3-D WITHOUT GLASSES

[g***@hotmail.com]

With 3D (without glasses) televisions on the horizon, will they be only for playing redray discs or will they be compatible with 3D blurays? Also when will we be able to see 3D without glasses in the cinemas or will it be exclusive to televisions that can play redray discs?

To answer the second question - 3D without glasses in theatres is effectively
impossible. There are ways of cheating it, and people will bring up the old
Russian splayed scrim and such, but it only works with MAJOR problems that would
be unacceptable to audiences. I've looked at it from all angles over many
years.

I disagree.NOTHING is impossible.They once said that man would never land on the moon but they did.That there would never be a horseless carriage but there was.We can never say for sure that there never will be 3D without glasses in cinemas.

Nothing is impossible? Taking a cue from your "man on the moon," I have yet to
see a politician (who remains alive) physically contort enough to stick his own
head up his butt. They also said we would have flying cars (but we don't)

Any civilization advanced enough to possibly have such a group display would
have no need of bringing people into groups like that. It would be like
installing mufflers on a horse carriage.

Anyway, the laws of optics allow for zones where one of the two images in
binocular vision predominates, but without head tracking and major continuing
adjustments, people move in and out of those zones. Maybe if the entire
audience was kitted out like Robot Chicken with head restraints it could work.
Otherwise, no.

The glassless 3D TVs will be using the same industry standard 3D Blu-ray's.
I don't believe there are any Red ray players for sale yet.

You won't be able to see it in theaters without glasses. The technology is
unique to televisions. And ignore those who claim it doesn't work. I've
been seeing this technology for several years prior to the introduction for
home use. NASA uses a glassless system at the Glenn Research Center in
Ohio. It has limitations, and doesn't work as well as the existing systems
(both passive and active), but you don't have to wear glasses.
