Getting Some 3D Glasses!


I left that Wednesday morning to see “Avatar” three times back to back.  The first showing had one of my programmer friends with me.  The second showing I had to fight to stay awake.  The third showing I met with a different friend.  All three showings were max capacity of 3D viewers and it was crazy.  So far I have seen “Avatar” in IMAX 3D four times and I planned to see it in 2D and digital 3D eventually.  I was still waiting for the hundred glasses from china to arrive and I was starting to get worried that they won’t be here on time prior to having guests over for a holiday celebration.  A paper brown package arrived and I was super excited and followed to leave positive feedback for the seller and was ready to show some 3D pictures.  I also figured that I might need more glasses in the future so I immediately placed another order for another hundred anaglyph glasses.  I now could create a CD-R or DVD-R and give the converted pictures with a pair of glasses for future 3D viewers of my 3D pictures.  I was feeling more comfortable about this 3D camera purchase and felt like I was ahead of most people that will be taking 3D pictures in the future.  It was nice to have 3D pictures of family, friends, animals, places, and various oddities.  I also starting thinking that  about a hundred years from now that 3D pictures will so easy to view that the date when picture was taken will be like having a European cell phone Within the United States two years before the cell phone explosion.  I remember as a child traveling various parts of Europe and seeing tons of people talking on little cell phones and even people were faking the action of talking on the cell phones just to look cool.  I didn’t see that happening in the states prior to going on a European adventure.  The cell phone explosion happened around the USA just a few years later and was like the same thing that I saw on my travels.  Could this happen with 3D?  Will the future cellular phones have the same style of screen that my 3D camera has?  Will it be so easy to take a 3D picture or video on the spot?  Will the News eventually go 3D?  I heard about that YouTube was supposed to get ready to do actual 3D to watch on 3D monitors, TVs or even mobile devices.  I started thinking even deeper about what was going to happen when 3D screen material becomes so cheap that it will be on walls at places that you go to visit.  Will clear acrylic screen technology be able to produce a 3D image?  All of these questions and only answers that turn out to be only speculative.  It is fun to think about but also irritating at the same time.  I guess we will eventually figure this out because it is only a matter of time.
