Not expensive way to 3D ?

Post by Marcer »

Hi , im new to the 3D , I just comed to see Harry potter and the deathly hallows in RealD 3D and I loved that , then is it possible to have 3D for Home in color (not with red cyan glasses ) with mirror or others for home use(like blu-ray 3D) and that is not expensive like the 3D TV or the 3D screen

The cheapest thing is of course the paper red/cyan glasses (which I send out for free). This will work with games, and even movies and video (blu-ray 3D). The quality is not the best, but its cheap and will work with your existing monitor/tv. There is also my DIY parallax barrier project, but its really only useful for smaller monitors and does not work for Blu-Ray 3D unless you rip then into a side-by-side file. I mean, the 3D on the parallax barrier does look decent considering the price, but it only works for one viewer and can be difficult to setup. You could try some prism glasses, which will give you full color 3D, but they will waste a lot of space of the screen ( http://www.berezin.com/3d/3dprism.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ). This is similar to just free-viewing (ie cross-eye, parallel) but made easier on the eyes. This would probably be the best quality since its full color and not interleaved, but the image might be smaller and it could be uncomfortable to wear for long periods.

Once you want to get into real 3D equipment it starts to get more expensive. There is a Vizio 32" 3D HDTV that sells for around $500 ( http://www.amazon.com/VIZIO-Class-Theat ... B004T1YAEI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ). Thats probably the cheapest thing out there in terms of HDTVs that will support Blu-Ray 3D and the modern HDMI 1.4a standard. If you just want something for your computer room, you can get the LG D2342P-PN for under $300 ( http://www.amazon.com/LG-D2342P-PN-23-I ... 004WK3R4U/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ). If you have an Nvidia card and a little more money then getting a 120Hz 3D Vision monitor will yield better quality, but that starts to get closer to $500 ( http://www.amazon.com/VG236H-23-Inch-Mo ... 003V4AK2K/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ).

Hope that helps.

Well the parallax barrier is not an easy project. I am looking into finding an easier method but I just haven't had much time. Basically you have to customize it specifically for each display, which can be time consuming. I must have made something like 50 to 100 attempts before I could the perfect pattern. So while each sheet is relatively cheap (a few dollars) all the experimentation can get expensive. Hopefully sometime soon I will find a better method.

Not directly, but if you rip the movies into side-by-side then they can be used with the Stereoscopic Player.

Make it side-by-side right eye image first.
Of curiosity: Is the default stereoformat for 3d-blurays framesequential?

Edit: Mismatch. :P

Blu-Ray 3D uses the MVC codec, which stores both left and right video streams compressed together.
