The V1 Arrives!!!

The V1 arrives at my door with style from the regular mailman.  The package didn’t come via EMS like the games I usually order from Japan, but it still arrived in an orderly fashion.  I wasn’t sure whether I was more excited about the V1 then I was about the W1 but I knew that playing around with this 3D technology help satisfy my craving for actual 3D.  I opened the package and saw the V1 box that was obviously larger than the W1 box with a similar design.  I pulled it out from the wrappings and plugged it in.  I noticed that the front of the viewer was really glossy and I had to place the ball end of the leg into the back of the frame in order for it to stand correctly.  I inserted my best of snow pictures memory card into the device and pressed the small power button on the back of the 3D photo viewer.  A little sound occurred and the Fuji 3D logo appeared and the pictures started displaying.  The 3D didn’t look right at first because I wasn’t in the proper position.  I realized that this was discerning because if I wasn’t used to the screen of the camera and knew that you had to be at a sweet spot, I probably might have gotten frustrated.  I moved my head around and noticed that I had to be at least a foot or half a meter away with perfect angular alignment in order to achieve the perfect 3D.  It looked amazing at the correct viewing spot.  If I had moved a little out of position the image would appear ripple like and almost inverted.  I pressed the menu button on the viewer and saw that it was all in Japanese.  I thought this might be a problem if I can’t navigate through the menus.  I loaded up the manual on my net book and figured out how to change the language settings.  The seller on eBay mentioned that they could set the language to English but I thought it would not be a problem and it wasn’t.  The manual described that there was three possible angles to achieve the 3D viewing and I will tell you that the main angle wasn’t the easiest to get and the other two were not as good as the center angle.  My snow pictures appeared and I was almost in a trance.  I also read in the manual that I could have some Mp3 files on the memory card that the V1 will play them.  I knew exactly what I wanted to have playing along with my snow pictures.  Earlier that year Sting released a winter album that was very traditional and enjoyable, so I converted that to Mp3 and the album seemed to be almost as if it was meant to be synchronized with my pictures.  I thought to myself that if Sting saw this he would be proud.  After about thirty minutes a disclaimer appeared on the screen saying that I should take a break for health reasons.  I also believed I read somewhere that you shouldn’t have any children with the age of four or below viewing the 3D equipment.  Should these bits of information concern me?  Was this technology tested enough that they had health results from various people and children?  Was I at risk from using all of this 3D equipment?  Will these questions or disclaimers change in the future or even deter people away from the 3D revolution?  Was this investment really worth the effort and money?  I saw some of my greatest snow pictures and I believed it was totally worth it just because I had some perfect 3D pictures.  Now I had a way of showing individuals my pictures without the usage of glasses and they can be viewed the way that they were intended to be.  I was nervous around the picture frame because I knew I couldn’t just pick one up at your local retailer.  They probably won’t have one like this for another four years until the technology gets cheaper and better.  Now all I needed was a case to travel with it and I would be ready to show people on my adventures and truly display my 3D digital pictures to show the beauty of the third dimension!
