LIGHT CYCL IN 3D POSTED IN RED/BLUE FORMAT ONLINE AND IT LOOKS AMAZING!

on Thursday, February, 23, 2012 6:01 PM
I found this gem on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5i5Mj2ckD0&feature=plcp&context=C3265d4dUDOEgsToPDskLEtSXd4j5-R69yV9Di_Vi5

It's the light cycle battle converted into red/blue 3D format!!! Translation: if you have-or can get-a pair of-red/blue 3D glasses, you can watch this clip in genuine 3D!! I have to say it's pretty impressive, though crude, of course, compared to what you get in terms of 3D in the theater these days. But if you are one of those fans who feel this is only half the movie when watched in 2D, then this is enough for you to get a decent fix of how it looked in 3D once again. It reminded me of just how incredible this movie is in 3D, especially since i hadn't seen any of it as such since it left the theaters. The red/blue glasses don't even throw the screen colors off that much since there aren't that many colors on screen in this movie to begin with. The clip can be downloaded using a free program called youtube downloader.

How was his converted, anyhow? How was it done? Do modern 3D TVs have an option to let you watch 3D material in the red/blue format? And did someone maybe aim their camera at it when in that mode as the battle played? And could the entire movie be converted and watched as such? I would surmise so. You can see where I'm going with this, right? This is an exciting prospect for those of us who are a few thousand dollars away from being able to watch this movie in 3D again.!!


The Sam vs. Rinzler disc battle as well as a couple of TL previews are also posted in the same manner (R/B 3D) on youtube and are easy to find, though the light cycle battle seems to offer the best 3D of them all. Do a search for "Tron Legacy anaglyph". Cheap paper 3D glasses as well as slightly more pricey-yet still affordable-hard plastic ones are a cinch to find online. abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

3D TV's are coming down in price. BB has a 51" plasma 3D on sale for $899!

Which is why I bought the 3D Blu-ray of Legacy, even though my current TV doesn't support it. I knew the day would come when a 3D TV would be semi-affordable. I'm hoping in two or three years, the technology will be even better and cheaper. I'm dying to see all the 3D-specific scenes again in Legacy!

yeah, but back to my question, since there's the matter of there being about $899 between me and that TV, not to mention the blu-ray player.

Modern 3DTVs do not use red/blue 3D. Instead, they use a shutter-like system where the image on the screen is actually the left and right eye images alternating between each other so fast that it looks like a combination of the two images combined. The 3D glasses' lens are actually 1 pixel LCD transparent screens that are on or off depending on which image is on the screen, which they know from communicating with the TV through a wireless connection. So whenever the left-eye image is on the screen, the right eye lens screen pixel on your 3D glasses turns on, effectively putting a shutter over your right eye, so only your left eye can see the left eye image. Likewise, when the right-eye image is shown on the screen, a shutter is effectively placed over your left eye, so that only your right eye sees the right eye image. This effect works because the rate of the images switching between each other is so fast that your eyes can't notice the change.

In theaters, two separate projectors project the left and right eye images onto the screen, each one with a unique pattern. The lens on the special 3D glasses you get at the theater are designed so that the right eye image is blocked out to the left eye, and vice-versa, due to the patterns on the image.

As for how the person made this video, I'm not 100% sure, but my guess is that they ripped the video from the 3D Blu-Ray disc for the left and right eye images (I'm assuming here that the 3D effect for 3D Blu-Rays is produced in real time, meaning that the entire movie is on the disc twice, one for the left eye, another for the right eye, and that the frames are alternated between in real time by the player). They then overlapped the left and right eye images for this particular scene after applying a red and blue overlay to the images. Render it out, save as an avi, upload to Youtube. All done.

Just remember, the entire trick to 3D is having two images, one for the left eye, and one for the right eye, and ensuring that the right eye only ever sees the right eye image, and that the left eye only ever sees the left eye image.

Nice explanation on how 3D HDTV's work, Tron.dll.

To expand a little on the theater portion, I know the theaters around here where I live utilize the RealD 3D projection system. It's usually a single projector with something called a Zscreen directly in front of it. The system uses circular polarization to achieve the 3D effect.

The projector alternately projects left and right eye frames, and the Zscreen alternately polarizes each frame, clockwise for the right eye, and counterclockwise polarization for the left eye. The glasses you wear have the opposite polarization so that each eye sees only the correct frame.

And as you pointed out, it alternates so quickly (about 144 times per second), your eyes see what your brain interprets as a single fused stereo image with depth.

For more details, see this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealD_Cinema

By the way, the prices of 3D HDTV's are steadily coming down. I lucked out and got my 60 inch DLP Mitsubishi 3D HDTV in June 2011 for $599 as an open box special. Yes, I know, that's still a lot of money. When you include the Blu-ray 5.1 Home Theater system, the 2 pairs of 3D glasses, and the speaker stands so that I could put the speakers at ear level, it came to about $1200 or $1300 total. But it was totally worth it, as I now have a pretty cool home theater in my living room. I hardly go to movies anymore. Me and the $1.50 Redbox Blu-rays are great friends now! LOL!

I would highly recommend saving up for a 3D HDTV. And check places like TigerDirect and Amazon for the 3D DLP televisions, and look for open box specials. The DLP TV's are not flat, so you can't hang them on a wall, but if that's not an issue for you, they're great TV's! Especially, if you're going to watch TRON: Legacy! abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion
