Virtually all systems involve using a pair of camera to film the original movie. The two cameras are placed beside each other at the same distance as the separation of human eyes. This gives you two films; one for the left eye, one for the right. The next stage is in projection - there are two mechanisms widely used so the the left eye receives the information from the left film and the right eye from the right. The two most common techniques is to use colour filters; the left film is passed through a red filter (say) and the right film passed through a green filter. Viewers have to wear special glasses with corrosponding coloured filters so the the left and right images arrive at the correct eyes. The problem with this system is that, understandably, the colours of the film is distorted by the filters. A more modern technique uses polarised glasses; polarised light will pass through polarised glass only if they are both polarised in the same direction, by using horizontal polarised glass in one lens of the glasses and vertical in the other, and projecting the left and right films with corrosponding polarisation the left and right information is correctly received. The advantage of this system is that the colour information in the film isn't distorted by the 3d system, the disadvantages is that a special screen is required to maintain the polarisation and the glasses are relatively expensive. A third system is to use shuttered glasses; these are special glasses that alternately blank out the left and right eye in synchronism with the projector which alternately projects left and right frames. This system is rarely used for public projection, it does get used for home computer games occasionally.

2D is a movie where the characters are flat on a screen, what we usually see on television and in theaters. 3D is where the characters on the screen seem to pop out like in real life, they are not flat. In 3D movies, special 3D glasses are required.

It depends on the movie. Doug Walker once said that how you can tell a good 3D movie is by how well you can see things. If the movie is very dark, or has lots of blurry action scenes, or is made up of mostly talking instead of action, it might not do much for you. If you can see everything clearly and there is a lot of action and special effects, then it'll probably be more enjoyable.

well the difference between a 3d movie and a normal one is the 3d movie you watch comes out at you when you wear 3d glasses whereas if you didnt wear the glasses its just a normal movie.

Can you watch 3d on standard tv?

Yes you can watch it without the glasses on but . . .It would suck because nothing would be in 3DIt would be blurry in the places it is meant to be in 3DThere would be no point in going to see the film if it was without the glass providedYou would probably get a headache from the weird color shifts.


Can a non 3D movie be played as 3D on a 3D TV?

Some 3D televisions have a 3D simulation facility that tries to recreate a 3D image from 2D content. Don't expect it to be the same standard as content originated in 3D. The feature must be treated as a bonus and not a reason to buy one model over another.

Is monsters vs aliens better in real d 3d or IMAX 3d?

It doesn't really matter but Imax has better audio quality? __________________________________________________________________ It will depend whether or not the IMAX movie is an actual IMAX movie, projected from horizontal 70mm film, or just a 35mm or digital projection blown up to the IMAX screen size. Most of the IMAX 3D blockbuster movies you see (Harry Potter, Tron etc.) are not shot with IMAX cameras. Some movies, such as The Dark Knight, mix scenes shot with IMAX cameras with 35mm cameras. The larger film stock (4 times the size of a standard film frame) allows much greater detail, and will look better as a 3D movie as well. The sound is digital disc playback, and usually has the same quality as other 35mm movies. When IMAX was first introduced, it had much better sound quality than other movies houses, but now most theaters have the same quality sound.
