Anyone got their 3-D glasses?

I was at Acme and the cashier and bagger were talking about having the glasses, but they had no more. It just makes the commercials look annoying, though i'm sure they'd look just as harsh WITH the glasses.

Originally posted by Jimbo Unfortunately, I don't. Not enjoying the 3-D ads.

Yeah, I have an excellent pair of 3D Anaglyph glasses, and those commercials SUCKED! Either that or my 48" Mitsubishi HD TV is really horribly out of whack color-wise. I got almost no 3D effect from those two ads. Perhaps, they have tuned the colors so that you MUST have THEIR glasses to see it right.

I tried flipping my glasses upside down, in case they had broadcast the colors the other way, but the screen was just flat that way. I saw just enough of a hint of 3D to be visually confusing.

IMHO, Disney and Gatorade just tossed quite a few millions of bucks right down the crapper.

I just read CheezNapkin's reply, and maybe I was right, you do need the company's special issue 3D glasses to see it right.

If broadcasters are going to start playing more Analglyph 3D programming, all of them really need to sit down together and hammer out a standard. Otherwise, everyone that does this will have to somehow distribute yet more special 3D glasses every time, and we who might be interested in viewing those shows, will have to keep a bloody huge collection of pre-labeled 3D glasses on hand, so we can grab the right ones. But I have trouble thinking that Analglyph 3D is ever going to be much more than a curious novelty, and the narrowest of niche markets.

Thanks for that report. That is what was wrong. My not exactly cheap "true" anaglyph glasses are Red/Blue. I had never heard of Blue/Yellow before, but the yellows came right through. That is what I meant by creating a standard.

I got my fancy glasses because I have quite a collection of 3D images from the various Mars missions. I hated the paper framed flimsy cellophane lens cheap glasses, and purchased these. They can fit over my prescription glasses, and have optically flat red and blue lenses, so they do not create optical distortions.

The best full motion 3D I've ever seen, was at a huge IMAX theater in Irvine, California. That system used LCD glasses controlled by an infra red system in the theater, to alternately close or open each lens, and project one frame to the screen for each blink of each glasses lens. So, each eye saw a different perspective.  Nice depth, and pretty decent color and resolution. But the LCDs in the glasses had a maximum speed they could blink, so that limited the motion on the screen. But still, nicely done, IMAX.

I suppose that if I watched more TV, and actually watched and listened to the ads (cough, hack, gag, ) then I would have got the word and gone looking for the right glasses.

The best one I witnessed was a 3D-IMAX at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida which was about the space station. That looked like 3D to me. As for the commercials tonight, it looked like it was filmed in "Wonka Vision"!

There were PLENTY of glasses to go around at the Party I went to yesterday. One thing I DIDN'T Like. When you tried to separate the glasses you found out whoever had these things manufactured DID NOT perforate the lenses! I'm sure there were those who couldn't watch the 3-D Stuff because they ruined their glasses trying to separate them!

If you have the glasses, they can be reused tonight.  There's a show called Chuck that will be broadcast in 3-D.

Not a good ad campaign not to tell folks where to get the darned things.  I only found out about it late on Friday...never saw any in the grocery store yesterday.
