3D TV's ? I Dont Get it .. Am I Missing Something?

What you are seeing is just some nice sharp graphics on a flat screen. Both your eyes are seeing the exact same image, so there is no real 3D effect. In real life, your two eyes are seeing everything around you from slightly different angles and that lets you see "depth", as you call it. With 3D movies, the scenes are filmed with cameras that have two lenses seperated by the same distance as your eyes. When played back on a 3D TV, images from these two lenses are shown, one from right lens, then one from left, then one from right, etc, ie. flickering, but it happens so fast that you don't really see them flickering. Watching this without the glasses will result in the image looking very blurry, because both your eyes will see both imgages. When you put on the glasses however, they block the imges for each eye that is not intended for it and only show you the ones that are, ie. the lenses in the glasses flicker at the same rate and you see an image with the same "depth" that you would have seen if you stood where the camera was.

So, yes, 3D is all about depth perception ... you will not see anything moving outside the sides of the frame of the TV, obviously, but yes, the ability is there to make things look like tey are closer too you than the screen actually is. Yes, that effect lets stuff almost get as close to you as the tip of your nose.

Great stuff sounds cool so when is Tron 3D Playing?
 
... is there room for improvement? Hell, yes, in the next few years 3D will get better and better at a massive rate.

Did they bring this to market too soon, is it not really production ready? Hell, no, the good 3D TV's today are doing an amazing job ... it really looks good and is quite enjoyable to watch. As far as games go, on GT5 it really helps you judging how fast you are approaching the next turn ... I like it a lot.

By then, hopefully something that will plug straight into your brain and really give the feeling of "being there" :twisted:

not in our lifetime ... but till then we have LSD and Magic Mushrooms mix that with a 3D movie or game and your in for a trip :D
 
Yup. Quickest and cheapest way to make you TV 3D. Smoke some weed... Anyway, the way I see it is that the 5mm of depth perception you get from the fancy glasses and display is not really 3D. If you can move your point of view so that you can see a part of the displayed object that was obscured when looking at it from dead ahead, then that is 3D, in my opinion. I saw a game once, in 1992 that used holographic projection to create walk around 3D. Amazing effects, rubbish game. We have actually gone backwards since then. Reminds me of LaserDisc's...
 
I saw a Samsung display once in Hyde Park with 3D tv. It was really not that great to watch and the glasses was like R700 each so if you have a couple of friends over then everyone is going to need their own pair of glasses.
 
I think a Persian proverb is most appropriate here: "This too shall pass".

Question is, how many will get conned by this Tamagotchi/MegaWAN/BetaMAX

Don't forget 8Track and the Gautrain. Sorry. I forget that the Gautrain is still around...
 
Quick Question... Can 3d converted content be view on a 600hz Tv? I saw a Samsung 600hz tv being advertised over the weekend cant remember where .. was a 42inch for R5999
 
I think a 3D tv is completely worth it, I really enjoy the 3D experience especially those 2 seconds scenes where something pops out of the screen
 
Yesterday I watched underworld four in 3D on my LG 3D TV, all I can say was that movie made me appreciate having a 3D TV, there was no extreme pop out seens, but it just $ade the whole movie much better, I completely believe that anybody buying a new TV should consider a 3D TV
