3D Video coming your way

by InternetSuccess001

I'm sure you guys have heard about the "3D" t.v.

So... what do you think about 3D monitors, & then 3D digital cameras that record everything in stereoscopic view, so now when you upload videos to youtube, it will be in 3D? How would you use that for your marketing?

    I can't imagine a lot of people are going to want to sit in front of the computer wearing silly glasses so they can watch a marketing video in 3D.

    How about 3D ebooks?

    Here is all the info you need below to do it. Of course your audience will need to be willing to dawn the groovy glasses or cross their eyes etc.


    If you watch that on Youtube you will see the menu of various 3D viewing options that you can select from depending on the type of 3d viewing you are trying to do ie... blue-red glasses, crossing eyes etc.

      Those are the silly glasses, i don't even consider them 3D. A new, recent 3D system requires polarized glasses which look very much like normal glasses.

      Furthermore, another upcoming tech is 120 Hertz Monitors and TVs/DLP projectors which require so called "shutter glasses" - they also look like your normal sun glasses and not the silly red/blue glasses.

        Yep, you're right... they are not real 3d.

        However, most people cannot afford to produce real 3D at this time so they have to settle for the blue-red approach which requires the silly glasses...

        But Youtube also lists a few other techniques within reach in their 3d menu.

          Wearing non-corrective vision glasses to watch a movie is silly regardless of what they actually look like.

          None of them are real 3D. Not even James Cameron has done real 3D.

          Real 3D would be a hologram.

            I actually did see a holographic movie I think in the 80's in a science type fair?

            Real hologram, the image was projected the image into a convex/circular shape that bounced the image out in 3D.

              This ticks me off when you go and buy a new HDTV and find out it doesn't have a refresh rate high enough for 3D!

              I think this is an Obama plot to get everyone to have to buy new tv's to help the economy

            James Cameron ruined 3D for me...

            After watching Avatar in iMax 3D (twice) seeing anything else in 3d is anticlimactic.

            Unless you are marketing to people who are surfing the web wearing the blue and red glasses its not likely going to do anything for your marketing...

            Unless you can make something truly entertaining that creates an "experience" for the viewer.

            "Experience my unshaven face in 3D" just won't cut it

              And he filmed Avatar in 2D. The folks at Imax Labs did the conversion after the fact by combining the image twice and having what amounts to Photoshop artists (it was a different software) painting the spaces in between as needed... one frame at a time!

              Sony and someone else (I forget who) - maybe Imax - have been talking about a 3D cable channel. It's coming.

                ahh....100% not. Avatar was shot in 3d. 95% of other so called 3d movies are conversions tho, eg. "alice in wonderland".

                Here is an interesting bit about the "Sony Fusion 3D Camera System" also known as the "Pace-Cameron" system which are stereoscopic cameras he used to film Avatar:


                Here is someone doing their own hack for stereoscopic video filming for youtube:


                Here is some history on stereoscopic viewing technologies and techniques:

                http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy

                On that page there is even an exciting stereoscopic version of the flashing gif. Maybe we should bring those back into our direct response websites.

                Man I really miss the days when web video was rare and the flashing gif ruled the world :-)

    I think the novelty of it will give a slight edge to anybody who uses it, much like Flash did early on.

    However, the instant that novelty wears off, then you better have a very good reason for using 3D. It needs to be relevant and not overdone.

    All the best,
    Michael

    p.s. Why isn't Virtual video known as VD?

    I own a 52" 3D Plasma.

    The times of "silly glasses" are actually over. If you look at the newest products from Samsung, Nvidia etc... 3D has come a LONG way. Also thanks to James Cameron being one of the first bringing 3D to the mainstream

    This is a HUGE market by the way. 80% of people are still rather un-informed, but it WILL become main stream, i am 100% certain.

    Besides, 3d TVs that do not require the use of glasses already exist.
