A group of researchers in South Korea are working on a way to have 3-D without the 3-D glasses . What they do is that they take each of your eyes, sitting at a slightly different angle, have some of the screen blocked and some of the screen visible. The movie has the right-eye and left-eye images interleaved in vertical columns with one another. This then creates a 3-D effect at the right angle . The problem is , is that if you not at the right angle it will ruin the whole effect .  it also only airs the movie in really low resolution and will not look good when played live .

This is important because i hate 3-D it to me is an annoying gimic that needs to die and i hope they don't find a way to make all movies in 3-D like this . As a student this could impact me in the future because ill have to learn how to make movies in this way which will just be an extra chore . As a future film maker it will effect me severely because if the gimic grows large enough all movies will have to be shot in 3-D which will then make the movie to me worse . As a a consumer this will effect me horribly I hate 3-D and to make it bigger will make me not see some movies anymore and will limit what i see . this now raises the question will 3-D take over the consumers and will the gimic grow any bigger .

  1. It takes me a great effort to sit still during a movie. I'm pretty sure a lot of people share that problem. What South Korea is trying to accomplish is pretty impossible. You cannot just tell a person to sit in a specific angle during the duration of a two hour movie. I, personally, love 3D movies. But I guess every person is just entitled to their own opinion. I do not, however, like the fact that they are turning every single movie 3D. Not all movies fit the platform. Sometimes they are just better off kept 2D.

  2. 3D seems to be a way for the movie makers to earn profit, which disappoints me because they make it... gimmick-y.
    I don't really watch 3D anymore because its practically just the same as 2D but while wearing glasses that dim the color a bit. I wouldn't mind 3D that much if it was used for certain movies and accordingly to create an effect. So that something pops out at the viewer.
    And also, someone can't stay in the same angle for an hour, so how are they going to stay at that angle for 2 and half to 3 hours? -.-

  3. 3D Its really depressing, sure it looked awesome and amazing but can you even remember the plot? it just a strategy to make more money. I Prefer 2D but i can also agree with 3D/2D Movie as well , of corse in Action or Climax , 3D Can work fine (:

  4. I personally don't like 3D movies. I hate how every movies coming out is in 3D. I don't think south Korea will be successful with making 3D movies without the use of 3D glasses. Some people have a hard time sitting still for just a couple of minutes, it won't be possible to stay still for about 2-3 hours.

  5. i really hope that this technology is not released and i hope 3D dosen't take over the industry because 3D hurts my eyes and can potentially hurt anybody else's permanently…..im sure korea will find a way to prevent that but its just a hassle i wouldnt want to put up with.

  6. I hate 3D because its outrageous and drastically knocks the price of the ticket up to outrageous amounts. Korea should stop wasting their time with this if the movie turns out to be a low resolution piece of junk. Nobody wants to watch a blurry movie.
