Do you dream in 3D?

[phenix]

And this is the 3D technology and hardware forum.
I can't complaint though, it's fun.

Ooh.. 3D porn here I come!...

you know, you may joke about that but you can actually find stereoscopic adult images and let me tell you- it's AMAZING. once you get used to that stuff 2d just doesnt do it for you anymore, it's just so incredible. There are a few free places I've seen, but I also found a place with DVD's for sale!

Links, please.

Do you need those red - blue glasses to view them, or some other special glasses?
Or are they those where you have to crook your eyes to be able to see the 3D (Magic pictures?) if so, I don't want to see them. I already have the hairy palms, I don't want a headache too :/

Hey - you wan't to be careful here. It's always been said that dirty pictures damage your eye sight!

It's also said that it stunts your growth, but that doesn't quite explain why the Porn mags are always kept on the top shelves at newsagents...

I'd have thought 'smellovision' wouldn't be too popular in this day and age seeing as most people have Home PCs now - you wouldn't want to stink your house out. That said, it would certainly add an extra dimension to the various creepy-zombie games. In fact, I can see the advertising now:

"Resident Evil XXXIII - now with a free sick bag if the smell of putrefaction becomes too much for you!"

It's fascinating that the sense of smell has such a long memory.

I can see how 'smell-o-vision' could have a big effect on games atmosphere. Of course not very obnoxious smells, but smells like gasoline, hot asphalt, grass, rain etc...

Does anyone still remember that Madonna vinyl LP (Like A Prayer, if I remember correct). It had a sccented inner cover, and I can still remember how it smelled even thoug I haven't been sniffing it for almost 10 years!

So maybe we can have rose-scented e-mails one day?

So called fe-mails.

in fact, I would happy to see fast colorwheel DLP projectors dropping their price. Why?

well, imagine two of those with Horizontal and vertical polaroid filters (one for each projector.) projecting 100" image to your living room wall. With Dual head graphics card and stereographic drivers (displaying one eye point views per projector) would really kick Doom3 or Half Life 2 alive with proper 5.1 sound system. Only thing needed would be polaroid glasses.


too bad it is just a dream. (or... well, if I win a lottery, remind me about this and I buy a one. )

careful folks that this thread does not stray too much futher...

there are quite a few ways of viewing stereoscopic stills. of course, there's the old anaglyph way with the red-blue glasses. then, you have the LCD shutter glasses with a terrific array of modes (line blanking, page flipping, interlaced, etc etc etc). and then there's the good ol' cross-eyed method. this is actually my preferred method because the anaglyph doesn't give you proper colour and the glasses can be expensive. cross-eyed viewing is what the "magic eye" images use and, actually, I've made a few of my own (adult-themed ones) all you have to do is have a black-and-white image to represent Z (I use Maya software renderer to render a z-only image) and then there are several free programs you can find on the web which will allow you to use that to create a stereoscopic image. Now, the problem with that is that the colour information is all of the texture you're using and not of the stereoscopic image you are wanting to see- for that, with cross-eyed viewing, you must simply have two images side-by-side and just cross your eyes so that they overlay each other. For some people it apparently is difficult and gives them a headache, but when it's dirty pics you tend not to notice. Keep working at it and it just gets easier and easier; I remember when I couldnt, for the life of me, see any cross-eyed images but, after lots of patience and practice, it's almost second-nature.

While I'm hardly the connoisseur of 3d porn (but not objectionable to the idea *cough*links*cough*), I do enjoy gaming in 3d. One of the reasons I like nVidia cards, btw - they have offered stereoscopic 3d support in the drivers that works with ANY game for....oh, forever or so.

I would have said the same as you a couple weeks ago. However, having recently switched back to nVidia (due to having it up to *here* with ATI's older game support), I started longing for stereoscopic 3d in games again. I have an LCD now - when I first dove into this, it will on an old 17" CRT with the EDimensional glasses.

Well, on a LCD monitor, the ONLY way to get stereo3d in games is to use the anaglyph red/blue glasses. Those cheap paper ones are alright, but I figured if this would be my only solution for 3d, I'd want to look around some more.

Anyway, found these anaglyph glasses. Initially, I bought them just because they were plastic - I figured more durable - and had a much larger 'lense' than the cheap paper ones. It seemed most of what I saw looking through the cheap paper ones WAS the paper frame, so these looked good to me.

Anyway, I was AMAZED at the difference in quality. I'd say that if all you've used anaglyph was those cardboard glasses (like comes with certain DVDs or 3d comic books), you really haven't experienced anaglyph properly *on a PC*. IMO, these provide almost as good color reproduction as the LCD shutter glasses (which are sligthly more accurate color-wise, but less accurate with contrast)...and, of course, MUCH cheaper.

for those of you wanting links- you'll have to do it the same way I did, search on google. im not going to give them to you at least not on this public forum where kids can see.

Yeah I dream in 3D and in color too (most people don't). I also dream physical sensations directly.

They don't? :?



and just lol at the diversion of this thread :|



going back to a more gaming related 3d, the first game I remember to have 3d 3d support - magic carpet.

It had both a red-green/blue glasses and a 'magic eye' mode. Actually I still think that game was impressive graphically - 3d modes, reflections, motion blur..
