they broadcasted a MNF game about two weeks ago and wished i could have been there..
i hear the superbowl is supposed to get some 3D time too...
anyone?
do you still have to wear the corny blue and red glasses?
The downside:
You will need a new television (not yet available) cost approx £7,000 and you'll still need to wear the glasses.
The upside:
Apparently the HD 3d picture is excellent.
Phillips are working on a screen with which you won't need the geeky specs.
Windoze has standard drivers for displaying 3d pix, free with electronic stereo glasses which are sold at electronix stores and places like vrex for $30 to $50.
Not as wide as your IMAX 3d glasses but the technology for 3d film pix has been around for so long that every president since Lincoln has 3d stereogram pix. I actually bought a 1950's kodak 35mm 3d camera. Can't do 3d macros like you can with a single camera and a macro slider turned sideways but still pretty neat.
The .jps are simply 2 jpegs stored together, and windoze driver decodes whatever option you decide on how to display the picture without changing the stored format: you can switch from electronic glasses to side by side, or red x blue, red x green....
I had to call my ISP to tell them to activate .jps mime type so my 3d site would display but this kind of thing is minor.
Our local garden club had a person give a still show on macro-3d orchid pix. was incredible, and not even digital, he had used film cameras, 2 projectors and gave everyone plastic glasses.
If you choose you can take the 3d pix so that it looks to the viewer like you are viewing from the perspective of an elf in front of a 20' flower, mind blowing! or take just the opposite, forget what they are called, but saw this for Machu Pichu, 2 cameras 60 foot apart, triggered same time, made the mountain top stone city look like a model on a table (wait, what are those realistic like people doing in the picture?)
Seems like they could just broadcast over the internet and have you wear e-glasses instead of expensive sets to get it going.
