This looks cooler than any 3D stuff with the glasses I've seen in the cinema. I still don't understand the point of them, or 3D TVs for that matter.

[idontreallygiveashit]

the point is 3d, images have an illusion of depth...

understand now?

I once heard a 13/14 year old girl coming out of the cinema say "I wish we could see things in 3d"

Mong. Read it again.

that's the point though, people think it looks cool

Well I'm not sitting here with stupid 3D glasses on and that image looks fairly 3D to me. Hence the question. Maybe there's some crazy trickery going on that can't just be replicated in normal TV/film?

probably the random white bars m8. still not the same effect though.

also, sort of related







if you wanted a whole movie of that, would need two cameras and constant shaking

some work better than others

[magma]

It's just the trick of putting some white bars behind and some in front of the moving character... gives a simple illusion of perspective. There's no other trickery going on...

Well it seems like perspective/focus are the things that actually look cool, and 3D seems to be used just for the single moment in a movie when something flies towards the screen. Other than that I've never felt any benefit to wearing those glasses.

That crocodile one is cool.

Ass-hat.

[therapist]

Oh right, yeah, GIFs.

[idontreallygiveashit]

but isn't that how real life vision works though? X Y Z?

Yep... and that's why the illusions work. The brain sees some objects "in front" of a white line and some objects "behind" and by the time you've interpreted it, it "looks" 3D. The "real world" isn't exactly as you percieve it most of the time either... most of what you "see" is your brain filling in blanks with what it expects to see - depth perception is actually notoriously easy to fool (for instance with the Ames Room - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ames_room )

"3D" the way it's done on tellies isn't really much different, tbh. It's just a matter of fooling your brain into seeing two slightly skewed images and merging them so that the brain interpolates depth. If you've got fucked eyes like mine, you can't be fooled by it*...


*but I can be fooled by the white line GIFs and the shakey shakey GIFs.

i was being rhetorical, big ups though, that Ames room thing is madness in videos. Need to scope one out.

Yeah, I figured you were... I was just adding on to reply to:

It was a very long winded post to say "It's all '3D', there are just lots of ways to simulate the effect".
