2-D Glasses: Watch 3-D Movies Without The 3-D

Many people complain of headache and uneasiness when watching 3-D movies.

If you are one of them, Hank Green an inventor has a special pair of glasses for you.

Mr Green hit upon the novel idea that one could easily convert 3-D video into 2-D by simply blocking light from one of the two overlapping images.

When his wife confessed that she gets headaches when watching 3D movies, the happy-to-help Mr Green repurposed the 3D glasses by swapping polarising filters and created the world’s first 2D glasses.

Mr Green’ 2-D glasses look like 3-D glasses, only they have the same polarization in each lens, which effectively strips away the 3-D and leaves a 2-D image for you to enjoy without developing a headache. You can buy a pair of these glasses for $8.

3D Sound From Ordinary Speakers

Edgar Choueiri, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, has developed a way to play true three-dimensional sound recordings over regular loudspeakers, such as those found in computer laptops and televisions.

In one demonstration, two microphones were placed on a dummy’s head who is made to sit in a conference table with several other people.

The recorded sound from the two microphones were played back through two ordinary speakers - after processing them using Choueri's 3D filter - in another room where the listener is.

The listener was able to correctly locate the position of each speaker.


The technique may one day be used to allow 3D televisions to produce lifelike sound and to help people with certain types of hearing impairments locate noises.
