3D Basics
When you look around, you see a world full of solid objects. But this perception of a 3D world is created by your brain using visual information from each eye. Each eye sees an image, much like a camera, but because your eyes are horizontally separated by a few inches, each eye sees a slightly different image. This difference between the left and right eye images is what your brain uses to create a 3D view of the world.
If you capture a pair of videos with cameras horizontally separated by a few inches, then you might have the stereoscopic data necessary to create a 3D movie. The cameras must be almost identical, using the same focus, zoom, exposure, timing, and aligned properly. Most image alignment problems can be corrected by the Medtron 3D software.
The secret to seeing 3D images or videos is to show the left images to the left eye
and the right images to the right eye, and let your brain do the rest.
This is accomplished by using 3D Displays and Glasses.
3D Displays & Glasses
Anaglyph (Red/Cyan) 3D mode
The Anaglyph (Red/Cyan) 3D display mode will work on almost any display device.
Anaglyph is not the highest quality 3D display mode, but provides an inexpensive solution for stereoscopic 3D viewing .
The Anaglyph 3D display mode does not require the use of nVidia based graphic cards or nVidia drivers when using Dvd3D, Play3D or View3D.
Anaglyph (Red/Cyan) glasses
High quality Red/Cyan glasses can be purchased for less than $10.
I use and recommend the Anaglyph Pro-View glasses.
NVIDIA 3D VISION
NVIDIA 3D VISION is available from nVidia, and supports 3D page-flip on compatible 3D TVs and PC monitors.
The 3D Vision kit includes LCD glasses, ir-emitter, Stereo 3D drivers, and stereoscopic viewer applications.
nVidia also provides system requirements and a compatibility tool to help create a 3D Vision system.
The current NVIDIA 3D VISION drivers do not work with LCD glasses and emitters from other manufacturers!
