Hi Friends, 3D technology has successfully penetrated into consumer markets based on the popularity of 3D movies in the theaters, which has greatly upgraded the industry. A lot of great and famous 3D movies, such as Avatar, Sholay3D  are so popular nowadays. Some of these 3D movies are also available as 3D Blu-ray DVDs & Youtube which you can watch quite conveniently at home if you have a device with 3D support. People usually use a 3D player to play 3D video and play 3D Blu-ray on computer.

3D Systems:
  • Anaglyph 3D System: It cheap old color based system, used on everywhere.

  • Polarized 3D Systems: It is used on our local cinema theatre.

  • Active shutter 3D system: It is used on 3D TV .
We used Anaglyph 3D method for our System. Anaglyph 3D is the name given to the stereoscopic 3D effect achieved by means of encoding each eye's image using filters of different (usually chromatically opposite) colors, typically red and cyan. Anaglyph 3D images contain two differently filtered colored images, one for each eye. When viewed through the "color-coded" "anaglyph glasses", each of the two images reaches one eye, revealing an integrated stereoscopic image. The visual cortex of the brain fuses this into perception of a three dimensional scene or composition.

what you need:

  • 3D Movie in SBS (Side-by-Side) format ( Download on Internet ) 

  • Anaglyph Red and Blue 3D Glasses ( Buy it from e-bay or anywhere )

  • Software such as  VLC Media Player 2.1.2

To be able to get depth perception, you’ll also need the good old red and blue 3D Glasses (a.k.a. Anaglyph 3D Glasses), which you might have laying around or you can buy them for really cheap on ebay 3D glasses Red/Cyan.
