How about agony in 3-D?

I have not mastered Polarizing yet. I have about a 50% yield with this method. The prices that I quoted for other glasses were just off the cuff. I don't really know as their pricing fluctuates based upon competitors but I'd be suprised to find shutter glasses for less than $30US; and would question the quailty and durabilty if I did. I figure most people would rather spend money on collecting images and video rather than fragile high-end glasses. I personally have no desire to support them as long as I continue to find the red/blue glasse for free from several different websites.

This was slightly tongue-in-cheek, hoping you'd reveal what your 6 different systems are - you can't polarise images on a computer screen, you need a projection system

However, plastic polarising filters are available from professional photographic suppliers at a reasonable price, and making a cardboard frame for them is very simple.

THIS is something that might be useful or interesting to the owners and members of the website and forums... (who knows?)

Would you now call this spam?

Sure you can. The trick is to create and place a digital filter into the videocards firmware so that it creates the illusion rather than converting it. Not easy. As you can see, I am taking a completely different approach for polarization and haven't quite figured it out. As, you know 3d pictures/videos are really two pictures of an object taken from slightly different angles and combined together. The illusion comes to life when we apply 3d glasses (filters) to our eyes which tricks our brain into thinking their is depth to be percieved. To go from 2d to 3d was long thought to be impossible: "How can a regular picture be converted to 3d if the second picture doesn't exist?'' Well, that theory is now busted using Digital Depth Mapping and the horsepower of my computer to make second picture. I hope for the same with polarization which is far more complex because it requires not only tricking our brains, but 'tricking' the output of the computers videocard as well.

The other combinations I can use with depth mapping are:
Parallel
Above/Below
BW Anaglyph
Interlaced
Crosseyed
Yellow Anaglyphs

These are all formats that have been around a while that combine the two images.

Without the advertising I think the forum is a good way to, propose stuff like 3d viewing of agonies, and, also, discuss appropriate ways to offer such services. Thanks for posting what I think is a cool idea.

I agree. Unfortunately my post in this forum was the only thing that got the admin's attention once others started replying to it. Perhaps I should have proposed it differently, but I guess I thought by being a paying member to this site my email to the admin deserved some kind of response like 'lets see what you can do' or 'Sorry, not interested.' and that would have been the end of story.

Thanks to all who viewed/replied. However, all good thing must come to an end and the link is now down. If you all would like to see more, bug the admins into contacting and me I shall provide more.

Hardly. You cannot get the light emitted from the phosphors in a computer's CRT (or from the liquid crystals in a LCD) to polarise in 2 chosen directions.

I couldn't get any 3D effect at all fromt he samples, just some intemrittent colourisation of the whites. Perhaps it depends on the quality of the specs? But thanks for the demo.

I doubt it's the quality of the specs. Try googling for 3d images, so that you can tell if your specs are working:
