Watching the Olympics ... in 3D
I had ordered some 3D glasses for a very old TV show, based on
the
Pulfrich effect, in fact the show mentioned on that site, Doctor Who. I
found a place online selling them for only 99 cents each,
called
Science Stuff. The cool thing is that they are great for sports with a lot
of motion (like skiing, or what happens to be on the Olympic
coverage now, replay of Figure Skating. The principle is that
by tinting one side, you're slightly slowing the light hitting
your eye, causing your brain to percieve 3D. There's the
normal sensation with 3D glasses after you take them off,
where your eyes feel wierd seeing the same amount of light in
both eyes again!
