Want 3D Without the Glasses? Just Blink Real Fast!

[admin]

OK, so some of you love 3D and hate it... but I think we can all agree that no matter how bulky glasses are or aren't, they are much preferred to hooking up electrodes to your head and forcing your eyes to flutter at 60 cycles per second... at least that's what I would hope you would say. In this YouTube video Jonathan Post showcases his new invention: a system that allows you to watch 3D TV without "glasses". He puts two small devices on the sides of his head, presumably electrodes with some kind of power supply - similar to those exercise electrodes used to cause small muscle spasms on purpose. The supposed electrodes than cause his eyes to blink in rapid succession, timed perfectly to the required frequency (we'd guess 60Hz) of the television. The big overhanging question of course, is whether or not this guy is simply a master blinker, or if this is truly the worst invention of 2011 - watch it and judge for yourselves...

Dude, this is so old now.. Are you using dial-up internet?
This has been around for weeks. Broadband dude, broadband.

But.. I still crack up every time I watch this video.. Super creepy but yet funny.

That is probably the BEST looking version of glasses 3D that is going to be available for years to come. People are so hung up on the concept that auto-stereoscopic displays are in any way possible in a practical sense.

I've seen nothing that indicates that they are in any way that looks better than junk, even from the best viewing positions. VHS quality for $12,000... Yay! And that is ONLY if you are standing right on the 'X' and have your head in the perfect position.

I will keep repeating it until someone comes up with something amazing that proves me wrong. I look FORWARD to that actually happening.

He probably did ... as soon as they stopped the camera.

Because just watching this one guy made me LOL for nearly a full minute... and I think seeing my friends all gathered on the sofa looking like a choir of epilleptics at a rave would truly make my life complete.
