Disneys 3D glasses

[joef]

hey, I just returned from a trip to DL Paris(for new year...*woohoo!*, was amazinging) anyway. I managed to "come across" earseek a pair of the 3D glasses used in the "Honey I Shrunk the Audience" attraction. I am planning on making my own 3D animations, i have tried to mess around with images to try to get them to go into 3d while wearing the glasses. Although i have no sucess. I think its meant to be 2 different images overlapped with 1 transparent, but not sure exactly. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of glasses they were(LCD or watever) and/or what the technique it is they use to make the images 3d(whether its JPS images they use or not).
I hope someone can help me soon

It is not that simple. Yes, without the glasses, it may seem like two images on top of each other, but the reality of it is one of the images is polarized to a certain lens. Each of the lens on Disney's 3D glasses has either a positive or negative polarity. As such, each lens filters out certain parts of the images through. The brain then uses these filters to make the images appear 3D.

You have some major reverse engineering to do, because I doubt anyone here knows what the settings are for each of the lens.

Actually, one side is Hortizontal, and the other is Vertically Polarized.

A neat trick while waiting in line for the next 3-D movie, take 2 pairs of glasses, and place one lens for each pair together, and see is the lens is totally black, or that you can see thru it... then rotate one pair 90 degrees, and the oppisite effect will happen. one way, the polarity lines up, and you can see thru it... the other way, they are the oppsites, and therefore becomes a black lens.

The 3-D movies in the park use two projectors (Shrek 4-D uses 4, 2 for each lens), one projects the Hortizontal half, the other the Vertical...

Now, when you go to your local movie theater, like the latest Spy Kids movie, the theater only has one projector, so this is when you get the traditional Red/Blue glasses. The film itself contains the Red and Blue images in the same image.

that's why theator movies are so lousy?


Shrek uses an extra two? why?

Yeah strange how things like that can just happend by accident :P but the bad thing is when i got them home one of the legs of the glasses had snapped *heads off to get some super glue* :P. So do u think i should look in to polarizied images, is that my best field to start researching in? :S

thanks again

I used to love it when people exiting from Captain EO would look around to see if anyone was looking and then sneak the 3D glasses into an inside pocket in their jacket. When I called them on it and asked for the glasses back, they'd always say, "Oh, you mean we can't keep them?" Yeah, they thought they were allowed to keep them; that's why they went to all the trouble of looking around and hiding them in an inside pocket.
