare" to wear a movie.
it's harder to even get crowds to the theaters anymore because home viewing is more comfortable, it doesn't make sense to have to change how people behave and prepare to watch a movie at home by adding 3d glasses, unless the quality is REALLY incredible, like holograms or something like that. It's hard to see it catch on at the level 3D is today. (for home/ daily use at least)then again, what do I know? maybe other people can't wait to put on glasses to watch the news or re runs parker lewis

the glasses don't bother me. i wear shades all the time with no issues and with the TV glasses they're not even dark or anything

- more content please k thnxDodecahedron
- they appear to be the biggest markets alreadyscarabin

from what i understand 3d tvs don't use the polarized glasses we use at the cinema.
instead the home glasses have an electronic shutter in them that closes one eye, then the other at rates so fast it's not noticeable. the movie itself interlaces "right image" and "left image" at the same rate and your brain melds the two into a 3d effect

- huh? I never heard of glasses having shutters. they are polarized as far as I knewDodecahedron
- NO there are shutters.lnu

I got a headache and the sales guy was telling me it can trigger seizures, not cause, trigger them like strobes. I liked how he clarified that for me.
- What TV were you trying if it didn't have the shutter glasses?!lnu
- I was in the sony store . maybe they were shutter glasses i've just never heard itDodecahedron

Almost got my self one but came to the conclusion that there was just not enough content for me to purchase
so I ended up getting the 55" Samsung 120hz LED with network connection. The boys came out Saturday and mounted the shit out of it. I used to have a 57" Sony Back lit Projection TV that stood on the floor for 7 years. This new one is soooo sweet.
- orange walls?dbloc
- haha .. no, just the light and a shitty cameraRamanisky2
- Dear God man... hide the wires!

I'm thinking of buying one. Not for the 3D really, but because it's a good TV and cheaper (and fatter) than the LCD's

yup! that's right
The only thing is that you are speaking in present :)
These glassed WERE battery operated, and not as exhausting as the polarized versions you get on the theater or the original red/blue paper glasses.Sony is switching to 3D tv glasses starting next month
Toshiba launched one in the beginning of this month.3d glasses is now a dead technology
- Dodecahedron0
so why do the home versions have shutters? does the polarized version not work? I think they just want to make more money and sell batteries
- i think at the cinema they use two projectors. different technique entirely?scarabin
- hmmm...Dodecahedron
- i see now, the glasses does what the projectors do sort of. i think they are polarized as wellDodecahedron
- i don't think shutter glasses are polarizedscarabin

Virtually all systems involve using a pair of camera to film the original movie. The two cameras are placed beside each other at the same distance as the separation of human eyes.
This gives you two films; one for the left eye, one for the right. The next stage is in projection - there are two mechanisms widely used so the the left eye receives the information from the left film and the right eye from the right.
The two most common techniques is to use colour filters; the left film is passed through a red filter (say) and the right film passed through a green filter. Viewers have to wear special glasses with corrosponding coloured filters so the the left and right images arrive at the correct eyes.
The problem with this system is that, understandably, the colours of the film is distorted by the filters.
A more modern technique uses polarised glasses; polarised light will pass through polarised glass only if they are both polarised in the same direction, by using horizontal polarised glass in one lens of the glasses and vertical in the other, and projecting the left and right films with corrosponding polarisation the left and right information is correctly received.
The advantage of this system is that the colour information in the film isn't distorted by the 3d system, the disadvantages is that a special screen is required to maintain the polarisation and the glasses are relatively expensive.
A third system is to use shuttered glasses; these are special glasses that alternately blank out the left and right eye in synchronism with the projector which alternately projects left and right frames.
This system is rarely used for public projection, it does get used for home computer games occasionally.
