The Holidays had arrived and I got the small picture frame set up on the table, the Blu-Ray player was up and running, the multitude of glasses were readied to be handed out and I couldn’t wait. The pictures that I had converted might not have been the best pictures in general but I know some day I will have great pictures to show and that day will be coming soon. I had chips, pretzels and cheese on the main coffee table near the television for the coming viewers and in the dining room I had carving roast beef, lasagna, eggplant parmigiana, green beans with almonds, chicken marsala, caesar salad, dinner rolls and some hot roasted peppers for all the guests to enjoy. I didn’t prepare any of these culinary items because I had someone that I knew take care of the food category. I figured if everyone could eat something good that it might enhance their 3D viewing. My family members started to arrive around seven thirty and got some beverages and began talking amongst themselves. I was almost ready to start showing some pictures but I wanted everyone to get comfortable. The time started to go by fast and it was an hour into the party and some friends had also arrived and I got too anxious so I started giving everybody around the TV the inexpensive glasses from the other side of the world. I started to start the slideshow and it was quite comical to see everyone wearing the glasses. A few guests were impressed but most people thought the 3D wasn’t that great. I started to get upset and wasn’t sure about this reaction. I didn’t feel too good about all the effort that I had already invested into this 3D experiment. What was I doing wrong? Did people in general not really care about 3D? Was the world not ready for consumer level 3D? Will 3D pictures even have a chance in the future? Will there ever be a 3D camera available for purchase at regular stores? Did the glasses turn viewers away from the 3D? Did I just not take good pictures and that they should never even be viewed? I knew it was time for a drink to make myself feel better from all of these obtrusive thoughts. I couldn’t figure it out. The 3D looked perfect with the glasses that I used. I wasn’t using the glasses that I got the day prior to the party because I liked the ones that I was using when converting my pictures. The 3D viewing was over and the party resumed as if nothing ever happened. I needed to think about what I was doing and try to investigate what just happened. I decided to forget about this for now and that I was just going to wait for the new year to come and will deal with it then. I loaded up on some of the vast food items and before I knew it everyone was gone and the clean up phase had to begin. It was a good effort but the results weren’t the results that were expected but it was fun none the less!
