Wow, forget about using those bulky, expensive 3-D cameras and those stupid looking, annoying 3-D glasses. The future has arrived... not. Anybody working in the 3-D field knows the trick; and I'm not talking about the smooth sales talk selling age-old technology in a new shiny box. Sorry to burst this bubble guys. In a nutshell, 2-D to 3-D conversion works like this: for 3-D you need two different camera positions - the left eye image being a bit to the left of the right eye image. If a camera is moving from right to left, frame 2 will be slightly to the left of frame 1, so you can send frame 2 to the left eye and frame 1 to the right eye. Great, so that's your 2-D to 3-D conversion. However, things go pear-shaped when there is vertical camera movement; your left eye will see an image that is higher or lower than your right eye. Ouch! That hurts - forget about painful 3-D cinema experiences; this is really like pulling your eyes out of their sockets with a hoover. And, of course, the sad disappointment of no 3-D at all when there is no camera movement. Remeber - this 2-D to t3-D business only works when there is horizontal camera movement. Am I putting this company out of business? Hey, they can always adopt a new name like 'DDDD-The Fourth Dimension Inc.' and promote this age-old system all over again. But then do I offer alternatives? Well, this is not the place for such a lengthy story, but you can always check out my website. I was just trying to give consumers all fairness of the truth. I'll sign off with my real name as well, Alexander Lentjes sledgeham.com Yes, it’s the same old story all over again.
