I've always been a big time fan of 3D and so I put out some of my work in various stereo formats. I've discovered not as many people have 3D tvs or monitors so I end up rendering a lot to red/cyan anaglyphs. Does anybody else here enjoy or produce 3D? What kind of gear do you use to produce or view it? I shoot my 3D photos on a Fujifilm finepix w3 and video on a Sony TD10.
I'm surprised to have not seen anything for Google Cardboard, the cardboard box you slide your phone in and can watch 3D. It seems as simple as having the right and left side next to each other, bit there may be more intricacies I'm not aware of. The end user only needs to fashion the cardboard and watch, nothing too complicated.
I love 3d stuff. Trying to get together the $ to get one. I have shot with a few producers who have them and it is fun.... Now I just gotta get one of my own!
If not covered in frosting, are you really living?
The part that I'm primarily frustrated with is the almost 100% lack of support on the mac platform for editing applications. To be fair, only the fairy feeble (but still functional) Power Director, and Sony Vegas actually handled 3D video with any ability whatsoever.
I would think side-by-side would support the most users - 3d tv - google cardboard - viewable as red/cyan anaglyph in VLC for Windows/Mac/Linux (effects & filters:video effects:advanced:anaglyph) - red/cyan anaglyph on Android with sView steroscopic viewer app - red/cyan anaglyph on iPhone with CineXPlayer app
On the other hand, anaglyph encoded can only be viewed with red/cyan.
