BrianKitts Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I thought this was an april fools joke, but it actually works! Grab your 3D glasses and check out google street view today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camby1298 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 You have a pair of 3D glasses handy at all times Kitts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) actually.....yes I did a full patient room animation in stereoscopic 3D that we've been displaying at healthcare conventions. So the marketing dept bought cases upon cases of the paper 3d red/blue glasses with the company logo and project info on them. So there's now A+A 3d glasses all over our office!

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 ooo maaann I know I should of take 3D glasses from Avatar... I have about 5 pairs that I have hung onto from various movies, but I think they are useless without specialized equipment. The modern day 3d glasses use polarization techniques. The old school 3d glasses, red and blue lens, use a separation of channels. The old school technique can be done on standard equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Avatar is a new movie, I think it might work ... Any way going to see Alice in Wonderland, I'm sure gonna grab those glasses along with me, latter on I'll update this topic and tell you if it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 There's a couple kinds of 3d glasses. The google street view requires the earliest and possibly the simplest of the glasses which is the red/blue glasses (anaglyph 3d) This tones images for one eye in red, images for the second eye in blue and the glasses force your eyes into seeing a the respective images by the color toning. Biggest problem with these is the color shift in the final image, biggest benefit is that it doesn't require any special equipment. All of the movies that are hitting the theaters, such as avatar and alice in wonderland use polarized lenses. To get the separation of your left eye / right eye they use two projectors each with a polarized filter rotated to filter the light transmittance to the screen. Each lens in your glasses is polarized but the polarization is rotated 180 degrees to filter how light enters the lens. This polarization actually blocks half the lights wavelength so it's important to use stronger (brighter) projectors for this. Next time you go to the movies take your glasses and someone else's glasses and spin the second pair of glasses 180 degrees while looking through them. The dual polarization will actually black out all light! So what's the point of all this..... just leave the glasses at the theatre in the recycling bin, unless you have a a dual polarized projector setup at home they won't do you any good. and no they won't work for google street view! BTW the other type of glasses have electronic shutter lenses that alternate between new eyes, these are older and aren't really used any more.

Ernest Burden III Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I would have thought this feature would only be for new StreetView images, but it seems to be pretty widespread. They must have been shooting the stereo images for a while. Lot-o-fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
