I have a 3d glass. Can i use it to watch 3d films in mini screens such as tv,pc?
i got a 3d glass after watching the 3d movie avatar. Can i use it to watch 3d films in mini screens such as tv,pc?
No clue. And unless those answers who claim to have an answer have been involved with developing the TV version of 3D, I’m guessing they really have no clue either. Here’s why…
There are three kinds of 3D glasses: the amber/dark blue [See source.], the polarized, and the active shutter [See source.].
Both ESPN and Discovery Channel have announced they will be broadcasting 3D in the near future. But their screens are not amber/dark blue as viewers can note on a recent news cast announcing the events.
In fact, as the recent news cast showed, two duplicate images with the same colors can be seen on the TV screen. This means they are using one of two technologies: the polarized or the active shutter.
Polarized images and polarized glasses will be needed to see the 3D effect. That’s what Avatar uses. So at least the right technology is being used and the movie glasses (which you should have returned) might work.
I say “might” because polarization is a 360 degree effect. And which two out of 360 degrees are used by the Avatar and by the TV broadcasts to cause the 3D effect is unknown to me… and I suspect to the other answers. My point is this, even though your glasses are polarized, they may still be not compatible with the TV 3D because different angles might be used. And that’s only if the polarization system is being used… and that’s not clear.
If the active shutter system is being used, the one being sold in 2010 by Sony, then your polarized Avatar glasses will not work. Active shutter is a totally different technology.
The active shutter system shows alternating images of the same thing; so the synched glasses that come with the Sony system allow one eye at a time to look at each pair of slightly offset images.
And that’s how this system gives the 3D effect. As Sony claims active shutter glasses, which come with the TVs, are needed, I doubt your passive polarized glasses from Avatar will work with this system.
Best as I can say at this point… give them a try once the TV 3D starts.
Oh, one more thing… I suspect HDTV is a prerequisite. As the split images used in the polarization and active shutter technology require considerable precision, I don’t see 3D working well, if at all, with standard broadcast signals.
