HISTORY OF 3D PROJECTION

3D MOVIES THAT CHANGED…WELL, UH…

ME!

•SPACE STATION 3D (2002)• ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

• FIRST IMAX 3D FILMED IN SPACE

• NARRATED BY TOM CRUISE

3D MOVIES THAT CHANGED…WELL, UH…

ME!

• THE POLAR EXPRESS (2004)• BASED ON BOOK BY CHRIS VAN ALLSBURG

• MOTION CAPTURE COMPUTER ANIMATION

• COSTS $165 MILLION TO PRODUCE

• BEFORE WE SEE A CLIP OF THE POLAR EXPRESS, LET’S TALK ABOUT

ANAGLYPHS

• ANAGLYPH – IS A STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE

• OLD STEREOSCOPES LIKE THIS ONE WERE USED

BACK IN THE MID-1800s AND IN THE EARLY

1900s

ANAGLYPHS

• NEWER STEREOSCOPES APPEARED IN THE 1950s

• EVENTUALLY THE 3D VIEWMASTER WAS CREATED!

ANAGLYPH GLASSES

• ARE USED BY THE VIEWER TO SEE 3D IMAGES

• RED / CYAN ARE THE MOST POPULAR COLORS

• GLASSES ARE CHEAP!

• PAPER GLASSES ARE ABOUT $ .25 EACH OR LESS

• PLASTIC GLASSES ARE BETWEEN $2 TO $4 EACH

ANAGLYPH GLASSES

• SEVERAL BOOKS COME WITH CYAN / RED GLASSES FOR 3D EFFECTS

LET’S CHECK OUT SOME ANAGLYPHS!

ANAGLYPH GLASSES

• SEVERAL MOVIES CAN BE VIEWED WITH CYAN / RED GLASSES FOR 3D EFFECTS

• WARNING: NOT ALL 3D ANAGLYPH MOVIES USE CYAN / RED

• MIGHT USE OTHER COLOR COMBINATION GLASSES

ALRIGHT, LET’S CHECK OUT THE POLAR EXPRESS WITH 3D ANAGLYPH GLASSES

EH, SOME ANAGLYPH MOVIES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS

BOTTOM LINE…..RED / CYAN PICS AND MOVIES ARE GOOD FOR

CHEAP VIEWING OF 3D MEDIA

WANT SOMETHING BETTER?

GOTTA PAY THE PRICE!

TWO TYPES OF “REAL” 3D PROJECTION

PASSIVE AND ACTIVE

PASSIVE GLASSES ARE USED AT THE MOVIE THEATRES AND ARE VERY INEXPENSIVE.

THEY COST WHAT? A DOLLAR, MAYBE?

COOL! LET’S USE THEM!I HEAR THAT THEY WORK FINE ON SOME 3D TVS, RIGHT?
