3D - 2

How do 3D glasses work, will they work from a recorded video on a camcorder?

So, i downloaded a movie that was recorded on a camera and its a 3D movie. I have 3D glasses, but would they still work with a recorded copy of the movie?

1. In order to see things in 3D each eye must see a slightly different picture. This is done in the real world by your eyes being spaced apart so each eye has its own slightly different view. The brain then puts the two pictures together to form one 3D image that has depth to it 3D film viewed without glasses is a very strange sight and may appear to be out of focus, fuzzy or out of register. The same scene is projected simultaneously from two different angles in two different colors, red and cyan (or blue or green). Here's where those cool glasses come in -- the colored filters separate the two different images so each image only enters one eye. Your brain puts the two pictures back together and now you're dodging a flying meteor! So im sure it will....... because it will still hvae the colors on the screen im sure., and the glasses separate them.
2. No, it will look totally screwed up- the above answer was describing the old red and blue cardboard glasses type of 3D used in the 80s, the new "real" 3D used in theaters is a much more advanced process and cannot be captured by a single video camera- much less displayed on anything other like a 3D video projector.
